Homemade kitchen cleaner – step-by-step
This homemade kitchen cleaner can be fragranced or not. Jen has suggested lavender as the scent, but you may like to choose your own. ‘Apply a little of the cream cleaner to a reusable sponge or cotton cloth. Using a circular motion, rub the cleaner into the sink or bathtub until the area is completely covered. Rinse away with a little warm water. This is a fresh cleaning product, so should be used straight away,’ advises Jen.
1. Combine the ingredients
Add the bicarbonate of soda to the mixing bowl. Start adding the liquid castile soap and stir to combine. There is no precise measurement for the castile soap. The ratio is approximately one third to one half the measurement of the baking of soda, but you need to add enough for the mixture to achieve a paste-like consistency. Add the lavender flowers or essential oil, if using.
2. Stir and store
Stir the mixture until it is well combined. Pour the mixture into a clean, glass storage jar.
