Easy DIY Liquid Soap - Dishes, Hand, Fruits & Vegetables

This is what I've been making and using. It works quite well, for most things. When I'm washing something really greasy or oily, I still use dawn. For everything else, I use this.
It's a lot like making bar soap, except you sub out sodium hydroxide for potassium hydroxide. It won't harden completely like a bar, but will make more of a paste. This soap paste can be stored, undiluted until you are ready to use it.
When you are ready to make your soap, only use as much paste as you need, store the rest. Dilute the paste in warm water to make dish soap. If you are OK with watery dish soap, dilute at 1:5 ratio of soap paste to water. If you want something thicker and goopier go 1:1 or stronger.
It's just a step that's part of a bigger picture. Check the ingredients on things you eat and use. Ask yourself, honestly, if that's what you want. If not, check out some of my videos!

Let me know how it goes! I want to try modifying it a bit and using some castor. :) Working on a lavender soap video next!

Adding water to acid is a high risk of the stuff splashing. Not gonna end well for anything that splash hits.

Will your soap kill sponge microorganisms if you add soap at the finish of washing dishes or wiping surfaces instead of before starting? I do this with a quarter- to half-teaspoon (1 - 2 mL) of commercial soap onto the sponge followed by three or four sponge squeezes to spread it. With commercial soaps, even without unwanted/unneeded antibiotics, the sponge becomes a hostile environment for microbial growth even before the sponge is dry, it never starts to smell, and you're ready to clean the next time. If your sponge dries completely before you next use it, a bonus is that fresh water spreads through the dry sponge much more readily due to the surfactant effect. If that works for your homemade soup, I'm trying it!

I'm not sure. You'll have to try it and let me know if it meets your standards.
