Herbal or citrus cleaning vinegar
This recipe, also in No Dig Organic Home and Garden, makes an effective toilet cleaner which works well with the toilet bombs.
Loosely fill a glass jar ¾ full with herbs (e.g. rosemary, lemon verbena, thyme, scented pelargonium) or citrus peels. Fill to the top with white vinegar (or cider vinegar), replace the lid and leave for two weeks.
Strain through a sieve into a clean labelled jar or bottle.
Use neat in the toilet bowl or mix 50/50 with water in a spray bottle for an effective toilet spray cleaner.
