This homemade soft scrub with baking soda is really nice to have on hand just in case I find the bathroom counters and sinks extremely dirty before a quest comes over.

How & Where To Use The Soft Scrub Cleaner

Just shake it up each time you go to use it to make sure everything is combined well.

Kitchen & Bath Sinks: Use this soft scrub cleaner with essential oils any place that needs a good deep cleaning. This scouring liquid is good at getting deep ground-in dirt and grime.

Just rinse with water to make sure all of the cleaner has been removed when you are done.

And since it’s an all-natural cleaner, there will be no worries about it going down your drains.

Glass Cooktops & Microwaves: This homemade soft scrub with baking soda is gentle enough to clean your cooktops without scratching. Make sure to use a non-scratch sponge when cleaning your glass cooktops. Rinse your sponge with clear water to get the residue off.

Once you are done, let it dry. You may see a haze left by the cleaner. Simply take a dry towel and wipe down the surface to remove it.

Tubs & Showers: You can use this DIY soft scrub cleaner in your showers and tubs too! It’s great at getting that grime leftover from soap and hair care. Rinse with water after you are done.
