Wonderful Kitchen Sink Scrub That Makes Your Sink Glow!

Charishma_Ramchandani's Note:

My wonderful Auntie Karen(Chef Yogi) has been so generous and kind to me. She sent me over half a dozen awesome essential oils which is something I have been wanting for so many months!! She sent me this wonderful easy recipe that was listed on www.make-stuff.com I have just finished making this and using it in my horribly dirty sink and now, I have the most clean and glowing sink I have ever seen in my kitchen! Nobody would believe I haven't used even a little Vim or Jif tonight to clean my sink if they saw it. Something so easy as this, and using just 4 ingredients is a true winner and a sure keeper in my book. Hope this will make you as happy as it made me! I am going to use this as long as these oils last!;) In my opinion, this would make a nice gift to give a would-be bride or your best friend for that matter or your neighbour or mom or MIL. Whoever you gift this to, is going to love you for it! ENJOY!

I'm always aware of chemicals in our home especially as one of my daughters has eczma. I used this on the sink and it didn't make a big difference, I think because my sink is only six months old and I clean it often. But, I took the cleaner to the kids bathroom and wow, the bath cleaned up so well with just a soft cloth and this cleaner, and the stainless steel fittings are gleaming. I did not use the oils either, but may add some tea tree or eucalyptus oils to act as an anti-bacterial. Thanks for sharing.

I love making my own cleaning products and this one was one of the first I tried out 2 years ago. I threw out all my commercial cleaning products and my house now smells so much "fresher" without all those chemicals under the sink. I now only keep a bottle of white vinegar, a few boxes of baking soda, borax, a bottle of window cleaner ( made with vinegar) sponges and trash bags under there. This sink scrub also works wonders on the shower stall and tub as it does not scratch the surfaces...like some other products. I love to mix and match essential oils also... one of my favorites is lemon and lime! Thanks for sharing!!!

I just love recipes like this. My sink looks like new. So easy and effective without the chemicals. I didn't use the essential oil, but I think I'll try tea tree oil next time. Most cleaning products are such a waste of money. Thanks for posting this keeper of a recipe.
