This is another one of these "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 exercised very well. I found the advantages to become many, the user-friendliness of 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 for my homemade toilet bowl cleaner call for:
1 � glasses of white wine vinegar
1 cup of baking soda
� cup of salt
5-10 drops of acrylic
Basically, you pour everything in, mix things up a little with your toilet bowl brush, after which let it sit for Twenty minutes. Then, return, scrub down the bowl and flush. It's that easy.
Before I get into the cost introduction to this, without a doubt something. The "amounts" on this recipe simply appeared to be way too much to for just one cleaning of your toilet bowl (unless of course, you have an extremely large or extremely dirty toilet bowl). Therefore, I eyeballed it pretty much, but I basically cut the amounts on this recipe in half.
Oh, and the acrylic thing really only seems to be for fragrance purposes. It says it serves an antibacterial purpose, but I would suppose you can eliminate this too and have exactly the same effect.
So, according to my calculations, while using homemade recipe would set you back 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 going to make you a million dollars during the period of a year? Absolutely not. However, below, I listed out all of the benefits which i came across throughout the utilization of this homemade stuff.
--Ease useful. As opposed to other homemade recipes that you have to mix up, with this one, you're just pouring the ingredients to your bowl, so there is really no preparation time to allow it to be or storage of it. It was a big plus to me.
--Also, now, rather than polluting environmental surroundings by having an empty toilet bowl cleaner container every month or so, you will now simply be throwing away the big gallon jug of white vinegar about once every three months. An advantage for that environment.
--Third, a lot of the commercial toilet bowl cleaners (especially the blue ones) can perform injury to your toilet plumbing and pipes. Obviously, these components are natural, so you can eliminate that issue as well.
--And finally, the savings involved. Again, I won't break your budget 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 has many other good things about be reaped.
