She wrote: “Here is how to make my self-cleaning toilet bomb.”
Carolina advised how you mix together a cup of baking soda, a quarter of a cup of citric acid, essential oils of your choice and a little water.
She said you should mix together in a glass bowl until it has a consistency like “damp sand.”
She continued: “Then, just pack the mixture into a silicone mould.”

Next, you need to let them dry so they come out like ice cubes.
She advised: “They smell so good and all you need to do is drop them into the toilet bowl for a fizzy clean.”
Her video has been viewed thousands of times, with many saying they were keen for their bathroom to smell like a spa.
