1. Ingredients: Start with an opaque jar for storage. Combine baking soda, white clay (or kaolin/Spanish white), liquid soap or dishwashing liquid, optional pumice powder for gentle abrasion, water, and essential oils like lemon, pine, or eucalyptus for scent.
2. Easy Mixing: Add 1.5 measures white clay or kaolin, 1 measure baking soda, 1 measure liquid soap, and 0.5 measure pumice powder. Stir vigorously, adding water to fill the jar. For a 30g jar, finish with 10 drops essential oil.
3. Drying Time: Seal the jar and let it dry in the sun for at least 24 hours, lid closed.
Your homemade scouring stone is set! Rub your sponge across it to infuse cleaning power, then scrub away grime for spotless results.
This costs far less than store-bought options and refills easily—except the baking soda, which doubles for countless other cleaning tasks and personal care.
Ideal for the whole house, it delivers professional-grade cleaning with natural ingredients and a bit of elbow grease.
