In the shops of household chemicals presented a lot of ready-made air fresheners, the price of which is very affordable. But what good housewife will refuse to undertake their production independently, avoiding the use of chemicals hazardous to the body? Moreover, this process will take little time and money.
Consider how to make a freshener for the toilet with his own hands. The instruction describing the process is not much different from the recipe of making any culinary masterpiece, with the exception of the final result.
So:
- First you need to pour 20 g of gelatin with a glass of cold water so that it dissolves.
- At the same time, in another container, you must mix two tablespoons of salt and soda, and then add food coloring to the resulting mixture. In principle, it is not necessary to give color to an air freshener, but a finished unit, if it is painted in a bright color, in addition to a pleasant smell, will have an attractive appearance.
- After that, mix the resulting formulations and add vinegar (enough 3 tablespoons).
- The source of the smell will serve as a natural essential oil in the amount of 40 drops, which should also be poured into the workpiece of the future freshener.
- It remains only to fill the solution with a suitable mold and place in a refrigerator for solidification. After 6 hours, remove the finished block and cut into suitable pieces with a knife.
Tip! You can immediately pour the aromatic gelatin mixture into an ice container. So you do not have to cut the layer into pieces, and each block will turn out smooth and beautiful.
- You can install the air freshener in the toilet bowl using a container from a previously purchased magazine block. It is necessary to store spare pieces in the refrigerator, wrapping them in cling film or cellophane to prevent the weathering of essential oils.
The resulting homemade fresheners for the toilet bowl have many advantages that distinguish them favorably from the means of purchase:
- fill the air in the toilet with a pleasant scent;
- adsorb unpleasant odors formed after visiting the toilet;
- have antiseptic properties, destroy microorganisms dangerous for humans;

Disposable aromatic beads
The use of self-made gel blocks, of course, allows you to fill the restroom with a pleasant aroma. But they have one drawback: every time you need to decide how to get a freshener from the toilet. Despite the simplicity of this operation, it delivers little pleasure.
Avoid the problems described above will help homemade disposable soluble balls. Once in water, they enter into a chemical reaction with it and release substances that not only deodorize the air, but also disinfect the surface of the plumbing fixture.
Let us consider in more detail how to make such bombs for the toilet with your own hands:
- Option one. You need a glass of soda, half a glass of citric acid and aromatic oils that have persistent odors and antiseptic effect (lavender, mint, lemon, and so on).
The manufacturing process is simple, but care must be taken. Mix dry powders with each other, add aromatic oils, and then begin to gradually and very gently moisturize. It is better to do this with a spray bottle to more accurately dispense the amount of liquid.
As soon as the soda and lemon gum together, do not add water any more, but put the mass in ice molds, compact and leave to harden for 7-8 hours.
Note! While working, make sure that the grains do not get into the nose, mouth and eyes. If this happens, immediately flush the mucous membranes with plenty of water and seek medical attention.
It is easy to use a freshener. You just need to throw the bomb into the bowl of the toilet bowl or drain tank. Water will acquire a pleasant aroma, an unpleasant smell and microbes will disappear.
- Option two. Here, in addition to the components listed in the previous case, you will need half a teaspoon of vinegar and a tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide. Cooking is also not much different. In a mixture of soda and acid, it is necessary to add a solution of vinegar and hydrogen peroxide in a drop until the solid particles stick together with each other. In the end, it remains only to introduce flavors into the mixture and decompose the raw materials into forms for solidification.
- Option three. Soda and citric acid are needed in the same proportions, corn starch in the amount of 2 glasses and flavoring. As in the previous cases, you need to mix everything, and then gently moisten until you can hold the composition together. After freezing the bombs can be used.
Tip! If you store cooked pops in an open jar in the toilet, then they, among other things, will aromatize the air.
