### 🛠️ How to Prepare and Use It:
1. **Mix your solution:** In a small bottle, combine 1 cup of vinegar with 10–15 drops of your chosen essential oil. Shake gently.
2. **Add baking soda (optional):** For an extra fizzing, deodorizing effect, add 1 tablespoon of baking soda. (Note: If using a sealed bottle, leave room for pressure buildup.)
3. **Apply to toilet bowl:** After flushing, squirt or spray **a few drops** of the mixture around the rim of the bowl and let it slowly drip down the sides.
4. **No need to scrub:** The solution will naturally clean and deodorize the bowl as it sits and as you flush throughout the day.
5. **Repeat 2–3 times a week** for best results — or every other day if your toilet gets heavy use.
