Soft scrub, made at home in a flash!  Just sprinkle about a quarter cup of Arm and Hammer baking soda into the  wet sink, pour in a tablespoon of Murphy Oil Soap, mix it around with your finger.  With a damp cloth, scrub the sink.  Rinse and enjoy.  Take a moment to admire yourself in the mirror.  You now have a clean, sanitary sink for just pennies!  It smells great too!  Aren't you the clever one! 

This mix can be made up and stored in an air tight container if you like. If it dries out just add some tap water and mix it up.  A wonder worker on the range top, bathtub and shower too.  It will de-grease a pan quick as a wink and works well on out door projects, like garden tools and autos.  I have a fisherman friend who loves it because it cleans all the equipment and gear so easily.  His wife love it because he doesn't smell fishy!  

One final recommendation.  After living with an automotive mechanic for 40 years, I can say nothing, at any price, EVER cleans up greasy hands like this mix.  This stuff is the bomb!  Just rub it in wet or dry and work it around a bit.  Rinse with warm water, maybe repeat once or twice and the mess is all gone. 

Murphy Oil Soap has many other uses for a green and thrifty household, as does baking soda.  More to come on that topic.
