Clean your toilet without holding your breath.
PLOP. FIZZ. SCRUB. FLUSH. Naturally.
Cleaning your toilet should not mean breathing in harsh chemicals or pouring bleach down the drain. MamaSuds Toilet Bomb Cleaning Tabs give you a safer, smarter way to keep your bathroom fresh, made from scratch with simple, honest ingredients that work.
Each tab combines real sodium bicarbonate (not the synthetic kind) and non-GMO citric acid to tackle buildup and neutralize odors. When you drop one into the bowl, you get a natural fizzing reaction that helps break down grime while you scrub.
Infused with pure essential oils of tea tree, organic peppermint, and lemon, these tabs leave a light, clean scent, never fake or overpowering.
They are tough on dirt but gentle on your home, your health, and the planet. Our packaging is completely plastic-free, refillable, and compostable, because clean should never come at the expense of the environment.
Refill your tube, not the landfill.
Sometimes, in the small-batch process, a few tabs come out a little misshapen. Those are our Misfits. They might not look perfect, but they clean perfectly. Grab a Misfit Bag and enjoy the same powerful formula at a lower price while helping us reduce waste and honor every batch we make.

The Janka (or side) hardness test measures the force required to embed a .444 – inch steel wall to half its diameter in wood. It is one of the best measurements of the ability of a wood species to withstand denting and wear. By the same token, it is also a good indicator of how hard or easy a species is to saw or nail. Northern Red Oak, for example, has a Janka hardness rating of 1290. Brazilian Cherry, with a rating of 2350, is nearly twice as hard. If you’re accustomed to working with Red Oak and decide to tackle a job with Brazilian Cherry, you can expect it to be much harder to cut and nail.

(Ranked by percentage of tangential shrinkage from green to oven-dry moisture content)
The numbers in the chart reflect the dimensional change coefficient for the various species, measured as tangential shrinkage or swelling within normal moisture content limits of 6 – 14 percent. Tangential change values will normally reflect changes in plainsawn wood. Quartersawn wood will usually be more dimensionally stable than plainsawn.
The dimensional change coefficient can be used to calculate expected shrinkage or swelling. Simply multiply the change in moisture content by the change coefficient, than multiply by the width of the board.
Example: A mesquite (change coefficient – .00129) board 5 inches wide experiences a moisture content change from 6 to 9 percent – a change of 3 percentage points.
(Calculation: 3 x .00129 = .00387 x 5 = .019 inches).
In actual practice, however, change would be diminished in a complete floor, as the boards’ proximity to each other tends to restrain movement. The chart is best used for comparison.
* Although some tropical woods such as Australian Cypress, Brazilian Cherry, Merbau and Wenge appear in this chart to have excellent moisture stability compared to domestic oak, actual installations of many of these woods have demonstrated significant movement in use. To avoid problems later, extra care should be taken to inform potential users of these tendencies prior to purchase.
