Baking Soda Scrub

Cleaning the bathtub can be a tough job. In the past, I would have to use harsh chemicals to break through that impenetrable layer of grime that resided on the surface of the tub. However, when I decided to make my own natural cleaners, I discovered an easy solution for making that tub sparkle.

The best part is, the ingredients couldn't be more simple and they didn't include harsh chemicals. Plus, this scrub can be used for almost any surface that needs a deep cleaning to remove layers of dirt and grime.

I love, love, love this cleaner. 

Baking Soda Scrub

2 tbsp baking soda
liquid castile soap
spray bottle of vinegar

1. Put baking soda in bowl and mix in liquid soap a bit at a time until it forms a nice foamy paste.

2. Work it onto the surface you want to clean using a rash or a sponge. Let it set 5 to 15 minutes depending on how heavy duty of a job it is. (I usually move on to cleaning another part of the bathroom while it sits.)

3. Spray with vinegar and scrub away.

4. Rinse away with water.

You might need to do this a couple times to get rid of residue left from previous cleaners. Note: Baking soda is a mild abrasive, so do a small test on surfaces that could potentially be damaged such as stainless steel appliances.
