DIY Soft Scrub

I was pretty skeptical about this one, but I am so glad I tried it. This works great and I don't have to worry about bleach spots on my clothes when I just want to quickly clean the kitchen sink after dinner. It is also antibacterial and costs pennies to make.

Here is what you need:

• 3/4 cup baking soda (you can add a little more if it seems a little thin after it’s all mixed together.)

• 1/4 cup castile soap (Like Dr. Bronners)

• 1 Tablespoon water

• 10-15 drops of Melaleuca essential oil (I used lemon, but Melaleuca or theives would work great, too). Learn how to get essential oils at wholesale here.

• 1 Tablespoon vinegar

In a medium bowl combine the baking soda and castille soap. Add the water and essential oil and stir until combined.

Very slowly add the vinegar. It will fizz as it reacts to the vinegar. Stir until it is a paste like consistency adding a little more water or baking soda as needed.

Put into a squeeze bottle - I repurposed an empty dish soap bottle (pictured), but any squeeze bottle will work.

Let me know how this works for you!
