A busy mum has revealed how to make fizzy toilet bombs to make cleaning easy
She carefully adds the powders together in a bowl before dropping in her favourite oil, explaining it doesn't really matter which scent you go for as it is simply down to personal preference.
She then adds water, very slowly until the mix starts to look and feel 'like damp sand'.
The mum-of-two then packs the mix into silicon moulds where she allows them to dry at room temperature.

Once the bombs were ready she put them to use - dropping one directly into the toilet bowl.
