It’s wash day at my house (pretty much everyday!) and I’m sharing my go-to bathroom cleaning scrub. This homemade soft scrub is similar to its namesake and works just as good, if not better. Plus, it’s completely natural. The baking soda + Epsom salt act as an abrasive that cleans, cuts grease and grime buildup, mildly bleaches, removes stains, disinfects, and sanitizes. The lemon and tea tree essential oils and hydrogen peroxide act similarly to sanitize and oxidize. This recipe takes less than five minutes to measure, pour, and stir and, it’s all you need to clean the shower, porcelain tub and sink, and the outside of the toilet. And, just like all the other recipes I share, you can make it safely right at the kitchen sink. Enjoy!

Washing dishes should be as simple as washing hands, all you need is soap and water. What you don’t need is a mixture of surfactants to get clean dishes. I find that by adding vinegar you’ll elevate the soap to cut grease better. Even still, adding lavender essential oil will increase the germ and bacteria eliminating effectiveness and it smells good. All the ingredients in this recipe are safe to go down the drain and into our waterways. The end result is gentle on the hands and can be used to wash them. Note: Be mindful of your cleaning routine so as not to use too much water. Hope you enjoy!

If they don't carry it, simply ask them to order it for you! To get you started, I've included eight of my favorite cleaning recipes that you can easily prepare right at the kitchen sink.
