Kimberly Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Here is another soap I have been wanting to make. The recipe I found calls for Kerosene....1 tbsp per lb. What do ya think??I dunno about Kerosene. Do you think I could use the Fullers Earth as the degreaser in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kymber Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I just bought the Fullers Earth to make some mechanic soap for my guys. From what I have heard it is GREAT! But can't really help you because I haven't tried it yet. I don't think I would want kerosene in my soap. Course in the way olden days they use to use it alot. Would dump it on their heads to kill lice.....ewwwww ICK!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heirloomoriginals Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I made a gardeners soap with Lemon and Orange EO with some cornmeal and ground pumice (from WSP) in it. I only used 2 Tbsp/2.5 lb of oils and it is very scrubby. The EO are supposed to help cut grease, plus they should elminate any scent left on the hands from grease, gas, etc.I don't think I would put kerosene in my soap!Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pixisprkl Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Here is another soap I have been wanting to make. The recipe I found calls for Kerosene....1 tbsp per lb. What do ya think??I dunno about Kerosene. Do you think I could use the Fullers Earth as the degreaser in it?I purchased CP soap with Kerosene in it at a craft show last year. I think it was called "grease monkey". Anyhow, it smells like a mechanic would...It's odd to think it cleans because it smells funky...but it was selling.Hopefully others will chime in about making it.

cowgirl Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Granted I don't know how to make CP/HP soap yet but I do know that kerosene is great for cutting oils, grease, even tar, diesel fuel is the same way, when I get tar on my car from the highway I always go to the farm and get diesel on a rag and wipe it off. Never even thought about it being in a soap, new one on me. Hopefully you could put some kind of EO (orange) in it to cut the smell ???? Now I want to purchase a bar of this soap just so I can see how it works, keep us informed kimberly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladysj Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 This is just my worth. I remember people using and pouring kerosene on their hands to remove paint, grease etc. With the amount stated in another post of 1 tbsp. pp I don't see what it would hurt especially since it can be poured directly on the skin in pure form. I think the real problem would be covering up the kerosene smell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceCarvesWax Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I think it would be a good idea to try it anyway and see how it goes. I dont like the hand cleaner/soap with grit in them.Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
