    the Natural way to remove soap scum and mould????

    Hi there,
    anyone know the Natural way to remove soap scum and mould???? I use bi-carb and vinegar on most things but read somewhere that vinegar can eat away at the grout in the tiles???? Any solutions greatly welcomed!

    Try either new directions or sydney essential oil company. They wholesale but also supply direct to public in small (and large) quantities, their quality is fantastic, and their prices are much better than the chemist and health food brands like nature's garden. ETA: from memory, I pay between $11 - $20 per 100ml for each of my most commonly used household oils (lavender, tea-tree, eucalyptus radiata, clove bud). 100ml bottles are HUGE, most of the store bought brands are either the small 12ml bottles, and I've occasionally seen 25ml bottles.

    I made a paste of Borax & water and put a few drops of oil of cloves in that. It worked ok but I think just rubbing the oil on it an leaving it overnight will work better. I'm off to try that again.
