Several years ago we focused on being provident for a year. This year, I'm making drastic lifestyle changes and learning so much. This blog just seemed like the perfect place to come back to and record some of these experiences.

Homemade Toilet Bowl Cleaner


I found this recipe online and I love it. To clean your toilet bowl, pour in 1/4 cup of baking soda and then drizzle vinegar on top. Let it sit for 30 minutes and then clean with a toilet brush.

For stains in the bowl, add about 3 or 4 Tbsp. of Borax just before you use the toilet brush. My upstairs toilet gets stains because it's the "kid's bathroom" and they tend not to flush as often as they should. I felt like the stains came right off into the water when I added the Borax.

The other reason I love this recipe (yes, it's environmentally friendly but that's not it) is because my kids feel like they're doing some sort of fun science experiment watching the water bubble and foam when they add the vinegar and then again when they add the Borax. They think it's awesome and it helps make cleaning fun!

Let me know if you try it and like it.
