Great Scrubbing Cleaner

This is a great scrubbing cleaner recipe that won't chew up your hands. I have a particular dislike for products that are rough on me or my belongings. Make sure you pick a bottle that quirts well.

Ingredients: Baking soda, a high-quality liquid soap, white distilled vinegar, water and a 16 oz. squeeze container with a squirt flip-top cap. Only a few types of squirt tops will work for this recipe. Otherwise, they clog. Reusing bottle tops from commercial soft scrub cleaners works great.

Recipe: Mix 1 2/3 cups baking soda with 1/2 cup of liquid soap in a bowl. Using liquid soaps is best because liquid detergents make this scrub too time consuming to rinse off. Dilute with 1/2 cup water. Add 2 tbsp. vinegar. Stir with a fork until the lumps are gone. Be as exact as you can, otherwise, your squirt will be too thin or thick. Keep the cap on, because this mixture will dry out. Shake well before using.
