All-Purpose Scrub

All-Purpose Scrub from Body+Soul magazine

Supply list:
small bowl
1/2 cup baking soda
plant based soap such as olive (castille soap), palm or coconut
1/2 a lemon
damp rag or sponge
optional for storage:
glass jar w/ lid
vegetable glycerin


Pour baking soda into a bowl. Add just enough liquid soap to make a creamy paste. Spread mixture on the flat side of lemon and scrub. The lemon acts as a sponge and leaves a natural citrus scent. Use a damp rag or sponge to wipe away any residue. The paste will stay moist for a few hours.


*To save leftover scrub, add in a few drops of vegetable glycerin (a thick, clear syrup derived from plant oils, available from http://www.mountainroseherbs.com/) and seal in a glass jar.


Happy Cleaning!
