The point, however, is that it is by no means mandatory, so to speak, to use these products, which not only cost money, but too often pollute the environment, are potentially harmful and leave containers that need to be disposed of.
Bicarbonate: versatile and versatile
If you want to tackle the problem of cleaning the bathroom in an ecological way, the solution we propose below is the homemade preparation of tablets based on baking soda: they are effective, disinfect in depth and do not require the use of chemical substances. Baking soda is a powerful disinfectant, does not harm health and is environmentally friendly. In short, we can have it as a precious ally when it comes to cleaning the house.
Homemade baking soda tablets: the “recipe”
To prepare these DIY tablets you will need: 240 grams of baking soda, about fifty drops of an essential oil of your choice, 120 milliliters of lemon juice and a little water. You’ll also need some nonstick silicone molds, a spoon, a large enough container, and a spray bottle.
Do it like this
Pour the lemon juice and baking soda into a bowl, then add the essential oil and mix well. If the solution is too thick, you can dilute it with two tablespoons of water. Once you’ve reached the right density, pour the mixture into the molds and let them “dry” for at least a full day. Once they’ve dried, your “tablets” (the actual shape will depend on the mold, of course) can be stored in a sealed container. However, you won’t be able to use them immediately: it’s a good idea to wait at least a couple of days before using them “in the field” or in the bathroom. As for the methods of use, they are the same as those of commercial tablets.
