How to Make Homemade Goo Gone
Say Goodbye to Sticky Surfaces Around Your Home With This DIY Chemical-Free Gunk Remover
When dealing with sticky messes, instead of reaching for solutions filled with chemicals to get rid of it, make your own cleaner with two ingredients you already have in your pantry. Along with working on glass, plastic, and wood, this homemade gunk remover is so simple — and basically costs nothing to make.
What You'll Need:
- 45ml of bicarbonate of soda
- 30ml of vegetable oil
- Bowl
- Measuring spoons
- Sealable container
Directions:
- Mix together two tablespoons of vegetable oil and three tablespoons of bicarbonate of soda into a paste in a small, sealable container. The mixture is usable until it's gone and doesn't include any harsh chemicals or smells.
- To use, simply scoop a small dollop of sticky stuff and gently rub it with your fingers. The oil and bicarbonate of soda work together to gently remove the sticky residue without scratching.
- Wipe away with a paper towel, and you're sticky-free. That's it!
