Herbal Cleaning Powder

This herbal cleaning powder is easy to put together and stores incredibly well. It works on tough kitchen and bathroom residue like showers, tubs, and sinks, but can also be used on most tile flooring and countertops.

Yields 2.5 cups

Ingredients:

• ⅓ cup ground soap flakes
• 1 ½ cups washing soda
• 1 cup borax
• 1 tsp rosemary
• 12 drops eucalyptus essential oil
• 12 drops rosemary essential oil
• 12 drops lemon essential oil

Instructions:

1. Grind soap flakes on “low” in a high-powered blender or food processor until it resembles coarse sand, making sure it does not blend so much that it melts. If you cannot find soap flakes, grate a plain, unscented soap bar.
2. Grind rosemary in mortar & pestle or spice grinder.
3. Mix all ingredients in a bowl until well incorporated and store in an airtight container or mason jar for up to 2 years.

To use: Sprinkle powder as needed across sinks, tubs, and tile floors. Scrub with a wet brush or sponge. Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
