Most commercial dish-soaps are soap concentrate, colouring, and water, so this is a good lesson in the usefulness of basic soaps, or their homemade counterparts.

[@joycefortunato827]

How beautiful and green your lawn looks and the blooming of all the trees. The rain makes everything grow so beautifully. We have squirrels in my yard that love to dig up our tomato and basil plants. This was a great idea for making your own dish soap, I ordered two bottles of dish soap two weeks ago and they haven’t even been shipped yet. It’s insanity out there. Everyone is buying up all of the laundry soap and dish soap like it’s liquid gold or something. I wish this would end soon, I want my normal life back again! Have a wonderful evening Tessie and thanks for another great video. Please stay safe!💕

[@teresaroman3348]

Has it been a year since we last saw that beautiful Azalea blooming? Wow, time does fly. Love and hugs.

It is pouring rain here and the wind is blowing hard. Your yard and plants are looking beautiful. My moma used bar soap to wash dishes with for years. Have a blessed day.

[@xanadu1jw]

I just rub my sponge/scrubbie on a bar of soap and wash my dishes that way like I read that a lot of people in Europe do. Works great! You have a really pretty yard and deck!

[@Dean12346]

Oh that's a great idea 😊

[@ibislife]

Good evening Tessie, I use Castile soap, and distilled water for dish soap, you can pour this into a spray bottle. I use Castile soap for everything from dog wash to cleaning my car, and my favorite is foaming hand soap. 😊

Tessie, your yard and deck are looking amazing.... really beautiful. I have learned so much from you.

Thank you for making videos everyday. I look forward to them EVERYDAY. You are the only KZbinr that I watch everyday. Thank you for teaching me so many new things, thank you for teaching me to be proud of what I have and who I am, thank you for just being you. I truly thank you... you have changed my life.

Squirrels are digging in my pot too! Had planted lettuce and kale seeds in pots and they are all dug up. If that isn't sweet william in that pot, maybe it's dianthesis...they get little flat flowers and smell like carnations. I say this because I had a pot of them last year and kept the pot outside and all of a sudden it greened up and looks full. The petals are thin, but stems are full.

[@ellenfisher6341]

Tessie, you should try & root some of that beautiful Azalea. Just find a branch that's laying on or close to the ground, gently pull it down, till it touches the soil, then lay a heavy rock on it & in a few months you will have another Azalea, just cut it from the Mother , dig it out & plant it ! I do my Azaleas, Rhodies, etc like that a lot ! We love our free plants ! We are supposed to have heavy thunderstorms here late tonight & tomorrow morning, with a flash flood warning !

Tammy Hanson, I mix baking soda, bentonite clay, activated charcoal together. Add a few drops of of peppermint or spearmint essential oil for flavor. If you have a periodontal disease in your mouth you could even add a few drops of tea tree oil or thieves oil. If you use the thieves oil you can drop off the peppermint or spearmint.

[@dedeblakeney5000]

Thank you Tessie! I have made laundry soap and haven't even thought about making dish soap! Most soaps on the market I am allergic too. And while I do use gloves - it is just not enough. Stuff just happens, soap not rinsed well out of the rag, etc. I am definitely going to be doing this. 😄. Sometimes you just have to draw me a picture 😂. I know that suds absolutely doesn't clean, and I know it is a mental thing, but I must have my suds....I have no idea why. Stay safe and healthy.

[@denisestathatos4147]

Homemade is better because you know what goes into what we use!

I have made dish soap for 2 years now. To be honest I like suds lol. I started adding Dawn to all my containers because my soap didn't cut grease even with Borax. But, I've saved a lot of money making dish and laundry soap. Thanx Tess for your great vids. They say adding glycerin stops the soap from thickening but I agree with you just add water

[@mollysmith6055]

Love this video, thank you Theresa. After losing 3 parents recently we've inherited bars of 'fancy' soaps. My idea is to grate them, turn into liquid soap so this will really help! I never keep Tea Tree oil because we have cats and it is HIGHLY toxic to them. Your yard, garden and shrubs are beautiful! We've had a very dry Spring so we've had to water regularly and it isn't as lush looking as your property. Since my mom passed in December we have to get her home ready to sell and sadly, buyers here don't like mature landscaping so we must prune severely. That has made hubby and I think we need to prune heavily too in case our home might need to sell unexpectedly. You never know with the current virus. I'm happy that several of the folks' shrubs are 60 yrs old and still healthy, vibrant and young looking. Young buyers will hopefully not know just how old those shrubs really are! Their lot has a big yard for a garden too in case young buyers might be interested. I hope someone interested in being able to live off a big piece of suburban land gets it and has the smarts to find videos like yours to give them the education to get the most out of it for their family.
