Lemon & Tea Tree Sink Cleaner

Ingredients:

-1/2 cup baking soda

-1 lemon (you'll need the juice and the rind)

-Water

-5-10 drops of tea tree essential oil

Follow my video above or these easy steps:

1. Start by cutting the lemon in half. Squeeze the juice from one half into a bowl.

2. Add the baking soda to the bowl with the lemon juice. Mix them to form a paste. If it's too dry, you can add a little water to achieve the desired consistency.

3. Add 5-10 drops of tea tree essential oil to the baking soda and lemon juice mixture. Mix well.

4. Take the other half of the lemon and dip it into the baking soda mixture.

5. Use the lemon half covered in baking soda paste to scrub your sink surfaces, focusing on areas with stains or buildup.

6. Once you've scrubbed the sink thoroughly, let the mixture sit for a few minutes to allow the natural cleaning properties to work.

7. Rinse the sink well with water to remove any residue. Adding tea tree essential oil enhances the cleaning power and provides additional antimicrobial properties to help disinfect the sink surfaces.

Don't have lemons or limes on hand? No worries! Here's a Pinterest video of this recipe with oranges instead!
