We have a great one for you from @faveurmontreal We carry lots of great diy ingredients for making your own household cleaners including everything you need for this great recipe. 1 cup FAVEUR organic grated household soap... 1 cup water 2 to 3 cups baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) Put soap and water in a medium pot. Heat slowly, stirring constantly, until soap is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and leave to cool until just warm. Add baking soda gradually, stirring between each addition, until smooth and thickened like firm pudding. Transfer to container and let cool completely before closing the lid. The magic scrubbing paste can be used everywhere!
