Ingredients

• 1 cup baking soda (for cleaning I use the cheap stuff)
• 1/2 cup grated bar soap (I use this homemade cleaning bar, or this is a good store-bought option)
• 15-20 drops essential oil(s) of your choice (find 100% pure essential oils here)
• food processor (find a good one here)
• 1 regular-mouth pint jar (find them here)
• shaker top from old grated cheese bottle, or metal mason jar lid with holes punched in top

Preparation

Step 1

1. Grate bar of soap until you have about ½ cup.

2. Combine grated soap, baking soda, and essential oil(s) of your choice in a food processor. (For this cleaner I like to use lemon, lavender, tea tree/mint, eucalyptus/lemongrass, which all have antibacterial properties.) Blend in food processor until grated soap is broken up and mixture looks like a fine powder.

3. Transfer to glass jar and screw on lid. Label your jar and get cleaning! (That was faster than driving to the store to buy more Comet!)

Sprinkle on surfaces to be cleaned. Using a wet sponge, work this cleanser into surfaces to create a sudsy soft scrub. Rinse well with water when surface is clean.
