Using Homemade Toilet Cleaner Gel

To use, shake the bottle to fully combine.

Add a good squirt, around ¼ cup of the mixture into the toilet bowl.

Give the bowl a good scrub with a toilet brush.

Let it sit for a few minutes, then clean as normal.

This mixture should last a couple of months when kept in a dry place, at room temperature out of direct sunlight.

Due to having water in it, it will not last any longer. To increase the shelf life, a preservative will need to be added.
