You can use this scrub on countertops and the sink; it's also great for bathtubs and shower stalls.
We recommend to make only as much as you will use in one cleaning session, because it dries out quickly. Mix 1/2 cup of baking soda, 1/8 cup of castile soap and 1 teaspoon of vegetable glycerin. For scent add 10 drops of essential oil, such as lavender or rose (optional).

What is the glycerin for, and why didn’t you add it to the bottle in the demo?

So sorry about that, Michelena! I think I have fixed it. Thanks for letting me know.

Hi Laura, I’d love to see the handout from your workshop, but all I can find is a flyer for the workshop - no handout! Is there a different link?
Thanks,
Michelena

This is a different recipe than I know of. It sounds great though. I recently hosted a workshop on making your own household cleaners. The handout for that workshop is on my website, http://www.naturalindianamommas.ning.com.

This looks great, and very easy. Is this a “no rinse” formula? I’m wondering if there would be baking soda or soap residue left behind after just a wipe like in the video.
Thanks for the great tip!

The glycerin is added to keep the soft scrub from solidifying if you store it. If you are going to use it all up right after you make it there’s no need for the glycerin.
