Ditch the store bought cleaners full of chemicals and clean your bathroom with these DIY toilet cleaner tabs. They’re an easy no-scrub option to keep your bathroom sparkling clean!
If there’s one thing I despise cleaning it’s the bathroom. I mean, is there anything in the bathroom that’s fun to clean? I’m always finding toothpaste and hand soap all over the girls’ sink and don’t get me started on the shower! And everyone’s least favorite is probably the same as mine… the toilet!
But what if I told you there’s a way to clean your toilet without scrubbing AND without trash!? It’s true and I’ve been loving these DIY toilet cleaning bombs since I made them the first time.
If you like to DIY anything, you’re going to appreciate just how easy these are to make and appreciate even more how easy they are to use! They are a great, no scrub option to use between deep cleanings and refresh the bathroom with a lovely scent thanks to essential oils.
I also love these because you can use a variety of items to make them. Of course, the toilet cleaner ingredients themselves need to be the same, but you can use different molds to make them different shapes and styles. I’ve even used K-cups [that have been emptied after using] for molds! It’s a great way to recycle them and make this DIY even green-er.
While your toilet will still need a decent scrub every now and then, these DIY toilet tabs are great for in between cleanings and refreshing when you have guests over, especially at the holidays. Speaking of, they’d also make a great DIY gift idea too!
If you’re looking to green your bathroom routine, I’d highly recommend making your own toilet cleaner like these. You control the ingredients and don’t have to worry about horrible cleaning fumes. They are also a waste-free type cleaner… nothing to throw away.

Lindsey says
January 17, 2019 at 3:41 pmI just add a couple of drops to the middle of the roll, right on the paper. 🙂

April 11, 2018 at 6:21 amI’d like to try the toilet cleaners. We have well water which makes keeping the toilets clean a challenge.

December 11, 2018 at 10:42 pmTry saturating a paper tower with white vinegar (can use several). Circle them around in the toilet bowl covering the mineral deposits. Leave them over night or many hours if you can. In the morning, most of your mineral deposits will be gone. This really works!! Tip: Make sure you close the lid on your toilet and put something on top of it to remind you that paper towels should be flushed.

December 12, 2018 at 10:49 amThis is an awesome tip! I’m definitely going to try as we have a mineral deposit ring around one of our toilets that I just can’t seem to get off!
Thank you, Shirley!

April 8, 2018 at 8:44 amQuestion for how to use the toilet tabs. Are they the ones you put in your tank like the Clorox tabs or are they meant to go into the actual toilet bowl to clean?
Lindsey says
April 8, 2018 at 3:30 pmThese are meant to be put right into your toilet bowl.

Lindsey says
November 27, 2017 at 6:15 amI don’t see the exact one, but here’s one that’s very similar – http://amzn.to/2zFXqd5. I bought it on Amazon just by searching “silicone mold”. Thanks for visiting!

We have a cold water wash so no plumbing is required just attach to cold water line at rear of toilet seat..warm water seats are available for those with this preference.They are cheap to buy online and cost about $30 each. (cold).We have used these in our toilets for years now..Couldn’t live without them..Great also for anyone with shoulder problems
