Dish Soap CP

[Zany_in_CO]

Dish Soap Recipe compliments of Tanya of Lovely Greens:

A homemade dish soap that you can use for washing pots, pans, and dishes. It's ready to use two days after making it and is a great zero-waste cleaning product for the natural home. We also use citric acid in this recipe at a rate of 3% of the main soaping oils and because it neutralizes some of the lye, we compensate for the difference. Creates 4-6 solid white bars that last a long time and create thick, cleansing lather.

Thank you, Zany. Have you tried the recipe?

Thank you, Zany. Have you tried the recipe?

Not yet. I use a sponge and a foamer to hand wash dishes. That being said, I like the look of this recipe -- it's on my "Round Tuit" list to try.

I haven’t tried making dish soap yet. One would just wear gloves, right?

 

[Zany_in_CO]

I don't know about others, but yes, I do wear gloves when washing up.

I always wear gloves washing soap making dishes, but not for kitchen dishes.

I only wear glove while washing up soapmaking dishes, too, TashaBird, but I also do not use 100% CO soap as my dishwashing soap. If I did, I would wear gloves while using that soap because it can be so harsh on my skin.
