When making potions it's especially important to clean up after yourself. To quote a Harry Potter Book (Book 5, page 484)"A clean cauldron keeps potions from becoming poisons". This is a simple scouring potion that prevents potions from becoming poisons if used correctly

1 part salt
1 part citric acid
1 part baking soda
3 drops lavender oil
3 drops rosemary oil

Use this potion to scour (i.e. clean) cauldrons, pots, pans, and dutch ovens. I don't recommend adding it to potions because it will just make them nasty. Clean the vessel you have used to make potions thoroughly, you do not want to taste remnants of the potion or salt.
