### 👩‍🔬 How to Make Toilet Cleaning Bombs

#### 1. **Mix the Dry Ingredients**

In a large bowl, combine baking soda and citric acid. Stir well.

#### 2. **Add the Wet Ingredients**

Add dish soap and essential oils. Mix slowly — the citric acid will react if too wet.

#### 3. **Form the Bombs**

If the mixture is too dry to hold its shape, lightly mist with water using a spray bottle while stirring continuously. Stop as soon as it starts clumping like damp sand.

#### 4. **Press Into Molds**

Spoon the mixture into silicone molds or an ice cube tray. Press firmly.

#### 5. **Dry and Store**

Let the bombs dry for 4–6 hours or overnight. Once hard, pop them out and store in an airtight jar or container in a cool, dry place.

### 🚽 How to Use

Drop **one toilet bomb** directly into the bowl. Let it fizz and work its magic for 5–10 minutes. Then give the bowl a quick brush if needed and flush.

You’ll be left with a clean, fresh-smelling toilet — no harsh chemicals, no scrubbing marathon.

### 🧠 Extra Tips

* Use 2 bombs for extra dirty bowls or hard water buildup.
* For regular maintenance, drop in a bomb once every few days.
* Add vinegar to the bowl first if you want even more fizz and deep cleaning power.
