Portions: 1 pot

Tools

  • glass jar with lid

Materials

  • 2 small cups baking soda
  • ½ cup liquid soap (You can also make your own liquid soap if necessary.)
  • 4 el glycerine (Glycerine acts as a binder here and can be bought from drugstores or pharmacies).
  • 5-10 drops essential lemon or orange oil (optional)

Instructions

  • Mix all the ingredients well and store the paste in a glass jar with a lid.
  • With a wet cloth or sponge, remove a little paste from the pot and you can start cleaning right away.

Notes

Because baking soda is in the abrasive, you cannot use it on aluminium, a wooden floor or countertop, marble or porous rocks.
