Green living- Homemade cleaner

This cleaner works wonders on oven tops and bathroom sinks.

Try this easy cleaner today – it works wonders on oven tops and bathroom sinks. When I first made this up for my shop, I woke in the middle of the night to hear popping coming from downstairs. All the lids were flying off, as this does fizz and expand for the first 24 hours after you make it!

  • 1 cup baking soda

  • 1 tbsp cream of tartar

  • 10ml liquid castile soap (or dishwashing liquid for a less green option)

  • 5ml water

In a bowl, mix baking soda with cream of tartar. In a jug, mix liquid castile soap with the water. Slowly pour into the powders and mix with a fork until you have a paste. Stir in more water if needed. For a scent, you can also add 1ml of peppermint essential oil and stir to combine. A little extra water may be needed to get a paste. Store in an airtight container and use to clean your kitchen and bathroom sinks, baths and even the toilet.

*This may bubble over the 24 hours – leave room in your container and don’t put the lid on tight until the next day.
