    2 Ingredient Homemade Scouring Scrub that Cleans Almost Everything

    by Jessica 4 Comments

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

    Looking for a multipurpose cleaner that you can make at home that really works? This 2 ingredient homemade scouring scrub that cleans almost everything is the most used cleaner in my cleaning caddy. I typically refer to it as sink and tub scrub, but it does so much more. This amazing cleaning scrub will clean your sink, bathtub, shower walls and doors, stovetop, oven, burned pots and pans and more!

    When I say that this scouring scrub has become my go to cleaner, I couldn't be more serious. I keep a shaker of it on hand right on my kitchen sink and in all of our bathrooms. It's the first thing that I've ever used to clean my white kitchen sink that actually cleans it, removes scuff marks and gets rid of stains in seconds. I literally just sprinkle it all over my sink, use a scouring pad to work it into the sink and rinse it down the drain. I originally made it for cleaning my sink, then when it worked so well, I decided to try using it to clean our bathtub. I couldn't believe how well it worked on the soap scum buildup! Then I decided to see just how many things I could use my new miracle cleaner to clean. It cleaned my glass stovetop, the inside of my oven (including the oven door), and I cleaned my stained sheet pans...it works on all of them! A couple of weeks ago, I overcooked some rice and used it to remove the burned on bits from the bottom of my pot. I shared two quick videos on Instagram showing how I used it on my stovetop and sink HERE! It pairs well with the 3 Ingredient Degreaser Spray that I use to clean countertops, tabletops and most of the surfaces in my kitchen like my coffee machine, toaster, the inside of my fridge and more!

        Can a different essential oil be used, or is there something special about the orange? I don’t care for the smell of orange.
