just add some more baking soda and salt until the consistency is right.

couple of minutes and then scrub toilet bowl.
Room Freshener
Fill a spray bottle with 10-20 drops of essential oils, depending on the size of the bottle. Use to

**It is recommended that you use glass spray bottles or containers when using essential oils. It is
especially important if you are using citrus oil, as it may eat through a plastic container.
**If you get an oil in your eye, do not try to wash it out with water. Use a carrier oil to clear it out of
your eyes.
