Do Peroxide or Vinegar Make This Scrub Work Higher?

In case you don’t, the end result is not going to be any stronger than simply utilizing water, so that you may as nicely save your cash and simply use water.

Peroxide combined with baking soda makes carbon dioxide so it’s potential by storing this combination (or the vinegar and baking soda combination) you would break your container.

You additionally don’t wish 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 don’t do this both. (supply)

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

These jars are for holding yogurt, however they’d be so cute with selfmade scrub in them. Fact is, they’d be cute with ANYTHING in them.
