Toilet cleaning products are often packed with synthetic chemicals and come in plastic-heavy packaging that just adds to the waste pile. But keeping your toilet fresh and clean doesn’t require harsh ingredients—DIY toilet cleaner tabs are a simple, sustainable, and effective way to scrub without the toxins.
Why Make Your Own Toilet Cleaner Tabs?
Most conventional toilet cleaners contain bleach, synthetic fragrances, and foaming agents that aren’t just bad for indoor air quality but also wash straight into waterways. These DIY toilet tabs use natural, biodegradable ingredients that break down grime while keeping things safe for your home and the planet. Plus, they store easily, making cleaning as simple as dropping in a tab and letting it fizz!

How to Use & Store
