OK, here’s a pop quiz for you: What do your hands, an eggplant, the floor of your shower, and the Pyrex dish you baked lasagna in last night have in common? These are all things you can safely and effectively clean with Humble Suds’ Scour Cleaning Paste. And you can add tiles and grout to that list, the oven, apples, your feet, plates and utensils, and of course the sink.

Buy on Etsy, $ 15

The only thing you can’t clean with this material is untreated wood as the natural oils will penetrate and leave stains. But how much unsealed wood do you have in your house anyway?

Scour is so safe because it’s made up of things that are easy to pronounce and not terrifying, like sodium bicarbonate (AKA baking soda), castile soap (AKA hydrolyzed coconut, jojoba, and olive oil), vegetable glycerin (again a plant derived oil) as well Orange and lemongrass oils. In fact, that’s all of the ingredients.

Spread out and scrubbed with a stiff brush, Scour dissolves and removes even the toughest grime on tile walls and grout, showering river stone floors, food-encrusted pots and pans, and so on. Rubbed in gently with a soft cloth, it gives a steel stove or quartz counters shine. And as a hand soap, your skin feels soft and, as you’d expect, clean.

Now we need to talk about the smell here. Many cleaning products have a perfectly pleasant odor, while others have a smell that is … not … good. This stuff? It does not smell good. It smells good. When you brush with it, it’s like holding a bouquet of citrus flowers instead of a brush or rag. If you prefer the seductive aroma of bleach, definitely use bleach. But for the rest of us, there is Scour.
