Fizzy Bath, Toilet & Shower Bombs
🌱 A simple fizzing bomb for fragrance and bathroom freshness
These little fizzers aren’t really cleaners - they’re fragrance bombs.
When they hit water, they fizz and dissolve, releasing essential oils into the air. That fizzing action comes from a reaction between bicarbonate of soda (alkaline) and citric acid (acidic). The reaction is fun, fast, and temporary - and its main purpose is scent, not scrubbing.
They’re easy to make, nice to have on hand, and a simple way to freshen bathrooms without synthetic fragrance sprays.
What these fizzers are
These fizzers are designed to:
- Release fragrance into steam or water
- Freshen bathrooms and toilets
- Create a pleasant sensory experience
They are not designed to:
- Scrub surfaces
- Remove stains or build-up
- Disinfect
Think of them as a scent tool, not a cleaner.
Where they work best
You can use the same base recipe for different purposes.
In the shower
Place one on the shower floor, away from direct water spray. As it slowly fizzes, steam carries the essential oils into the air - similar to a shower steamer.
In the toilet
Drop one into the bowl for a quick refresh between proper cleans. It fizzes, releases scent, and dissolves away.
In the bath
Use as a light bath fizzer for fragrance and atmosphere. These aren’t moisturising bath bombs - they’re simple fizzers.
Why bicarb and citric acid fizz
When bicarb (alkaline) meets citric acid (acidic) in water, they react and release carbon dioxide gas. That’s what creates the fizz.
Once the reaction finishes, what’s left behind is essentially salty water - which is why these don’t clean anything. The value is in the fragrance release, not the residue.
