Brightening bombs

These small, scented descaling shapes fizz up to freshen sinks, baths and toilets. Wearing rubber gloves, pour 300g bicarbonate of soda and 100g citric acid into a bowl. Carefully add 10ml of your chosen essential oils and stir with your hand to incorporate. The mix should hold together when squeezed – if it’s too dry, add a couple of sprays of distilled water. Push the mix into silicone moulds and allow to dry out. When ready, push the shapes out of the moulds and store in sealed, moisture-resistant jars. Add a decorative label – we printed out a ticker-tape label and mounted it onto pretty paper. Cover the label with clear, sticky-backed plastic and stick to the jar with adhesive.
