angel110280 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I am just getting started about making soap. I called my local hardware store. They told me they had it. When I got there it said Household 100% Lye Drain Opener. I was wondering if I could us that to make Lye soap or what is it that I will need. Thank you to anyone for there helpful hints.

doris Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 As long as it's 100% lye with no other additives it should be OK. Although I've read that most lye is not pure. What you want to stay away from is stuff like Drano. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavenScentU Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 The ingredients should say only Sodium Hydroxide, which is Lye. There shouldn't be any other ingredients listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michi Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Yep, like the others stated, as long as it's only ingredient is lye/caustic soda ash then that's what you're looking for.I use the Roebic Crystal Drain Opener and get it from Lowes.
