 Awake Eye

“Where soap scum meets its maker.”


📂 Category: AwakeWellness – Holistic Health - DIY Cleaners 

🔸 Subsection: 🧽 Core Cleaners 

🧼 Item: Heavy-Duty Bathroom Scrub 

🕵️ Code Name: Porcelain Purge


🧼 For:

Bathtubs, sinks, tile grout, and any surface that’s lost its will to shine.

💀 Truth Drop:

That thick blue bottle with the bubbles on the label? It’s usually packing sodium hypochlorite (aka bleach) and synthetic fragrance—known skin and lung irritants. And your kids are breathing it in during bath time.


✨ Soap scum might be gross. But respiratory damage? That’s corporate.


🧪 Ingredients:

  • ½ cup baking soda (mild abrasive + odor neutralizer)
  • ¼ cup liquid castile soap (like Dr. Bronner’s – choose unscented or mild)
  • 10 drops tea tree essential oil 🌿 (antimicrobial, mold-fighting hero)
  • 5 drops lemongrass oil 🍋 (natural deodorizer + grease buster)

☀️  ☀️ ☀️ ☀️

(Optional: Swap lemongrass for lavender if using around young kids)


🛠 Instructions:

1. Mix all ingredients into a thick paste.

2. Scoop or spoon onto a sponge or scrub brush.

3. Apply to surface, scrub with circular motion.

4. Let sit 5–10 minutes for tough grime.

5. Rinse thoroughly with warm water.

⚠️ Caution:

  • Essential Oils & Kids/Pets: Tea tree is powerful—avoid direct use on pet-accessed areas or rinse extra thoroughly.
  • Avoid use on natural stone (marble, granite)—the baking soda can dull surfaces over time.
  • Store unused paste in a glass jar with lid for 1–2 weeks max.

💬 If your bathroom “cleaner” says “Do not inhale”—maybe rethink your loyalty.
This scrub doesn’t just clean the grime. It clears the guilt too.
