USES FOR PEPPERMINT OIL
Peppermint Soap Scrub with Baking Soda
Baking soda is one of the most used all natural ingredient from your kitchen for making homemade cleaning products. This is a mild cleanser that is great for cleaning just about anything from your sinks, inside your refrigerator, stovetops, grout & everything in between.
- 2 tablespoons baking soda
- 2 drops of hand dish soap
- A few drops of water, add more if needed to make a paste
- 2 drops peppermint essential oil
- White distilled vinegar
Add the baking soda to a small dish. Mix in the hand dish soap & a few drops of water, add peppermint essential oils until it forms into a foamy paste. Apply to any surface you want to clean, use a natural cleaning sponge or soft brush depending on the surface. Let the mixture sit on the surface for about 10 minutes and then spray with vinegar to rinse. Dry with a microfiber cloth. The vinegar smell will disappear once it dries.
Note: If you’re working with tile use water to rinse instead of vinegar. Do not use vinegar on surfaces that is acid sensitive.
