Notes

If your jar does not have an airtight seal, your molds may melt together
To use, simply drop it in the toilet. After it has fizzled completely, scrub it with a toilet brush to remove some nasty stains and residues
If your toilet bombs lose their scent, refresh the essential oils. Essential oils are volatile and evaporate quickly.
