    I’m not sure where to put this thread, but I’m guessing this is the place. (Mods, if I’m wrong, please feel free to move it.)
    Since cleaning products can be hard to get lately, I did a bit of research and came up with this;

    Natural Scrubbing Powder

    Ingredients;


    1/2 cup each- Borax, Baking soda, Diatomaceous earth*, Oxygen bleach powder, Pure soap flakes

    Optional- 2 tbsp. Peppermint or spearmint oil

    Mix all powders in a large bowl. Add scent and stir until lumps are gone.

    Store in airtight container.
    *Buy “Food grade” & read the label to be sure it is 100% diatomaceous earth.

    I’ve used it. While it’s not super-scratchy, it cleans quite well.

    Sounds like it would take off pretty much everything you want off, short of stripping paint.

    It does a pretty nice job on my stainless steel sink.
