Many thanks for these great cleanersAlexis. I’m wondering if the toilet bowl cleaner is meant to be made and used up for each clean as it contains water? Could you please clarify, TY.
The homemade toilet bowl cleaner is enough for many uses. You use about 1-2 tbsp or so per cleaning, so I can usually get about 10 treatments with it. This is give or take, you can use more or less depending on your needs. The water is an important cleaning ingredient has it helps bind ingredients to work properly
Hi. I love your site.
I’m sorry, but lemon essential oil is toxic to dogs and cats.
