Natural Soft Scrub that you can make.
Posted December 29, 2009 – 12:29 pm in: Green Cleaning TipsThis creamy-like-frosting soft scrubber is the best solution for cleaning the bathtubs and the kitchen sinks without synthetic fragrances and toxic chemicals. It also works well for Formica countertops and shower stalls. Tested by a local company Cape Cod Green House Cleaning, the soft, abrasive quality of the baking soda provides the grit to scrub off dirt and soap scum, yet the mixture rinses off very easily.
Basic Soft Scrubber Formula
1/2 cup baking soda
Enough liquid soap or detergent to make a frosting-like
consistency. Most health food stores
offer all-purpose liquid detergents and soaps. These are the
best choices because they include no synthetic perfumes and
dyes, and tend to be the most concentrated. If you have soft water
and can use a liquid castile soap
in your soft scrubber, consider one in which peppermint has
been added, for extra antibacterial action.
5 drops antibacterial essential oil such as lavender,
tea tree oil, or rosemary (optional)
Pour the baking soda in a bowl; slowly pour in the liquid soap or detergent, stirring all the while, until the consistency reaches that of frosting. Scoop the creamy mixture onto a sponge, wash the surface, and rinse.
Note: Add 1 teaspoon of vegetable glycerin to the mixture and store in a sealed glass jar, to keep the product moist. Otherwise just make as much as you need at a time.
