Course: DIY Household Cleaners, Make Your Own
Cuisine: Housekeeping
Servings: 6 ounces
Author: Mary Hunt
Cost: Around $1

Equipment

  • 2-oz spray bottles, or similar

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp vegetable glycerin SEE NOTES
  • 2 tbsp isopropyl (rubbing) 70% alcohol
  • 40 drops any essential oil Lavender is especially nice
  • 1/2 cup water 4 oz.

Instructions

  • Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Using a small funnel pour into three 2 oz. spray bottles. Recipe multiplies well.

To Use:

  • Shake well right before use. Spritz a few times to lightly mist the surface of the toilet bowl water. Proceed.

Notes

  1. The difference between glycerin and vegetable glycerin is that glycerin can be plant-based or animal-based, whereas vegetable glycerin is always plant-based. The two terms are often used interchangeably, and glycerin is usually plant-based in the modern era.
  2. Provided you do not substitute the vegetable glycerin, this PooPourri Toilet Spray (recipe as written) is safe for use with septic tanks.
