Do Peroxide or Vinegar Make This Scrub Work Higher?

Whereas these sound like each of those elements would add a extra highly effective punch than simply plain outdated water, there are good the reason why I did not embrace them on this recipe, or reasonably why they’re simply different.

Vinegar reacts with baking soda, so if you happen to select to make use of vinegar as a substitute of water for this scrub, you will need to make solely small batches and use the scrub instantly. If you happen to do not, the outcome is not going to be any stronger than simply utilizing water, so that you may as nicely save your cash and simply use water.

Why Hydrogen Peroxide Should not Be Used for This Scrub

Peroxide blended with baking soda makes carbon dioxide so it is potential by storing this combination (or the vinegar and baking soda combination) you may break your container.

You additionally do not need to combine vinegar with peroxide. It would flip into peracetic acid which is corrosive and doubtlessly dangerous to you, your children, and your pets. So do not do this both. (supply)

A glass jar like a shallow mason jar or jelly jar works nicely and that is what I like to make use of (principally as a result of they’re cute–am I proper? I imply, it truly is true that mason jars make every little thing higher), however you may select a plastic container to keep away from glass breakage within the toilet.

These jars are for holding yogurt, however they’d be so cute with do-it-yourself scrub in them. Reality is, they’d be cute with ANYTHING in them.
