Hi y’all! I’m new. Here and to soapmaking. 😅. I’ve seen so much amazing info in my two days on this forum, so first want to say thanks for all your experience and great knowledge you share. You make a daunting project seem less so. Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere, I just didn’t find...

I recon it’s a Scandinavian thing with lathering up our pine floors - I have already made a cleansing, just slightly superfatted lye/lard batch that cleans like a dream, but I want to add a whitening compound. Titanium oxide perhaps? Normally a white soap here in DK will be liquid, so I dont...

How do you clean up after soap making? I get lumps and chunks in the measuring cups after i pour it into the mould. Do i just flush them down the drain? I'm afraid that it is going to choke the pipes. Or am i doing something wrong that is causing it to have a mash potato texture?

I am new to CP soap making. I used a #5 plastic container to mix the lye solution. There was a hard crust at the bottom that I couldn't get out with the spatula. Plus, how does one clean up the container? I ended up throwing it away, but that's not right, nor good for the environment.

I did my first MP soaps....I have dried soap base on the Pyrex cup and my spatulas and other utensils that I used to make my 4 bars and I can't see myself scrapping the dried soap off any more then I have been. How do you get that dried soap off. Is putting it in hot water enough? will it...
