Baking Soda Scrub
Recently, I’ve been on a big natural, healthy living kick
and one of the things I’ve discovered along the way, is the incredible – almost
miraculous – abilities of Baking Soda. There are tons of uses for Baking soda
around the home, but my favorite, by far, is a simple baking soda scrub.
There are two ingredients:
Baking Soda…. And Water.
I don’t really measure these out, usually I just fill a tiny Tupperware container
about ½ full with baking soda and slowly add small amounts of water, stirring
it in before adding more, until it is a thick, paste-like consistency.
I use this scrub for almost everything in my house. I clean
my microwave with it, I scrub my stove-top, and wash pots with stuck-on-gunk.
Once I scrubbed the scum off my shower doors – it worked for that, but it did
smear the doors quite a bit and required extra cleaning, so I wouldn't recommend it on GLASS. At least not glass you want to see out of. ;)
It is completely natural with zero harmful side effects or
fumes.
You can also make the same recipe and use it as a
exfoliating, moisturizing body scrub – it’s great!
I also use plain Baking Soda and sprinkle it on my carpets before vacuuming to deodorize and clean.
(Tip: You can buy a 13lb bag of baking soda at Costco!)
