This DIY Soft Scrub Cleanser can be used in place of your toxic ‘cream cleanser’ to clean your bathroom surfaces, kitchen sink, fridge, or tile floors.
Make in small batches and store in an airtight container. This is enough for two to four applications. This soft scrub is excellent for getting rid of soap scum, removing stains, and brightening your tile and toilet. To use, just apply and let it sit for 5–10 minutes and then scrub. Once done scrubbing, take a wet cloth and wipe clean.
