How can I make a natural toilet bowl cleaner?

Hi Erin,

I'm Linda and I found many articles from Hometalk members about using vinegar and baking soda - which is what I use. I wasn't sure about the septic system, but a question was asked about that and here's the answer. The link is below. Wishing you the best.

Can you use this if you have a septic tank?

• I do. Salt and heavy chemicals kill the bacteria that a septic tank needs to break down the material in them, but I've never had trouble using baking soda and vinegar (and flushing down septo-bac regularly). I use only vinegar for all bathroom cleaning. The only difficulty I have is that it reacts to the chrome fixtures, and I haven't figured out how to get around that yet.

I use cleaning vinegar to clean my toilet, sink and shower. It does a great job and on occasion I will add a couple drops of Blue Dawn for extra umpf and cleaning vinegar can be purchased at the dollar store.

Hi Erin, hope this helps

I soak vinegar in the bowl before cleaning (like all night if necessary for hard water ring) and baking soda. Also, another good cleaner to use is Simple Green. It is non toxic and deodorizes.
