One of the easiest things I have done in the mission to detox my home is switch to better, and often homemade, cleaners. This easy and very inexpensive homemade ‘Soft Scrub' recipe is one more tool in my toolbox that easily gets rid of greasy sink gunk and soap scum. I am LOVING it!
We have been detoxing our household cleaners for awhile now by making our own homemade cleaners with simple ingredients like vinegar, castile soap and essential oils. We make our own dishsoap, hand cleaning spray and hand soap, too!
I have since switched to using Thieves Household Cleaner for almost everything from countertops to floors to toilets because it is even easier than making my own!
Sometimes, I do need a bit of scrubbing power for tough jobs. Simply sprinkling baking soda and scrubbing can work nicely but I love the power of this homemade soft scrub recipe and it smells great with the addition of essential oils too!
All you need is baking soda, castile soap or Thieves cleaner, essential oils and water. Boom! You can pour into any squeezeable type container (even repurpose an empty dish soap bottle).
