How To Make Mechanic's Soap/ Gardener's Soap

From Erin Huffstetler,

Tough grime deserves tough soap. Here's a cheap and easy recipe for mechanic's/ gardener's soap:

Difficulty: Easy

Time Required: 5 minutes or less

Here's How:

Fill an empty container with dish soap--enough for one hand washing or enough to wash your hands a bunch of times. The choice is yours.

Then, add corn meal to the soap--just a sprinkle for a small batch and as much as a tablespoon for a big batch.

Stir the mixture up, and rub a bit between your fingers to test the grittiness.

Add corn meal (if needed) until you reach the right consistency.

Use immediately, or store in an air-tight container for future use.
