Homemade Soft Scrub & Non-Toxic Bathroom Cleaning Tips

Ready to remove toxic cleaners from your home? Find out how!

This works so well! Homemade soft scrub recipe and non-toxic bathroom cleaning tips from LiveRenewed.com

Guest Post by Stacy from A Delightful Home:

Most of us know that the cleaners lining the grocery shelves are full of toxins, harmful to our health, and bad for the environment. Chemicals such as chlorine bleach and ammonia may clean well, but they can also damage the nervous and respiratory systems (as noted in Make Your Place by Raleigh Briggs, page 46).

We do our best to stay away from these chemicals, but when it comes to killing germs or tough cleaning jobs, it can be tempting to give in and reach for the bleach (or other toxic cleaner). One place this often happens is the bathroom.

Let’s face it; the bathroom is one area that we want to keep as fresh as possible!

How can we clean the bathroom effectively without using chemicals?

Arm yourself with the right tools:

Ingredients such as vinegar, castile soap, baking soda, essential oils, and water will allow you to make all manner of non-toxic cleaners.

Tools such as a scrubby sponge, a decent toilet brush, and a microfiber cloth help get the jobs done when a little extra elbow grease is needed.

Cleaning the toilet

For daily cleaning/sanitizing, fill a spray bottle with vinegar and add a few drops of essential oil. I like to use lemon or tea tree; both have anti-bacterial properties and smell great. Use approximately 5 drops of essential oil per cup of vinegar. Spray on toilet seats and wipe.

For an extra thorough toilet cleaning: pour in 1/2 cup of baking soda and 10 drops of tea tree oil. Get the toilet brush ready and add 1/4 cup of vinegar to the bowl. As it fizzes, scrub the toilet.

Because of the reactive nature of this combination, it is not possible to make a big batch to save for future use. But you can pre-measure the baking soda into a container and add the essential oil (10 drops per 1/2 cup) and have that stored in the bathroom. Then you only need to add the vinegar each time.

Cleaning the bath and shower

Prevention is key to keeping the bath and shower clean.

Here are two things you can do a couple of times a week, right after taking a shower:

Spray the shower walls with vinegar to prevent mildew.
Keep a spray bottle filled with scented vinegar right in the shower stall to make this an easy job.

Use a squeegee to wipe down the walls.
You will be amazed at how much this cuts down on cleaning and scrubbing, especially if you have glass doors in the shower. We have a squeegee that suctions to the wall. That way it’s easy to reach (and right in front of my face to remind me!).

While prevention may be key to keeping the bathroom clean, it is still necessary to give the tub a thorough scrubbing once in a while. When that time comes, make your own Soft Scrub!

Homemade Soft Scrub for Bath and Tile

This recipe is adapted from the recipe for Earth Paste in Clean House, Clean Planet by Karen Logan (page243). It is quick and easy to put together and effectively cleans the bath (hooray). Make this in small batches because it can dry out and harden when stored. This recipe makes enough for two to four uses. Keep any remaining mixture in an air tight container.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup baking soda (slightly heaped)
  • 1/4 cup castile soap (I use Dr. Bronners Peppermint)
  • 1 Tablespoon water
  • 1 Tablespoon vinegar (*Now that I’ve learned you shouldn’t mix castile soap and vinegar, I would just omit the vinegar and make a paste with baking soda and castile soap.)

Method
In a bowl, combine the baking soda and castile soap. Add the water and stir with a fork to make a nice soft, paste-like, consistency.

Scoop out the scrub with a sponge and start cleaning.

This scrub can also be used to clean the toilet.

This is great! Homemade soft scrub recipe and non-toxic bathroom cleaning tips from LiveRenewed.com

The recipes in this post will enable you to clean the bathroom from top to bottom without using chemicals. The vinegar spray will also clean the mirror and door handles. Add soap to the vinegar mix, and it will get the counter top, sink, and walls clean. If you own a microfiber cloth, use it to clean the mirrors with water.

Emily has a recipe for homemade clorox wipes which are nice to have on hand for extra messy moments. You might also enjoy my favorite floor cleaner.

What tips do you have for using non-toxic cleaners in the bathroom?

    I’ve been ‘green cleaning’ my bathroom for the last couple years (yay for baking soda and vinegar!). I especially love the soft scrub recipe in this post. My son’s bathtub needed cleaning badly, but as I’m nine months pregnant, I wasn’t feeling up to my usual scrubbing with baking soda and water. I mixed up this tub scrub and it worked so well — not only did it lift the bathtub ring (ewwwww) like a charm, but it smelled nice, too. Thanks for the tips!

