I wanted to post another recipe with Sal Suds that has a little extra power for cleaning messy countertops, bathroom sinks, spills on floors, dirty walls This works awesome and I love the smell. Weird maybe, I know. With TTO I find that people either love it or hate it. This is a recipe I came up with myself after doing some research and talking to one of my green cleaning neighbors.
Sal Suds Multi-purpose Cleaner
- Water (24 ounces)
- ½ cup distilled white vinegar
- 1 TBSP Sal Suds Castile soap
- ¾ cup hydrogen peroxide
- 1 tsp Super Washing Soda
- 1/2 tsp Borax
- 25 drops tea tree oil (TTO)
- 2 drops eucalyptus oil
What is the difference between sal suds and regular castile soap? Can I substitute with regular castile? Thanks for the great ideas. I can't wait to try your cleaning products! Great blog!
ReplyDeleteHi Pam! Sal Suds was made specifically for cleaning surfaces. It has SLS (Sodium Laurel Sulfate) in it and can create quite a bit of bubbles of too much is used. It can also be more drying than castile soap because it was created for surface cleaning, while castle soap can be used for either cleaning surfaces or your body. Sal Suds is not harmful, it just has a little more umph or cleaning power for grease and stains. Sal Suds does not contain olive, jojoba and hemp oils like the castile soap does.
ReplyDeleteYes you can substitute with the regular castile soap you just may need to scrub a little more, or you can use half and half. I still add a little squirt of castile to my multi-purpose cleaner. It has been know to help the SLS to rinse away. Here is a link that gives a pretty good description of Sal Suds for you to cut and paste. Thanks for visiting! http://www.drbronner.com/DBMS/SSLI16/SalSudsLiquidCleaner.htm
Thank you for the info. I had tried to get only dr. bronner's site but for some reason was unable. I am going to see if I can find some locally. If not I will be ordering online soon! Thanks again!
