tracyscandlecreation Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Hello everyone!! I have a question that's been puzzling me. Is there a recipe for making liquid soap for washing dishes? I've been making CPHP for awhile and the question was posed to me recently. I honestly don't have an answer.If anyone can help that would be fantastic!!!TIA,Tracy:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecandlespastore Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Maybe a regular liquid soap with orange essential oil added.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracyscandlecreation Posted September 14, 2007 Author Share Posted September 14, 2007 Would the same recipe for a soap body bar be ok to use for washing dishes though? I want to make some that won't leave any residue or food left on my dishes. Something that's strong enough to remove grease, yet won't be too harsh.Orange essential oil would smell great!!

Sara Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Have you googled it? Probably some of the crunchy-granola sites have people doing this, but maybe not?I've never made liquid so I have no clue. If you do already make liquid, I'd try it on some of your dishes (ones ya don't care much for, of coarse) and see how it pans out. Tweak as necessary. Ya never know, you might be onto the next new thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tea Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 I know when I am making liquid laundry soap, that it has a very low super fat level. Tallow is also supposed to be a good "cleaning" soap. So make a liquid soap with say tallow and olive might be a place to start. Or even start with a soap bar and make that into a gel?I remember we used to use a very hard piece of soap in a wire frame for the dished, that was swished around iin the water. I was wanting to try a pure tallow soap, with very low sf, and see if that worked.Let me know what you discover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 i know a lot of people who use (and like) dr. bronners liquid soap for their dishes, so i'm sure it would work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
