Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Baking soda
- 0.25 cup Liquid castile soap
- 2 tablespoons Distilled water
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 10 drops Essential oil (e.g., lemon, tea tree, or lavender)
- 1 tablespoon Fine sea salt (optional for extra scrubbing power)
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the baking soda and fine sea salt (if using). Stir well to mix them evenly.
Slowly add the liquid castile soap to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until the mixture forms a paste-like consistency.
Add the distilled water and white vinegar to the paste mixture. Stir carefully, as the vinegar may react slightly with the baking soda and cause some bubbling.
Mix in the essential oil of your choice to give your scrub a pleasant scent and additional antibacterial properties.
Transfer the mixture to an airtight container, such as a glass jar or reusable plastic tub. Store in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.
To use, apply a small amount of the scrub to the surface you wish to clean using a sponge or cloth. Gently scrub in a circular motion, then rinse with water and wipe dry. This cleaner is ideal for sinks, bathtubs, countertops, and other hard surfaces.
