Put one teaspoon of liquid soap and several drops of an antibacterial essential oil (such as tea tree, eucalyptus, rosemary, or peppermint) to one cup of baking soda. Add just enough water to form a paste, and use it with a sponge or brush to scrub bathtub surfaces.

Awesome Tub Scrub
I found this Tub Scrub through Pinterest, but it is a Martha Steward recipe. This is my second time making it. It works really well and smells great!
Put one teaspoon of liquid soap and several drops of an antibacterial essential oil (such as tea tree, eucalyptus, rosemary, or peppermint) to one cup of baking soda. Add just enough water to form a paste, and use it with a sponge or brush to scrub bathtub surfaces.
I replaced the soap and essential oil with Dr. Bonners peppermint soap. Love Love Love this stuff!!! Warning, I do recommend using gloves, as I found it does dry my skin out a bit.

Vinegar
After checking out lots of homemade cleaning recipes on Pinterest, I've decided vinegar is one of my most favorite homemade cleaning ingredients. Yes, the smell kinda sucks at first! But thankfully it does not make your house smell like vinegar once you have cleaned!!
2 of my most favorite uses, do not even leave a scent. I stopped buying a rinse agent for my dishwasher, and instead fill it will vinegar, and it does just a good a job, and I also used vinegar in the fabric softener dispenser in my washing machine. Now I totally did not believe it would work, but my towels came out super soft (with no vinegar scent!). It's cheap and antibacterial - win, win!!
I have some other homemade recipes, some are great and some have failed. Look for those posts coming soon!