    We have been “green cleaning” for years – even before it was the thing to do. My mom just didn’t like using chemicals and when I started a home, I didn’t either. I have made all kinds of baking soda and vinegar cleaners but never a scrubing paste like this! I can’t wait to try

      That’s great Marci! Now that I’ve been using green cleaners for several years, I can’t stand the smell of chemical cleaners anymore – they just smell so, well – chemically – you know! It seems like we should realize just from the smell that they are not good for us. I hope you enjoy these ideas for bathroom cleaning (as much as you can enjoy cleaning a bathroom!) 🙂

    I used the toilet bowl cleaner you mentioned. Ecstatic with it, it worked so well and smelled good even after I flushed it down. I was so excited to clean the toilet ( is that bad to say lol) I have a hard time doing and cleaning with chemical products because of being pregnant the smells immediately making me sick. I was so happy I found your blog and found alternatives.

    Excellent soft scrub recipe! We’ve been switching to natural, mostly castile soap-based cleaners, but my wife has been asking for a soft scrub option. She was extremely skeptical about the recipe, but I tested it out on our above the stove, greasy, stubborn microwave and presto! The soft scrub worked great! She is now sold 🙂

        I actually have been making this soft scrub recipe for quite some time now and love it! I use it on sinks, toilets, showers, etc. I do not add the vinegar, but I do add about 1/4-1/2 cup of water. This makes it much more runny initially, but as it quickly thickens, it becomes the perfect consistency to use in a squirt bottle. It’s my favorite cleaner!

    I love this mix. I also use the peppermint castile soap, and I some extra drops of peppermint essential oil. I have enough to clean my full shower, tub, bathroom sink, kitchen sinks, and the pans under my stove top burners. That’s a lot of cleaning 😛 My house smells so good afterwards.

      I sigh whenever I see a recipe that mixes soap and vinegar. Likewise anything that mixes Sodium bicarbonate and Vinegar. Both these combinations are cleaning myths! Essentially vinegar is an acid and Sodium bicarbonate and soaps are an alkali/base. Anyone with a bit of high-school chemistry might recall that “Acid + Base = Salt + Water”. Vinegar is acetic acid; combined with sodium bicarbonate we get a thrilling froth of carbon dioxide bubbles, water, and sodium acetate which is a salt similar to sodium chloride; it’s about as effective a cleaning agent as a splash of sea-water.
      Vinegar and soap cancel each other out too, resulting in a curdled gloop far less effective than the ingredients used separately. Using them consecutively is the trick.
      I clean my surfaces using soap and/or bicarb, then finish off later with vinegar which acts as a mild antibacterial before it dissolves the powdery bicarb residue.
      The only possible use for the frothy vinegar/bicarb reaction is as a physical disturbance to unclog drains (I’m not entirely convinced about the effectiveness of this either)

      With the exception of frothing up your drains, ALL the Vinegar + bicarb (or soap) combination recipes are folk/wives tales based on ‘wonder’ that the thrilling bubble reaction must surely be doing something magical. Those recipes will no doubt be far more effective if you take out the vinegar; perhaps to spray it separately as a follow up degreasing disinfectant afterwards.

      If you omit the water and grate the bar soap you can put it in a shaker. It still works just as well. It’s just more like a Comet or Bon Ami scrub. Just sprinkle and add a bit of water.

      Rachel – It cannot be made and stored for very long because it will harden up. You might be able to keep it for about a week or so, but not much longer than that. Hope that helps!

      Hi Cindy,
      When vinegar and castile soap are mixed together, they curdle and actually cancel each other out, so they lose their cleaning ability. See this post for more info: http://www.liverenewed.com/2012/10/days-green-clean-common-green-cleaning-mistake.html

        Thanks for that info.mom always added 20 mule team borax when washing clothing, so I do that and add some kind of natural cleaner. I used the borax also as a bathroom scrub along with the natural soap. I still feel I should use gloves, and avoid breathing any in, and rinsing well. I use Arm and Hammer washing soda when washing dishes along with natural soap. How does this sound. Thanks again.

    Hi, Emily!

    This is a really great soft scrub and I just wanted to let you know that it *is* okay to leave the vinegar in there despite the presence of castile soap. You’re right, normally, when you have an acid (vinegar) and a base (castile soap), they react directly with one another and cancel each other out, leaving you with a counterproductive yucky mess. However, vinegar+baking soda react much faster than vinegar+castile soap, so when you add baking soda to the mix, the chemical reaction that first takes place is that of vinegar and baking soda, before the vinegar has any time to react with the castile soap and render it soap-less 😉

    Instead of using castille soap, I use regular dish detergent. That way I don’t have to worry about vinegar/castille soap not working the way I need it to. Sometimes, I will use baking soda and castille. And I always use essential oils.
