Pooh hey, all those cleaning products on the shelf. But did you know that you can also make a lot of cleaning products yourself. Often, you only need a few ingredients and it is also quick and easy to make. That way, you save money and it is sustainable too! This time, zero waste expert Emily-Jane Townley shares her DIY recipe for scouring agent.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Making your own abrasive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In addition to all-purpose cleaner<\/a>, hand soap<\/a> and detergent<\/a> you can also make abrasive yourself. On a yearly basis, you will save yourself a lot of waste by doing so, as scouring agents usually come in large plastic bottles. So besides a sustainable tip, this recipe is also a great budget tip, because making your own cleaning products is a lot cheaper than buying ready-made ones. For this recipe, I only use natural ingredients. And where do you store this homemade scouring agent? Well just in a glass preserving jar. One of those big ones that can hold applesauce or a kilo of peanut butter are ideal.<\/p>\n\n\n
