My mother-in-law gave me her DIY scrub for tub and sink cleaning, and I love it. With a simple four ingredients, you can create a refreshing scrub for the sink and the bathtub. I know sinks and tubs come in a variety of materials. I don't find this scrub to be that abrasive, but use your own judgement depending on what you have.
DIY Scrub for Tub and Sink Cleaning
Ingredients:
- 1 cup baking soda
- 1/4 cup salt
- 10 drops orange essential oil
- 5 drops lavender essential oil
Instructions:
- Combine all ingredients and mix well.
- Store in air tight labeled glass containers. A mason jar is a great choice. I labeled mine using my Cricut and sticker paper. The scrub keeps well.
- To use, simply sprinkle a small amount of the DIY scrub into your tub or sink.
- Use a wet washcloth or sponge to scrub.
- Rinse well.
There you have it. It's so easy and does the job. My sinks are left shiny and smelling great. The essential oils leave a fresh, clean smell that lingers. It's a definite improvement over smelling toxic chemicals.
Just in time for Spring cleaning, I am happy that my mother-in-law shared this with me. It's such an easy DIY scrub that does the job well. I also feel safer using it in case a little bit spills, or one of the dogs jumps in the bathtub and licks it (yes, this has happened). Since the ingredients are all items you could bake with, I don't have to panic if some sprinkles spill.
To be perfectly honest, a lot of recipes I make once for the sake of the blog post. This one, I make over and over again. Every time I run out of tub and sink scrub, I make more. It's that good. I use it in all of my tubs and all of my sinks.
Have you used a DIY scrub? What do you do to keep your sink and bathtub clean?
