Some of you may have already tried this recipe, but just had to share the GREAT success with it!!!

My bathtub was so grimy and dirty.....a good cleaning was long over due.
I usually use Lime Away and then Ajax.
I'm trying to steer away from chemical cleaners, so I dug out my book, Clean House, Clean Planet.
I found a recipe for tub and tile and it worked efficiently, and effortlessly!!!
I couldn't believe it.
I barely had to use any elbow grease to get the grime off.

I also, felt horrible, thinking about all the times I had unnecessarily used harsh chemicals, that were a danger to my family & the environment.

I know it may sound silly, but I almost felt like crying, thinking about how far we have come from the good, simple, ways of the past; to now polluting and killing ourselves with toxic garbage. We have been so deceived in so many areas of our lives, it breaks my heart.

Tub & Tile Cleaner

1 2/3 cups baking soda
1/2 cup liquid soap, not detergent - (I used Dr. Bronners)
Dilute with 1/2 cup water
Add 2 Tbsp Vinegar - (White distilled)

Stir until lumps are gone.
You don't want it too, thick.
Poor into 16oz, squeeze bottle, with opening as large as your dish soap, otherwise it will clog.
Shake well before using.

Squirt the cleaner anywhere; tub, toilet, sink......it works GREAT!!!

I'm going to try this one as well. I've tried just baking soda and vinegar, and although they help, they just don't cut through all the gunk my husband brings home from the shop.

Thank you for this! Two boys who go to the beach and walk barefoot + hubby... grubby bath/shower. I thought I'd hosed down the tub pretty well last night but still took a bath sitting on grains of sand. Ick.

I would like to try this, but I am clueless about "liquid soap." The only liquid soap I can think of is the dish detergents, like Dawn, Gain, Joy, etc. I have never heard of Dr. Bronner's. Would you find this kind of soap in a regular grocery store? In the same isle as the dish detergent, cleansers, etc???

Thanks for the help.

Our grocery has it in the "health food" section. Every health food store in the country sells the stuff, too. It is considered a specialty/health food item, not mainstream like, say Ivory. It is a liquid castile soap. They also have a website. It is the largest selling soap in the US!

I have never seen this before. I live in a VERY small town...our 2 grocery stores do not even have a health food section. I still don't have a clue. :(
