OH MY GOODNESS! What a mess this made. I'm not blaming the creator of this mixture. Many of the homemade recipes I get on line fail to turn out well. Please tell me what I did wrong. I followed the exact recipe given and put the mixture in a canning jar. The next morning the soap had settled into a half solid, half liquid combination. I shook it and then used it, but the Ivory flakes would not dissolve. (They had done so when I first made the mixture the night before. ) I tried microwaving it, and the Ivory STILL did not dissolve. The portion that I used to wash dishes actually left globs of Ivory in the drain that remained until the next day when I scooped them out. (If you've ever dropped a sliver of soap in the shower or tub, you know what I'm talking about. It STAYS!) Today I shook and then microwaved the mixture and used it again. What remained in the jar turned solid again within minutes. At the rate I'm going, the jar will be empty within a few more days!

If anyone uses essential oil make sure your jar is amber or dark because essential oil is sensitive to light and its effectiveness diminishes with light.

I looked at 4 videos on making dish soap, add this, add that. one lady had her 2 daughters in her video. and she took a long time explaining how to make it, one video he added epison salt . and I like yours, short and simple. Question ,my dermatologist told me to use either dove soap or Olay soap, because Ivory soap dried my skin, I've been using it for a long time, now they came out with a plant base soap. and I ordered a set from Amazon. that's the only soap I have right now. can I use

I usually use straight oil on my feet. I haven't bought lotion in a long time. I rub them down in coconut oil and rest them on a towel while I read or watch a movie. After they have time to soak in some of the oil I wipe them off with a dry towel. That towel is used just for that purpose as it gets greasy over time.

Thank you for the wonderful easy recipe that even I can do! Can't wait to try it! I found an easier way to clean dishes without getting the dishwater dirty (or way less dirty) and using much less water and soap! Start with your dirty dishes NOT in the sink, but on the counter. Clean your sink, this will be your rinsing area. Put your small amount of soapy water again, NOT in the sink, but in a bowl or small bucket on the countertop next to the sink. I use a scrubbie sponge, so you soak that in the soapy water, squeeze it out, grab a dish, soap and scrub, toss the scrubbie back into the clean soapy water. Place the now clean, but soapy, dish in the sink. Once you have a sink full of clean but still soapy dishes, rinse them all at once and and put it in the rack! Start again if needed.

I love your video and want to make my own dish soap due to my coconut allergy and sensitivity to all fragrances, including essential oils. However, I am allergic to coconut (Ivory has sodium cocoate which is made by combining a mixture of fatty acid salts derived by reacting coconut oil with sodium hydroxide) as well as Ivory's signature fragrance that they put in their bar soap. Any suggestions on how to find a bar soap (or soap flakes) that does not contain coconut, coconut derivatives, and fragrance? Unfortunately, coconut and its derivatives are in almost everything that is made.

@sustainableslowliving 3 ай бұрын
The two bar soaps that I use that are commercially available have coconut in them. I would find a local soap maker and work with them to get a bar that you can use. It's been years since I've made my own bars but I didn't use any coconut products when I did. Alternatively, you can research a bit and make your own bars. It's not a hard process. Just one that requires mindfulness because of the lye. Cold process soap needs time to cure. But hot process can be used right away. It doesn't have a long shelf life like cold process soap does. So very few people make it to sell. But I sold it. The shelf life is suitable for those who use their soap. Just not for those who want it to sit pretty in their bathroom. It would work well for your purposes.

I make my own powdered laundry soap. I've checked out lots of channels where they make laundry soap/detergent. Some say you don't need baking soda if you use washing soda because washing soda is baking soda. But I use both. I super finely grate a 5 oz. bar of plant-based soap.....it's very , very hard soap. I can't stand the smell of Fels Naptha or Zote....so I never use those. My home made laundry soap works great for us. Has never harmed our washing machine. Some people claim home made soaps will hurt the machine. My machine is nearly 10 years old. One thing I'd like to recommend.....leave your washing machine door or lid OPEN after you've finished doing laundry. It's damp in there & needs to dry out thoroughly. I strongly suspect that people who complain about their laundry not smelling good is because they might have mold inside their machine from always closing the lid/door. Also, a lot of people use WAY too much detergent. That causes all sorts of problems. A couple tablespoons is plenty for a large load, believe it or not.

@@patwagner9308 Thank you for clarifying. I did understand though. Maybe I was unclear. I hear people have problems with their machines. I often wonder why that is the buzz. I don't have any personal experience with it because I prefer old machines. So I've always had one. I appreciate hearing your experience. I suspect there are many who have had the same. And if they all spoke up it would drown out the negative reports. It could be that the negative reports are more closely related to the decline in production quality over the years. I think it is more likely to have trouble with machines in general. And it gets blamed on the homemade detergent.
