Ingredients:
-1 tablespoon Shredded Bar Soap (castile bar soap, ivory, etc)
-1 tablespoon of white vinegar
-1 tablespoon of Arm&Hammer’s Super Washing Soda
-1/8 teaspoon of tea tree oil (optional)
-1 ½ cup of super hot water
Directions:.
1. Combine first 4 ingredients in a large bowl, then add the water. Be sure to mix/whisk well until bar soap is melted
2. Allow Mixture to cool on the counter for 8 hours, stirring occasionally.
2. Store in any dish soap dispensing bottle and use as you would the commercial brands.
Note: You may choose to naturally increase the anti-bacterial qualities of the soap by adding 1/4 tsp. of lavender or eucalyptus essential oils.
The switch to making your own household cleaning products may seem overwhelming at first, but once you establish a routine it will become second nature. From the following items, 100% of my basic cleaning needs are met:
- Borax
- Baking Soda
- Super Washing Soda
- White Vinegar
- Castile Soap
So great to know all these recipes! Thanks so much for the info. My daughter is having a lot of problems with Dawn, but my husband insists on using it. I'm definitely using this for our dish washing now!
