Home Again...Jiggety Jig

To Market to market to buy a fat pig
Home again, home again, jiggety-jig !

Going away can be so much fun but getting back home again is always a mixed blessing. It's nice to be home and have all my stuff again, but there is just so much to catch up on. I've been busy for over a week now and keep feeling like I take one step forward and two back.

Started do some house cleaning and realized I needed to make more of my home made Soft Scrub and thought I'd share the simple recipe with those who may have never made it before.

It is easy to make and works wonderfully on sinks, tubs and shower stalls.

1/2 cup baking soda
2 Tbsp liquid dish washing detergent...or just enough to give consistency of cake frosting/icing

(I use Palmolive as I like the green color, but you could use any brand you like or even an antibacterial dish washing liquid if you prefer)
scant 1/4 tsp of essential oil such as tea tree, lavender, lemon, etc...this is optional and is mainly for fragrance.

Thoroughly mix these ingredients together (fork works fine as does a small whisk) until baking soda is moistened throughout and is of the consistency of cake frosting.
I store mine in a plastic container with a snap on lid (Gladware storage containers) but an empty margarine tub, washed well with hot water and detergent works great too. To use just snap off lid, dab your sponge or cleaning rag into the creamy paste and clean away.

It's economical and eco friendly.
