Homemade Bar Keepers Friend - Kitchen, Bath, and Sink Cleaner

I love the BAR KEEPERS FRIEND cleaner. But got tired of paying the price for it. I looked of directions (here) to make me some of my own and realized that I already had all the ingredients. Been Using it for about 6 months now for cleaning pots, sinks, toilet, and the shower. Love its cleaning power. 

Ingredients

• 1 cup baking soda
• ½ cups salt
• ½ cup borax powder
• 15 drops Lemon Essential Oil *

*Lemon Essential oil - Lemon is a powerful cleansing agent that purifies the air, disinfects surfaces, and can be used as a non-toxic cleaner throughout the home.

Instructions

1. Pour ingredients into jar or bowl.
2. Mix or stir until well mixed.
3. If you want to make a shaker, put in a pint or quart mason jar (I used some cleaned out sauce jars) and poke some holes in the top (carefully) with nail and hammer.

Notes

To Use:
Lightly wet surface with water or undiluted white vinegar (for really bad messes)
Sprinkle powder on and let sit 5 minutes
Scrub with sturdy brush until clean
Rinse with water or vinegar (for really bad messes)

Homemade 'Tear Free' Baby Bubble Bath Solution

Who does not love a bubble bath? Instead of going out and buying another product I decided to make my own Baby Bubble Bath Solution. This recipe is easy and quick. I know use this every time for bath time, it makes for cleaning and scrubbing my toddler easier because he is already playing and swimming in the cleaning solution.

Ingredients

1 cup Baby soap or shampoo

3/4 cup Water

1/2 to 1 teaspoon Glycerin

15 Drops of Essential Oils (I like to use Lavender or Serenity, soothing before bedtime)

Directions

I poured all of the ingredients into a clear glass bowl and began to whisk, gently. I then had some empty shampoo containers that I funneled the solution into. I then labeled with sharpie (did not get picture of that). And DONE! Time to clean a dirty Baby.
