What Ingredients Do You Need To Make Your Own Eco-Friendly Cleaning Products?

*Affiliate Links

Whenever I start talking about making my own eco-friendly cleaning products I am usually met with two feelings – That sounds complicated and that must be so time-consuming. I completely understand that because I felt the same way when I first started looking into doing this but now I know what each product does, I know how well they work and where I can use them and because I have created eco-cleaning graphics that I can quickly refer to, I find this way of cleaning extremely fun and satisfying. So here are the ingredients you need to make eco-friendly cleaning products and why…

The BEST Eco-Friendly Homemade Toilet Cleaner You Will Try

*Affiliate Links

Cleaning a toilet the eco-friendly way can have its challenges. If you are anything like past me, you have probably always grabbed that bottle of bleach to get that clean look/sparkle/fresh smell but it really isn’t doing everything you think it is PLUS it is terrible for the environment. It took me a while to realise but once I knew, I made the changes I needed in order to make my home more eco-friendly. Trouble was, I couldn’t find a product that gave me the clean my toilet needed (not with 2 young boys in the house!). So, I started to look into making my own products. One fun product I made, which you may have seen on my blog before, are toilet bombs. They combine the power of citric acid and bicarb to create an easy to use fizzing “bomb” that will do all the hard work for you. Now, I do love these but they do take some time and practise to make and as a busy Mum, I don’t have much time! So, I needed to come up with something else. Something quick, something easy, something that worked just as well… I came up with something that in fact worked better! My eco-friendly homemade toilet cleaner and this is how you make it:
