This is another one of those "make at home" type things that I discovered somewhere on the web and actually used. I can provide you with some actual, real feedback on its usefulness and savings.
Just a week ago, I attempted out some homemade toilet bowl cleaner. And surprisingly, it worked out quite well. I found the advantages to be many, the user-friendliness from it to be wonderful, and also the savings seem to be there as well also.
This is what I discovered. Their email list of ingredients in my homemade toilet bowl cleaner demand:
1 � glasses of white wine vinegar
1 cup of sodium bicarbonate
� cup of salt
5-10 drops of acrylic
Basically, you pour all things in, mix it up a little together with your toilet bowl brush, after which let it take 20 minutes. Then, return, scrub down the bowl and flush. It's that easy.
Before I get in to the cost introduction to this, without a doubt something. The "amounts" on this recipe simply seemed to be way too much to for one cleaning of the toilet bowl (except if, you have an extremely large or extremely dirty toilet bowl). Therefore, I eyeballed it pretty much, however i basically cut the amounts on this recipe in two.
Oh, and the essential oil thing really only seems to be for fragrance purposes. It says it serves an antibacterial purpose, however i would suppose you could eliminate this as well and have the same effect.
So, according to my calculations, using the homemade recipe would cost you about 24 cents per use. Using a commercially made brand of toilet bowl cleaner would cost about 63 cents. This calculates to approximately a 62% savings in your toilet bowl cleaning.
Now, when it comes to dollars saved, is that this will make a million dollars during the period of annually? Definitely not. However, below, I listed out all the benefits which i came across throughout the use of this homemade stuff.
--Ease useful. As opposed to other homemade recipes that you actually have to mix up, with this particular one, you're just pouring the components into your bowl, there is actually no preparation time for you to make it or storage of it. This was a large plus to me.
--Also, now, instead of polluting environmental surroundings by having an empty toilet bowl cleaner container every month approximately, you will now only be throwing away the big gallon jug of white vinegar about once every three months. A benefit for that environment.
--Third, many of the commercial toilet bowl cleaners (especially the blue ones) can do harm to your toilet plumbing and pipes. Obviously, these components are natural, so that you can eliminate that issue too.
--And finally, the savings involved. Again, I will not break the bank with this particular savings idea, but every penny helps.
Overall, I'd give this recipe an A+. I believe the savings are minimal, however when you add everything up, it's many other benefits to be reaped.
