For a majority of uses, the following directions apply:
First, wet the area to be cleaned with Humble Suds All Purpose cleaner or water. Then, scoop out a small amount of Scour with a clean spoon. (It's best not to introduce new bacteria into the container by using your hands or dirty sponges.) Sprinkle around the surface and scrub with a sponge in circular motions.
Lastly, rinse well.
Note: we highly recommend starting with a small amount and adding more only as needed. Since it is baking soda based, too much can result in residue, particularly on a stovetop or in an oven. A little goes a long way.
Scour is a non-abrasive product but If you are looking for something with more grit, after scooping out the Scour, you can add kosher salt to your surface prior tp scrubbing, Do not put salt into the Scour container.
To best preserve your Scour, check to ensure the lid is on your jar securely. This will prevent unwanted drying. Also, try to keep water out of the container when using it. If your Scour has hardened from time or accidental overexposure, break up the mixture slightly with a utensil and add simply a teaspoon of water at a time until soft and usable.
Scour uses the power of baking soda combined with plant-based castile soap and essential oils to cut through the film on your tile and grout as well as polish and deodorize your sinks and tubs.
