“LIFE IS LIKE A ROLL OF TOILET PAPER. THE CLOSER YOU GET TO THE END, THE FASTER IT GOES”!
The trick to home made cleaners is to keep things simple and not over complicte the process.
There are a whole host of recipes, tips and hints for cleaning everything from the toilet to the kitchen sink, however many of them are expensive, complicated, time consuming and ineffective.
As the owner of a boutique, chemical free cleaning company, where all of our products are made in house, it is essential that the formulas and solutions, are all quick, simple, cost effective and highly functional.
It is important to remember that Just because a natural cleaning product uses multiple ingredients it does not render it superior to a basic counterpart.
So lets begin by simplifying things in our cleaning routine and getting “back to good old fashioned basic” because we and our environment are worth it.
All of the recipes and tips on my site are used daily by the Natures Army team, in our clients homes and our own homes, so you can rest assured that they are all 100% safe, natural, inexpensive, simplistic, and of course not forgetting, they smell amazing!
I met a lovely lady today while I was waiting for my afternoon adrenalin fix of coffee, and whilst her home is cleaned throughout with vinegar, she was curious as to ways of keeping the toilet smelling fresh and disinfected without the use of the dreaded toilet duck!
So this is for you Kimba.

BATHROOM & TOILET CLEANER & SANITISER
An effective recipe that packs a powerful punch: the antifungal properties of the rosemary and the antiseptic and antibacterial properties of the tea tree oil render this solution extremely successful at killing germs and bacteria from any surface with ease. It also smells wonderful too. Leaving behind a freshly sanatised loo, with not one nasty toxic chemical in site.
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup white vinegar
5 drops rosemary oil
5 drops tea tree oil
4 teaspoons baking soda
1 drop liquid Castile soap
METHOD
Pour white vinegar into a bowl, add baking soda, liquid Castile soap, rosemary and tea tree oil. Stir and filter into a glass spray bottle.
Remember this recipe will effervesce when the baking soda makes contact with the vinegar.
TO USE
Shake the bottle well before use, then simply spray the cleaner on the toilet handle, lid, inside and outside the toilet bowl, not forgeting to get under the rim where all the germs accumulate. Leave the solution to work its magic for a few minutes before scrubbing with a toilet brush and drying the handle and lid etc. with a clean dry cloth.
Finish by adding a few drops of tea tree, rosemary, eucalyptus or peppermint essential oil to the bowl and leave for an ultra-fresh, fragrant aroma. Voila!
