This is a different one of these "make at home" type things that I found 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 discovered the benefits to be many, the user-friendliness of it to be wonderful, and the savings appear to be there too also.
This is exactly what I discovered. The list of ingredients in my homemade toilet bowl cleaner demand:
1 � cups of white vinegar
1 cup of baking soda
� cup of salt
5-10 drops of acrylic
Basically, you pour everything in, mix things up a little together with your toilet bowl brush, after which let it sit for 20 minutes. Then, go back, scrub on the bowl and flush. It's that simple.
Before I get into the cost introduction to this, without a doubt something. The "amounts" about this recipe simply seemed to be a significant amount of to for one cleaning of the toilet bowl (except if, you possess an extremely large or extremely dirty toilet bowl). Therefore, I eyeballed it pretty much, however i basically cut the amounts about this recipe in two.
Oh, and also the essential oil thing really only appears to be for fragrance purposes. It says it serves an antibacterial purpose, but I would imagine that you could eliminate this too and still have exactly the same effect.
So, according to my calculations, using the homemade recipe would cost you about 24 cents per use. Utilizing a commercially made make of toilet bowl cleaner would cost about 63 cents. This calculates to approximately a 62% savings on your toilet bowl cleaning.
Now, in terms of dollars saved, is that this will make you a million dollars over the course of annually? Definitely not. However, below, I listed out all of the benefits that I came across during the utilization of this homemade stuff.
--Ease of use. As opposed to other homemade recipes that you actually have to combine up, with this particular one, you're just pouring the components to your bowl, so there is really no preparation time for you to make it or storage of it. It was a big plus to me.
--Also, now, instead of polluting the environment by having an empty toilet bowl cleaner container each month or so, you will now simply be throwing away the big gallon jug of white vinegar about once every 3 months. An advantage for that environment.
--Third, many of the commercial toilet bowl cleaners (particularly the blue ones) can do harm to your toilet plumbing and pipes. Obviously, these components are natural, so that you can eliminate that issue as well.
--And finally, the savings involved. Again, I will not 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, but when you add everything up, it has many other good things about be reaped.
