I used to buy Comet and Bon Ami for scrubbing sinks, toilets, and showers, but now I just make my own with some really cheap, really natural ingredients. Sure, you can't eat this stuff, but at least it isn't chock full of wierd dyes and chemicals that I can't pronounce.
It's extra-easy and pretty, too when you put it into an inexpensive sugar dispenser for easy sprinkling. You could also just poke some holes in a mason jar lid and keep it in there.
Here is the link to the blog post with the labels for the no-scratch scrub and also the all-purpose cleaner.
YOU WILL NEED:
1/2 baking soda (really cheap to buy in bulk)
1/2 borax powder (found in the laundry aisle)
essential oil (optional)
Mix the borax and baking soda together, then add a few drops of essential oil (I used 10 drops lemon, 5 drops basil, and 5 drops peppermint). Mix them together until combined. Use just as you would BonAmi or Comet.
*Note, it's best to mix these in the container that you will be using them from. Do not breathe in the dust.
