After a weekend away ( and a distinct lack of house work in the preceeding week) our shower needed a good scrub. In order to motivate myself to do it I combined aromatherapy with cleaning. I added a few drops of essential oil of sweet orange to my shower cleaning recipe and bob's your aunty 2 jobs done.
I do not find that my spray and wipe recipe ( see earlier posts) will stand up to the dirt found on a bath or in a shower every time, now and again I use the paste. I make this up fresh each time.
Shower/bath paste
1/3 cup of baking soda in a mug (bin inn for bulk quantities)
add a tablespoon of dish wash liquid
add enough vinegar to make a paste the same consistency as jif
add a couple of drops of essential oil, peppermint works well (but avoid if pregnant) I used sweet orange
I smear it all over the walls, shower door floor and use a non abrasive cloth or brush over all the surface to clean everywhere then rinse off. If feeling very house proud I will then use a rubber scraper to get rid of the water for a sparkly shower.
