Natural Scouring Paste: What It Cleans, What to Avoid & How to Use It

What's in it and how it works
Where Natural Scouring Paste works best
Stovetop and Range
Apply directly to baked-on residue, let sit for two to five minutes, scrub with a brush or damp cloth in short strokes, wipe clean. For heavy buildup, a second application and longer dwell time produce better results than more aggressive scrubbing. Works on glass-top ranges, coil burner surrounds, and gas burner grates.
Bathroom Tile and Grout
Apply to the grout line, scrub with a stiff brush, and rinse. The chelating agents work on the mineral deposits and soap scum that accumulate on tile over time. Particularly effective on shower wall tile in hard water areas where mineral buildup is ongoing.
Tub and Shower Basin
Apply, let sit, scrub, rinse. The paste handles soap scum buildup more effectively than spray cleaners because the abrasive components stay in direct contact with the deposit rather than running off the vertical surface before they can work.
Sink Basins
Both kitchen and bathroom. Apply around the drain, across the basin surface, and at the faucet base where mineral deposits tend to accumulate. Rinse thoroughly.
Toilet Bowl Above the Waterline
Apply to the porcelain above the water level, scrub, and flush. For below-the-waterline buildup, toilet bombs are more effective because they work directly in the water. The paste handles the above-waterline surface where spray cleaners tend to run off before they can work.
What Surfaces to Avoid
Natural Stone - Marble, Granite, Travertine
Anodized Aluminum
Delicate or Decorative Finishes
If you're not sure, apply to a hidden area and evaluate before cleaning the full surface. The abrasive is mild, baking soda a super fine pumice, but "mild" is relative to the finish you're cleaning.
