Abrasive Cleaning Powder (made from eggshells!)
Many cleaners out there are full of toxic junk, and when we clean with them, they are absorbed by our bodies through our skin and mucous membranes. That is not good. I needed something that got the job done without making me toxic. You just need 2 ingredients!
Equipment
Materials
- 1 cup ground up eggshell about 2 dozen eggs worth
- 3 cups baking soda
- Mortar and pestle
Instructions
- Crack the eggs and set the shells aside on a baking sheet. Scramble the eggs and eat them.
- Dry the eggshells on a cookie sheet in the sun or a low oven until you can crush them in your hands. They need to be completely dry or else they will not grind up well.
- In your mortar and pestle, grind them into a coarse powder. I suppose you could also do this in a coffee grinder or something similar.
- Mix with baking soda.
- Done. Sometimes to boost the cleaning power of this powder I will add a little splash of vinegar to really get it cooking.
