@AldrickTanithАй бұрын
Haha! I literally just made my first bar of soap as well for homemade laundry detergent (100% coconut oil soap). Suddenly, I had all the dirty equipment, and I realized that I had focused so much on learning the actual soap making that I had overlooked the clean up! I'm so thankful to Elly for all this valuable information!

Another option is to use a a very clean towel, tea towel size, or one of your choosing based on the amount of things to clean up. Either wet or dry, and using a small section of the towel, wipe out, off, as much as you can, per item. Move to a clean section of the towel and continue to each piece. You can set the dishes and utensils etc aside to Rinse as this video suggested, but if you need your items sooner, wiping them with a towel makes the cleanup sooner. Keep the towel for the same amount of soap curation you would normally. Pin a note or keep it, stored safely near your curing Soap. When it's ready, throw it in the washer to wash towels or other household items. Depending on your recipe this might not be suitable for your clothes, because of Super fats etc that could stain clothes. But for other things that wouldn't be an issue, it's a way to save on washing powder etc. Thanks for sharing this.

@@emerencespringer Great idea, I thought to wipe my stick blender off but I like your idea of wiping everything down. I need to know what to do with the container I mixed my lye solution in and the one that had the dry caustic soda, do I rinse them at the same time in the sink? Will they hurt my pipes?
@emerencespringer3 жыл бұрын
@@marymcandrew7667 ... If your talking about the container that you had the dry lye and it's now empty, and the container that you mix the lye and your liquid?. If that's what you mean, yes, safely Rinse those immediately, and it "shouldn't" affect your pipes, I say shouldn't because I don't know what type of pipes or plumbing system you have. Technically, lye is mainly used in drain cleaner and in those oven cleaner spray cans. The towel idea isn't mine, I'm just sharing it. Another one is to have a designated container just for lye. One to measure and One to Mix. Rinse right away, just in case. Hope you have a great day.

@EllysEverydaySoapMaking5 жыл бұрын
Hi there, I just rinse the lye solution container out with water as soon as I've poured it into the oils. That way I know there's no lye solution hanging around my kitchen that I could accidentally touch. There's no issue with putting lye solution down the drain, in fact it will help to clean it out. It's just the oily soap batter that's the problem. You don't have to worry about your paper towels either, you can just put them straight into the rubbish. As long as no children or pets are likely to go digging through it. If it's just soap batter on your paper towels this too will become soap in a day or two.

No it wont hurt your pipes, just rinse with water.

Thank you for this helpful video. What do you do with the soap batter water that you washed off the stick blender ?

I scrape off as much as I can first, then wiz it in some hot soapy water, then tip that down the sink. There's only a tiny amount of oil left after I've scraped it off. You can also wipe it with a paper towel and put that in the bin.

Hi elly!!! I love love love your soap making videos, you’ve taught me so much I’m so excited to start my own soap journey. Where would I be able to find those plastic containers with the measuring?! I want to make sure I get the appropriate materials for mixing the lye water… not sure which materials are heat resistant enough. Thanks again 😊
