Common household cleaners often contain harsh chemicals. So we made our own bathroom grout scrub that not only works, but smells clean and delicious!
Can cleaning bathrooms and showers get more enjoyable? Really?
Bathroom Grout Scrub Recipe
Ingredients
15 drops Sweet Orange essential oil (Citrus sinensis)
15 drops Tea Tree essential oil (Melaleuca alternifolia)
10 drops Peppermint essential oil (Mentha x piperita)
Directions
In a 16 oz wide mouth container, mix the essential oils listed with 1 cup of baking soda, 3 tablespoons castile soap, 1/4 tablespoons cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of white vinegar. Easy! Add more vinegar or castile soap as needed to make a smooth consistency.
Use about a teaspoon of this mixture on a scrubby sponge to clean the shower. I also use this on the kitchen and bathroom sinks. The bathroom smells great and I feel good after cleaning!

This works like a charm! I’ve never enjoyed cleaning before. Instead of holding my breath with cleaning products, now I’m taking a deep breath! Is there anything better than a slow deep breath??
Thanks for the tip Andrea. I love my new grout cleaner – It smells beautiful, feels good and it cleaned my grout. I think I will do the other tiles today cuz I am lovin’ the aromas!
Great bathroom scrub! So nice to be able to inhale the scents in a cleaning product and not get a headache or become light headed! Instead, I know that the essential oils I am inhaling while cleaning are actually benefiting my health! What a great combination!
This scrub is fantastic. I used to be a big bleach user for my bathroom until I came across this. Now I do not have to feel like I am poisoning myself to have a clean bathroom or kitchen. The great plus is that the aroma of the scrub is so uplifting and energizing!
just made this !!!
smells awesome and works great !
especially up here in winter ! refreshing and efficient !
How great to be able to make something like this with just a few ingredients, and not only no scary fumes but a great scent and the wonderful health-supportive properties of the essential oils!
I love your recipes! Do you happen to have one for a drain cleaner? I know there’s some way to use hot water or vinegar or something… any ideas? (Of course, I’d love to add essential oils, too
Thanks!
