Homemade Soft Scrub Cleaner
Homemade soft scrub cleaner is one of the quickest and easiest cleaners to mix together. It’s a simple combination of baking soda and dishwashing liquid. In fact, after you make it a few times, you might not even need to measure the ingredients anymore!
I like to use a clear dishwashing liquid for this recipe. The clear dishwashing liquid keeps this recipe a nice white paste which I prefer to a blue paste or a green paste if I use other dish soaps.
To make this homemade soft scrub you’ll need
- 1/3 cup baking soda
- 3 tablespoons of dish soap
Pour the baking soda into a small bowl. Mix in the dishwashing liquid a little bit at a time and stir to mix. You want to have a consistency that looks like cake frosting. You can always add a little more baking soda, or a little more soap, to arrive at the consistency that suits you. If you’re using an unscented dishwashing liquid, you can add a few drops of essential oil for fragrance too.
Store in a covered container. I keep mine in a small plastic container and it stays good for several months without drying out. My favorite places to use this homemade soft scrub are my kitchen sink and my glass stove top. It works great for both those cleaning jobs, and I’m sure you’ll find plenty of places where this scrub will work great for you too!

So glad that worked for you Michele! I have only been using this mixture to clean my stove for several months now and have not had any problems. I do find that you need to wipe it off very thoroughly so that no cloudy residue remains, which really does not take that much effort at all.

I found this on pinterest and just tried it. A pot of potatoes boiled over on my smoothe surface stovetop. It worked great! Thank you!

I'm going to try to remember to save the next little plastic container of honey that I use up. I'm thinking that might be a nice one to use because it's see through. I used up a mustard container the other day and it didn't dawn on me to save it 🙂

you can use an old mustard or ketchup bottle as a squeeze container…
I have been wondering how to wipe/clean bathroom walls to clean any residual soap or splashes.
I have 2 Cats and won’t subject them to toxins!
I would appreciate any ideas!
Thank you,

Hi Bev! Thanks for following Feng Shui Savvy. I think some of your cleaning tips would be great for FSS.
I also started a Cleaning topic in my BlogFrog community. I think we're all looking for ways to save time and $$$!
