The product called “original” contains only feldspar. For other products, the Bon Ami website lists the following as main ingredients: feldspar, limestone, water, baking soda, citric acid, corn alcohol, epsom salts, essential oils, and xanthan gum.
I made dish washing detergent similar to Bon Ami (evidently). I didn’t do much for my dishes, but it’s a fantastic general cleaner and makes my sink look like new.
I did use powdered vinegar in it though, which activates energetically with just the water on the surface of the sink.
also, if you have hard water and want to clean all your crusty bits use
1 cup of hot vinegar
2-3 Tsp citric acid
mix until all the citric acid is dissolved and then soak in the liquid. agitation/friction helps break it down faster.
this mix cleaned calcium off my granite sink countertops that couldn’t be removed after 10 years of trying. used a paper towel and soaked the area to sit for around 10 minutes.
