These little toilet bombs are easy to make with only a few ingredients and not much effort. Perfect for freshening up the bathroom.
When I saw this idea I had to try it. They are like bath fizzes for the toilet. Some say they are considered cleaning tablets, but I think of them more as a freshener for the toilet. Something you would add mid-week or maybe every three days when you just don't have time to thoroughly clean.

Toilet Bomb Supplies
- 2 cups Baking Soda
- 1/2 cup Citric Acid
- 2 teaspoons Essential Oils
- I used eucalyptus and lavender but you can use any you like
- Spray bottle with water
- Silicone molds
or ice cube trays
How to Make Toilet Bombs
- Combine baking soda and citric acid in a large bowl, mix well.
- Stir in essential oils.
- Spray water over the mixture and stir.
- Continue spraying water and stirring until you can grab some of the mixture and form a shape.
Press into ice cube trays or molds of your choice.
Let dry overnight and then pop them out of the molds.
How to Use Toilet Cleaner Bombs
- Depending on the size you make place one or two of the bombs in the toilet bowl.
- Let them sit and fizz up.
- Then flush.
The baking soda helps to absorb odor and the essential oils provide a nice scent.
This amount of toilet cleaner bomb filled two trays giving me 4 dozen cubes.
This is not a replacement for normal toilet bowl cleaning but does help with freshening the toilet.
NOTE: You may want to use old ice cube trays for this or leave out the essential oils. I noticed that my molds still smell like eucalyptus even after washing.
Place the toilet bombs in a pretty container and set it on the back of the toilet or somewhere in the bathroom for easy access.

Sheila, they are easy to make but not as powerful as chemical cleaners. Still, I think they've helped freshen our bathroom in a pinch.

Thank you for posting this DYI! I plan on making these bombs.

Melissa, they were so fun and easy to make. Not much as a cleaning agent but a little something to make the bathroom fresher.
