DIY Soft Scrub Recipe Using Just 3 Ingredients

Choosing green cleaners doesn’t have to be hard or expensive. Check out this DIY soft scrub recipe that uses just 3 ingredients and can be used all over your house!

I don’t know about you, but in my house, the sign of a good bath time is a nice ring around the tub that shows my kids are squeaky clean after a big day of play.

Combine your cleaner concentrate, baking soda, essential oils, and water in a glass bowl and stir until it’s the right consistency. Transfer the finished scrub into the container of your choice. I like

Squirt a small amount onto a damp scrub brush or cloth and scrub surface until clean. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. You can store any remaining cleaner for several months.

How about a before and after? My tub was extra grimy this week after soaking in black tea (a new sunburn tip I’d learned). A little soft scrub and some elbow grease went a long way!

I used to think that cleaning with natural cleaners had to be hard or expensive. Over the years, I’ve found many ways to clean my home naturally without the use of toxic chemicals or heavy fumes.
