Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Baking Soda Cream Cleaner is a baking-soda-based abrasive cream designed as a gentle, all-purpose scouring paste. The formula combines baking soda with plant-derived ingredients and a signature Lemon Verbena scent (botanical, fresh, mild). It's marketed as scratch-free, making it suitable for cookware, stainless steel, ceramic, tile, and glass — though avoid natural stone and mirrors. The cream consistency requires light rubbing and thorough rinsing. Favored by eco-conscious households seeking a softer alternative to mineral-based pastes like Bar Keepers Friend or The Pink Stuff, Mrs. Meyer's prioritizes hand-gentleness and plant-based ingredients over maximum abrasive power. At ~$0.19/fl oz on sale and sold in 16 fl oz tubs, it offers solid value for light-to-moderate cleaning tasks, though it may underperform on heavy baked-on grime or rust compared to stronger formulas.
