Make Your Own Citrus Enzyme Cleaner and Scrub

Back in March of last year I posted about making my own Citrus Enzyme Cleaner
from leftover lemon rinds! I know, it sounds a little crazy,
but after reading pages and pages of information and comments about it,
I decided to give it a try…and I have been using it ever since.
(You can find the tutorial by CLICKING HERE.)

                                                                                                   
I love this cleaner because it’s natural, environmentally-friendly,
and non-toxic…it’s made from kitchen scraps…AND it’s effective!
Leave it to one of YOU to improve upon the idea!
This idea came from a comment left by Red Curl who decided she couldn’t stand to see the rinds, pulp, and seeds go to waste when she strained the liquid out to make her enzyme cleaner.
Instead, she decided to grind it all up, add some baking soda for the “scrub factor”,
and make a SUPER cleaner! :-) How brilliant is THAT?
I have been meaning to try this for months…
but it wasn’t until recently that I finally exhausted my most recent batch
of enzyme cleaner and needed to make a new one.
Today my new batch was finally ready so I decided to try my hand at making my own enzyme scrub.
                                                                                     
                                               
First I strained the LIQUID enzyme cleaner into a bowl and set it aside to use
in my spray bottle later.
                                                            
After straining, I took the pulpy stuff left over, threw it in the Blendtec,
and pulsed it until it was nice and slushy. (Red Curl used her food processor,
so that’s another option.)
                                       
Next I added the baking soda and continued to pulse the Blendtec until it formed a nice,
 thick paste. I ended up adding about 1 1/2 cups of baking soda total…
but that amount will depend on how much slush you have in the first place.
Just add about a half cup at a time until it’s a good consistency.
                                                               
Then put the concoction in a lidded container and start cleaning!
                                
So far I’ve only used it on the kitchen sink.
The baking soda and citrus enzyme combination not only made my sink clean as a whistle,
but made it smell SO clean and fresh at the same time!
Can’t wait to try it out on other “messes” around the house.
Some of the things Red Curl has used it for include, bathtub rings, pet stains, clothing stains,
cleaning the oven, cleaning the toilet, house siding, and, I quote —
“16-hundred other things!” — unquote. Pretty powerful endorsement! ;-)
                                                           
Now you have another powerful tool in your fight against grime,
high prices, and chemicals.
