Mix this recipe in a large bowl and apply it with a clean rag to your oven surfaces, scrubbing in a circular motion. Once the oven has been dry scoured, use a damp cloth to wipe the mixture away. Then do a final scrub of the surfaces with the damp cloth & remaining mixture. Then wipe away any mixture that is left.
Mix dry ingredients and then slowly add the 2 tsp of water & essential oils, while stirring the mixture quickly with a fork. You then pack it into your moulds and allow it to dry overnight. Store in a glass container with a lid or anywhere that is air-tight.
Plop one fizzie into the toilet bowl before cleaning with a toilet brush as usual. The citric acid & baking soda will help clean & break down hard water stains and the essential oils will add an extra boost of cleaning power, as well.
This recipe can be used for sinks, tubs & tile/grout. If extra cleaning power is needed for grout, undiluted Thieves Cleaner &/or lemon essential oil, used with a strong scrub brush is the way to go.
If you're tired of feeling like your lungs are burning or having to hold your breath while cleaning your bathroom using conventional cleaners, you will love this recipe because it smells great and is easy on your lungs!

This is a recipe that will help to deodorize your disposal, sharpen the blades & give it a nice deep clean.
Mix all ingredients together & pour into ice moulds to freeze. Make sure pieces of chopped lemon rinds are in each mould. After the liquid freezes, place 2 ice cubes in the disposal weekly & turn the disposal on.
The ice helps to sharpen the blades while the other ingredients help to disinfect & refreshen.
Once the entire sink is scoured, rinse with water & wipe dry with a dry cloth for shine.
Allow the sprinkled mixture to sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the odors and microbes to be eliminated. Vacuum the powder up when ready.
