Make your Own Eco-Friendly Soft Scrub Cleaner

Join The Smart Mama as she shows you how to make a non-toxic, non-abrasive, eco-friendly soft scrub for use on countertops, sinks, bathtubs and shower stalls.

Recipe:

• mix 1/2 cup of baking soda
• 1/8 cup of castile soap (Dr. Bronner's is recommended)
• 1 teaspoon of vegetable glycerin
  
• for scent add 10 drops of essential oil, such as lavender or rose (optional)

Notes: Make only as much as you will use in one cleaning session, because it dries out quickly. Unscented castile soap is recommended if you choose to add your own essential oils.
