Cheap, environmentally friendly "Homemade Soft Scrub"

This recipe was shared on a message board I frequent. The OP couldn't remember where she found it, but I am glad she did.

Earth Scrub
2 cups baking soda
1/2 cup liquid soap
(you can use dish soap, laundry soap, bubble bath, shampoo...whatever you have on hand)
2/3 cup water
2 Tbsp. Vinegar

Mix the first three together, then add the vinegar last because if you mix it with the baking soda, it'll foam up!

Put in a recycled squeeze bottle - I use an old body wash bottle - and use it on sinks and counter tops.

This looks great! I'm going top file this away for when I need it!

It is great! Someone posted it on the SLN, and I have been using it ever since.

I keep it in the kitchen. When I make it, I use dish soap so that I can squirt a little into dishes that have stuff the dishwasher won't take off (like if I make cheese sauce.)
