Homemade Dish Soap

RE: Liquid Dish Soap Post By Henri (Guest Post) (03/31/2008) Is there someone that knows the formula of liquid dish soap like Sunlight, Sila, Daisy or Brilho. My partner that did the production is somewhere lost and I am sitting on a lot of raw materials. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Homemade Dish Soap Post by iBroke (18) | (01/04/2008) Contact Octagon soap. It's cheap it's in bar form. It doesn't suds up a lot. It strips grease well, and can be used to clean the floor, counters, cabinets, anything in the kitchen really. Cost about $1; it doesn't melt away fast because its hard.

Thin the detergent by adding water to it. (Thats what is in the cheap varieties... water. dont use your hard earned money to buy water. YOu can add it yourself.) Please note there is a different between soap and detergent. Detergent is what you need to wash clothing and dishes. Soap is for skin. I have extremely sensitive skin and my hands crack and bleed. My dermatologist tells me not to wear plastic or rubber gloves. They can make "dry" hands worse as they cause sweat. Its actually the water that causes the drying and cracking. I like Palmolive dishwashing detergent. Try to find the old-fashioned kind. Detergents with antibacterial agents in them hurt my hands.

It's very slippery, but it makes a good dishwashing soap. Put a couple tablespoons powder into a 2-cup bottle of water, best I can remember. Makes EXTREMELY cheap dish soap.

Thanks, Susie from Barrie, Ontario Answers: RE: Homemade Dish Soap A few sources for recipes: Easy recipe from http://www.hgtv.com/Homemade Cleaners: Save that empty dish-soap bottle, and refill it with a homemade dish soap. Fill a 22-ounce squirt bottle with Castile soap, which is a pure odorless soap. Add 15 drops of lemon or lemongrass essential oil, six drops of lavender essential oil and five drops of bergamot essential oil.
