GIY Soft Scrub with Dr. Bronner’s

This GIY trick is the magic of chemistry right before your eyes!

Soft scrub is a great aid to clearing away soap scum, ring around the tub, mold, stubborn water spots on glass.  It’s a great way to shine up your kitchen sink.  You’ll probably find that you keep this bottle just as handy as your Dr. Bronner’s All Purpose Spray.

This soft scrub will remain blended in your cabinet, so you don’t need to remake it every day.  Unless of course, you use it up.  Which you will.  Because you’ll love it, too.

Here’s the recipe from the video all written out:

Ingredients

1 c. Dr. Bronner’s Pure-Castile Soap OR ¼ c. Dr. Bronner’s Sal Suds
3⅓ c. baking soda
1 c. water
¼ c. white vinegar

In a big bowl, combine the baking soda with the Pure-Castile Soap OR the Sal Suds.  Mix it with a fork until well blended and no lumps remain.  Add in the water and mix thoroughly again.  Add in the vinegar and keep stirring until no lumps remain.  (If you’re wondering about the vinegar with the soap, check out the video for an explanation!)  Pour the solution into an empty quart bottle, using a funnel.

To use this, squirt it over the surface and wipe with a damp microfiber cloth.  Rinse with a wet cloth.

(And remember: since these ingredients are totally safe and non-toxic, kids can use them, too!  Hand this bottle over to them and let them scrub away!)
