Make Your Own Eco-Friendly Abrasive Scouring Scrub for Cleaning
Like I have said before, commercial cleaning products are expensive, come in wasteful packaging and are loaded with unnecessary, harsh chemicals that are bad for you, your family, your animals and the environment.
Of course, we all want a clean house, but we don’t have to buy into the hype that we must have the latest “breakthrough” in cleaning products in order to make our home safe and clean. Old-fashioned cleaning products are often the best bet and certainly less expensive. Plus, they clean just as well – if not better – than the brands you see advertised on television.
For example, some big name brands try to convince us that we need their particular brand of abrasive scouring scrub or we will never have a clean shower, bath tub or sink. But, in reality, you can have a sparkling clean bathroom or kitchen without the unnecessary packaging and chemicals, and for pennies instead of dollars.
You can make all natural, eco-friendly abrasive scouring cleaner that will scrub your tub just as well as commercial brands from stuff you probably already have in your pantry.
Simply take one cup distilled white vinegar and mix in ½ cup of baking soda for a great abrasive scrub for your bathroom and kitchen. After scrubbing your surfaces with this mixture, wipe with a vinegar-soaked rag and then with a wet cloth.
This simple mix will save you money, clean your bathroom and kitchen naturally and limit your impact on the environment.
