Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup baking soda
- ⅓ cup citric acid
- 1 tablespoon hydrogen peroxide
- 30 drops essential oil eucalyptus, peppermint, lemon or lavender
Instructions
- Mix baking soda and citric acid together in a bowl. Slowly drizzle in hydrogen peroxide, mixing as you go. Slowly add the essential oil, mixing constantly. The mixture will bubble and fizz a little bit but that is OK. Another option is to put the wet ingredients into a spray bottle and slowly spray the liquid onto the dry ingredients, while mixing.
- Press the mixture into silicone molds. Make sure the mixture is packed into the molds tightly. Let the molds dry for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Push bath bombs out of the molds. Store in a sealed container. Keep away from young children who may think they are edible.
- Toss 1 or 2 toilet fizzies into the toilet bowl after flushing. Let them dissolve on their own – there’s no need to flush again until the next time the toilet is used.
Notes
After some feedback from users, I have included a range for the amount of liquid in this recipe - both for the hydrogen peroxide and for the essential oils. If you have a humid environment in your home, you may need to stick with the lower amount of liquid. In dry environments, the higher amount of of liquid will be best.
