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
- Pour ingredients into jar or bowl.
- Mix or stir until well mixed.
- 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)

Pretty sure you weren't supposed to throw the whole bottle of essential oils in the mix. Kinda hard to stir it in while still enclosed in the container. Thank you, just got given a set of old pots and pans (not the cast iron ones, I have focused on seasoning those properly and the others now are the focus), and needed to figure out a way to clean the non cast iron ones without leaving irritants.
ReplyDeleteHaHa. Gotta love that lemon oil though.
