Transitioning from Theory to Practice

Let's put those ingredients to use! We’ll start with a versatile and powerful DIY cleaning recipe that you can easily make at home.

DIY Green Cleaning Recipe: Sink and Tub Scrub

This effective scrub is not only easy to make but also packs a punch in cleaning power, inspired by our Natural Living Course:

Ingredients

1 cup (224 g) Baking Soda - Cleans and deodorizes naturally.
5 Tbsp (60 ml) Castile Soap - Cuts through grease and grime.
1 tsp (3 g) Cornstarch - Stabilizes the mixture.

Essential Oils:

15 drops Lemon Oil (Citrus limon)
15 drops Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca alternifolia)
10 drops Eucalyptus Oil (Eucalyptus globulus)

Directions

Mix all ingredients in a jar until smooth.
Use a sponge or scrubby to apply the mixture effectively on sinks and tubs.

Pro Tip: Always use a spoon or similar tool to scoop out your scrub—avoid letting water touch the product. Introducing water can significantly reduce its shelf life. Keep your scrub fresh and effective by keeping it dry!

I like to pair this scrub for my sink and shower with a spray for countertops, handles and other surfaces such as the Tea Tree, Fir & Mint Cleaning Spray found below.
