Thats pretty neat! I would love to make my own dish soap liquid.
I think the problem for me with dish soap is that I want something that is going to break grease. Someone was making dish soap here in town and it just didn't do the job.....

I mixed a bottle's (16 oz?) worth of the batch I made from chickensintheroad with
orange, lemon & lime eo's (Smells sooo fresh - love it) and have used it for dishes a
couple times. It works. Not worth writin' home about, and I haven't had any greasy or
heavy-duty dirty dishes yet, but it cleaned the glasses & coffee cups, lunch plates &
such. It's definitely not "Dawn", tho. I wonder if adding more borax would up the
cleaning...?

Not sure. I know of one soapmaker that adds something like kerosene to clean grease out of clothes as well as dishes. Not ready to go there yet. What about adding stearic acid to the recipe and making a dedicated dish soap?

Stearic acid? Hmmm...You think? I happen to have some...I wonder...

Thank you.... it's a mix of Pop Grape and blue to create the colour. I do oil painting as well and love mixing colours. Sometimes it works and sometimes not so much.... LOL
