If you’ve used a scrubbing paste that left you with a headache or that you needed to use rubber gloves with, you’re going to love this natural and inexpensive heavy duty soft cleaning paste. You can mix it up with ingredients you probably already have on hand. This gentle, yet heavy duty cleaning paste is perfect for tackling those stubborn stains, dirt, grime, and even soap scum around your home. The DIY Heavy Duty Soft Cleaning Paste uses just four staple ingredients – baking soda, All-Purpose Cleaning Soap, Oxygen Whitener, and water – this scrub not only offers powerful cleaning action but also keeps your home free from harsh chemicals and fragrances.

Did you see the new All-Purpose Cleaning Soap in the shop? It’s an ultra-concentrated, non-toxic soap with a gel-like consistency that can be used all over the house for cleaning but you can also use it for washing dishes and hands. It’s available in three plant-derived scents too! Lemon, Lemon & Clove, and Sweet Mint!  See how I use it to clean toilets here.

DIY Heavy Duty Soft Cleaning Paste

Note: You can leave out the Oxygen Whitener for a simple soft scrub. You can see that DIY cleaning recipe here. 

Directions:

Mix the baking soda, Oxygen Whitener and All-Purpose Cleaning Soap together. It’ll be clumpy – slowly add the warm water and stir as you drizzle it in. Once it gets to a frosting-like right consistency, stop adding water. Give it a good mix and get ready to scrub.

Wet the surface and add a spoonful of the paste to the surface that needs attention. Using a sponge or a scrub brush, scrub, scrub, scrub. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.

A little goes a long way – if you are left with a haze on your surface, you didn’t rinse it completely. Rinse again and dry. This concoction is best as a one-time use cleaner – if you have any left over, find another spot to scrub 🙂 Find more DIY cleaning recipes here.
