You can use this scrub on countertops and the sink; it's also great for bathtubs and shower stalls.

This looks great, and very easy. Is this a “no rinse” formula? I’m wondering if there would be baking soda or soap residue left behind after just a wipe like in the video.

Thanks for the great tip!

This is a different recipe than I know of.  It sounds great though.  I recently hosted a workshop on making your own household cleaners.  The handout for that workshop is on my website, http://www.naturalindianamommas.ning.com.

Hi Laura, I’d love to see the handout from your workshop, but all I can find is a flyer for the workshop - no handout! Is there a different link?

Thanks,
Michelena

So sorry about that, Michelena! I think I have fixed it.  Thanks for letting me know.

What is the glycerin for, and why didn’t you add it to the bottle in the demo?

The glycerin is added to keep the soft scrub from solidifying if you store it.  If you are going to use it all up right after you make it there’s no need for the glycerin.
