This really is another one of those "make at home" type stuff that I found somewhere on the internet and actually tried out. I'm able to 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 discovered the benefits to become many, the user-friendliness of it to be wonderful, and also the savings appear to be there too also.
This is what I found. The list of ingredients in my homemade toilet bowl cleaner call for:
1 � cups of white wine vinegar
1 cup of baking soda
� cup of salt
5-10 drops of essential oil
Basically, you pour all things in, mix it up just a little together with your toilet bowl brush, and then let it take Twenty minutes. Then, return, scrub down the bowl and flush. It's that easy.
Before I get in to the cost breakdown of this, without a doubt something. The "amounts" about this recipe simply seemed to be a significant amount of to for one cleaning of your toilet bowl (except if, you have an extremely large or extremely dirty toilet bowl). Therefore, I eyeballed it pretty much, but I basically cut the amounts about this recipe in half.
Oh, and the essential oil thing really only appears to be for fragrance purposes. It says it serves an antibacterial purpose, however i would imagine that you could eliminate this as well and still have exactly the same effect.
So, based on my calculations, while using homemade recipe would cost you about 24 cents per use. Using a commercially made make of toilet bowl cleaner would cost about 63 cents. This calculates to approximately a 62% savings in your toilet bowl cleaning.
Now, in terms of dollars saved, is that this will make you a million dollars during the period of a year? Absolutely not. However, below, I listed out all of the benefits which i discovered during the use of this homemade stuff.
--Ease useful. Instead of other homemade recipes that you have to mix up, with this one, you're just pouring the components to your bowl, there is really no preparation time for you to allow it to be or storage from it. It was a large plus in my experience.
--Also, now, instead of polluting the environment with an empty toilet bowl cleaner container every month approximately, you will now only be throwing out the large gallon jug of white wine vinegar about once every three months. An advantage for the 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 all 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 think the savings are minimal, but when you add everything up, it has many other benefits to be reaped.
