Homemade Scouring Powder
This recipe for homemade scouring powder just does a great job when you need to do some cleaning, which is just what I need to do today since I am feeling better. Time to catch up on the things that were neglected since I was sick.... I was able to find both the Borax and the Washing Soda at Wal-Mart.Homemade Scouring Powder
1 part Borax
1 part washing soda
1-2 drops essential oil. ( I like to use lemon or lavender, but today I used Orange oil )
1 part washing soda
1-2 drops essential oil. ( I like to use lemon or lavender, but today I used Orange oil )
I often make it without the essential oil for two reasons, I think it smells nice and clean without it and any time you add oil to a cleaner, you are adding an ingredient that can leave a film.
Store in an air tight container and clearly mark what it is. I usually make a batch of one cup of each, Borax and Washing Soda

you just use it in the same way as you would any scouring powder such as comet or ajax. Sprinkle it on the surface you wish you clean and srcub with a damp cloth and rinse clean with water
