About 6 months ago my mom decided she was going to make her own powdered bathroom cleaner. Apparently her cleaning lady requested she buy some Comet, and my mom wanted to find a slightly less toxic version. She made her own, and also mixed me up a small container for me, and I love it! The tiles and counter are clean and don`t smell chemical-y (like my roommate`s Pine Sol, which hurts my nose and who knows what else) at all!

The recipe is simple. Mix equal parts of baking soda, borax and washing soda. That's it!

This should last me a long time!

I got my baking soda, borax and washing soda in bulk at Grassroots. This is a minimal waste cleaning solution!

Soap Making Essentials suggested adding liquid soap and essential oil, and since I had some Eucalyptus Essential Oil sitting around from a previous project, I added it as well. It smells lovely, but I don`t expect it will make much of a difference to this concoction`s ability to clean.
