Home Made Scouring Powder

You are cleaning the kitchen and you just ran out of scouring powder. You don't have time to run to the store to get more. Chances are you have all the ingredients to make your own at home.

From the kitchen, grab a box of baking soda. From the laundry room grab the box of Borax.

In a bowl combine 1 part baking soda to 2 parts of borax. Using a fork combine them well.

To clean, simply sprinkle some onto the surface that you would like to clean and rub with a damp cloth. Rinse well with warm water and buff dry with a dry paper towel or cloth.

You can use this for cleaning sinks, walls, bathtubs or most any other non-porous surfaces.
