7 Best Safe & Effective Non-Toxic Toilet Bowl Cleaners

If you’re on the lookout for a good, non-toxic toilet bowl cleaner, here are seven best brands and options that truly clean well all while being safe for your health.

Toilets and bathroom are some of the most grimy places in your home, so of course you want to have effective, heavy duty products that give you a deep clean.

But, the majority of toilet bowl cleaners found in supermarkets and drugstores are literally chemical concoctions made from some pretty harsh cleaners, disinfectants, and other nasty ingredients – that really aren’t so great for your health.

For example, take your current toilet bowl cleaner. Are you thinking of it? When you clean with it does it make your bathroom smell all intense and “bleachy”. This is exactly what I mean.

Some of those harsh chemicals release fumes that really aren’t good for us to be breathing them in (or seep into the walls of your home).

Some harmful ingredients you want to steer clear of in your toilet bowl cleaner are:

• chlorine bleach
• amonnia
• phthalates
• formaldehyde
• quarternary ammonium compounds
• triclosan
• sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) & sodium laureth sulfate (SLES)
• artificial dyes and synthetic fragrances

And so on….

The great news? There are several amazing non-toxic toilet bowl cleaners on the market (that clean just as well, minus the negative health risks).

Best Non-Toxic Toilet Bowl Cleaners

I’ve done the research and testing so you don’t have to! These are the best non-toxic toilet bowl cleaners on the market right now.

1. Truly Free Toilet Bowl Cleaner

I love Truly Free! I order most of my non-toxic cleaning products from them and they just came out this new toilet bowl cleaner. It’s a great foaming product that really cleans grime, stains and bacteria.

I also love it’s natural scent – just natural peppermint essential oil. No nasty synthetic fragrances! It’s super easy to use: you fill up the bottle with water and add the cleaning powder, shake to mix and spray!

2. Rosey Toilet Bowl Cleaner

Rosey is a Thrive Market non-toxic cleaning brand, but it’s awesome! This toilet bowl cleaner is made with natural, toxin-free ingredients and free from any harmful chemicals.

It comes in a traditional and convenient nozzle-bottle so it’s super easy to use. And the scent! It’s amazing – 100% natural, eucalyptus and tea tree essential oils. Which is awesome because not only does it leave your bathroom smelling like a aromatherapy room but the oils also have natural antibacterial properties.

3. Eco-Max Disinfecting Tea Tree Toilet Bowl Cleaner

Another great non-toxic cleaning brand. This toilet bowl cleaner is made with only five (!) natural ingredients, including natural lemongrass and tea tree essential oils for a fresh, clean scent.

No harmful chemicals, no head-ache producing synthetic fragrances. The tea tree and lemongrass oil double for extra natural antibacterial properties, so it’s a win win.

4. MamaSuds Toilet Cleaning Bombs

This toilet cleaner comes in these little cleaning tablets that you drop into your toilet, let fizz and scrub. They’re made with just three natural ingredients and have a lovely blend of organic peppermint, lemon and tea tree essential oils.

If you’re on the hunt for an easy, plastic-free “scrubbing bubbles” type of product, this is the best non-toxic option!

5. ECOS Toilet Bowl Cleaner

ECOS is a popular toxin-free cleaning brand – and this toilet bowl cleaner is a great pick. It’s made with a completely chemical-free formula and naturally scented with natural cedar wood essential oil.

It’s super powerful, great at cleaning, disinfecting and stain removal.

AND it’s leaping bunny certified and safer choice certified, so you know it’s safe to use in your home.

6. Sonett Organic Toilet Bowl Cleaner

Sonett is an eco-conscious cleaning company that makes non-toxic cleaning products that are free from all harmful ingredients.

This toilet bowl cleaner is made with mostly organic ingredients, scented with natural mint and myrtle essential oils. It works great on tough grime and hard water stains.

And it’s available on Amazon!

7. Nature’s Promise Toilet Bowl Cleaner

Nature’s Promise is a 100% plant-based non-toxic toilet bowl cleaner that is free from all harsh chemicals, VOCs, chlorine bleach, petroleum, and synthetic fragrances.

8. Branch Basics Concentrate + Oxygen Boost

This option doesn’t come in your typical nozzle-bottle but it’s (in my opinion) one of the best all-purpose non-toxic cleaning options.

All you need to do is drizzle a couple drops (it’s very concentrated!) of the concentrate on the inside of the bowl, sprinkle a small scoop of the oxygen boost powder on top. Scrub with a brush, let sit for 5-10 minutes and flush.

Branch Basics is the best non-toxic cleaning option for anyone sensitive to essential oils because it’s 100% scent-free, toxin-free and hypoallergenic.

Other DIY Natural Toilet Bowel Cleaners

P.S you can also make your own natural cleaner recipes to clean your toilet!

Especially if you’re sensitive to essential oils or just want to make your own inexpensive cleaner, here are a couple great recipes that clean great too.

DIY Castille Soap Toilet Bowl Cleaner

If you want a natural liquid cleaner recipe, try this toilet bowl cleaner with castille soap. I use always have at least one bottle made up at home – it’s super easy to make, inexpensive and 100% toxin-free!

Tip: reuse an old dish soap bottle for easy application!

Baking Soda + Vinegar

A classic, cheap natural cleaning duo. Sprinkle baking soda along the edges of the toilet bowl, drizzle or spray vinegar over it, let it fizz and scrub!

Hydrogen Peroxide + Vinegar

For a deeper clean use one cup each of each ingredient and pour directly into the toilet bowl, scrub with a brush and let it sit for 10-15 minutes before flushing.

These ingredients are good for disinfecting and breaking down stains, mineral deposits and limescale.
