This is another one of those "make at home" type things that I discovered somewhere on the web and actually used. I'm able to give you some actual, real feedback on its effectiveness and savings.
Just last week, I tried out some homemade toilet bowl cleaner. And surprisingly, it exercised quite well. I discovered the benefits to become many, the user-friendliness of it to be wonderful, and the savings appear to be there too also.
This is exactly what I found. The list of ingredients for my homemade toilet bowl cleaner demand:
1 � cups of white vinegar
1 cup of sodium bicarbonate
� cup of salt
5-10 drops of acrylic
Basically, you pour all things in, mix it up just a little with your toilet bowl brush, after which let it take Twenty minutes. Then, return, scrub down the bowl and flush. It's that easy.
Before I recieve in to the cost introduction to this, let me tell you something. The "amounts" on this recipe simply seemed to be way too much to for just one cleaning of the toilet bowl (except if, you have an extremely large or extremely dirty toilet bowl). Therefore, I eyeballed it virtually, however i basically cut the amounts about this recipe in half.
Oh, and the essential oil thing really only seems to be for fragrance purposes. It says it serves an antibacterial purpose, however i would imagine that you can eliminate this as well and still have the same effect.
So, based on my calculations, while using 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, when it comes to dollars saved, is this will make a million dollars during the period of annually? Absolutely not. However, below, I listed out all of the benefits that I discovered throughout the utilization of this homemade stuff.
--Ease of use. Instead of other homemade recipes that you have to combine up, with this particular one, you're just pouring the ingredients into your bowl, there is really no preparation time to allow it to be or storage from it. This was a big plus to me.
--Also, now, rather than polluting the environment by having an empty toilet bowl cleaner container every month or so, you'll now simply be throwing out the large gallon jug of white vinegar about once every 3 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 ingredients are all natural, so 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's many other benefits to be reaped.
