Tutorials / DIY n°2: Homemade clay stone

We continue this DIY Cindy section, with a classic of natural cleaning: the clay stone. Also called "scouring stone" or "white stone" it is a 100% natural cleaning product that consists of only 4 ingredients. A natural alternative to chemical cleaners, claystone has been used for centuries to clean, degrease, shine and protect many objects and surfaces around the home.

This is used to clean many surfaces (plastic, PVC, stainless steel, mirror, enamel, tiles, silver,...) and all without scratching them! Thanks to its anti-limestone action, it will get rid of scale deposits in your bathroom.

In addition to this, its use is very economical since a jar of 150 grams of products will only cost 2.6 € and you have months of use.

So let's get back to basics with this homemade clay stone recipe!

Ingredients for the recipe:

• 90 grams of white clay
• 60 ml  liquid black soap
• 1 teaspoon of  soda crystals
• 15 drops of Tea Tree  (or Lavender ) essential oil

Steps :

• In a salad bowl, mix all the ingredients using a wooden spoon (so as not to alter the properties of the white clay).
• Put the preparation in a  pot of about 200 ml (preferably opaque).
