Belle's Challenge - Day 5 - Make Your Own Dishwashing Liquid

Posted in Make Your Own

Here are two dishwashing liquid recipes that I found on http://www.healthy-home-cleaning-tips.com/make-your-own.html.  I haven't tried them yet but plan to as soon as I use up what I have. 

 

 

Make Your Own Dishwashing liquids:

1/4 cup soap flakes
2 cups hot water
1/4 cup glycerin
1/2 teaspoon lemon essential oil

1) In bowl combine soap flakes and water and stir until the soap is dissolved. Cool to luke warm.
2) Stir in the glycerin and the essential oil, leave to cool. As it cools it will form a loose gel. Stir with a fork and break up the gel and then pour into a narrow-necked bottle. An old shampoo bottle makes an excellent container.
3) To use, squirt 3 teaspoonfuls into hot running water.

 

 

liquid castile soap
10 drops lavender essential oil
8 drops rosemary essential oil
4 drops eucalyptus essential oil

1) Fill a clean 22-ounce plastic squirt bottle with castile soap (diluted according to directions if using concentrate).
2) Add the essential oils.
3) To use, squirt 3 teaspoonfuls into hot running water.

Thank you! I have been looking for a liquid dish soap recipe and have been asked for one by another blogger. I told her today that I was going to post a request to see if anyone had a recipe. I think you must have read our minds.LOL
