Ingredients:


- 1 cup Baking Soda (cuts through grease and deodorizes) If you only need a little, this one is super affordable. Otherwise, this one is great if you are needing it for cooking and other DIY projects.



- 1/4 cup Liquid Castile Soap (lifts dirt and leaves surfaces sparkling) This one is my all-time favorite. It works great and is super gentle on my skin, yet always tough on grease.




Instructions:




Mix the baking soda and castile soap in a small bowl until it forms a thick

paste.


Transfer the paste to an airtight container to keep it fresh.

(These 8oz airtight containers would work great!)




How to Use:



- Apply a small amount of paste to the dirty surface using a sponge or

cloth.


- Gently scrub in a circular motion.

- Rinse with warm water and wipe dry.



Where to Use It:



Stovetops: Breaks down grease and burnt-on food.



Faucets and Sinks: Shines surfaces without scratching.



Bathtubs and Showers: Removes soap scum and hard water stains.




Why It Works:



Baking Soda: A gentle abrasive that scrubs away grime without damaging

surfaces.



Castile Soap: Lifts dirt and grease while being eco-friendly and

biodegradable.
