Solid Dish Cake [Cake Vaisselle] Zero Waste

Now available online! www.lafilledelamer.com A solid dish cake to replace that plastic bottle of liquid detergent in your kitchen! Learn how to make the famous « Cake Vaisselle » with me and help the planet by reducing your ecological footprint! One single jar of Solid Dish Cake can last for months, reducing the use of disposable plastic bottles! The "cake vaisselle" concept came from Europe, but was most likely inspired by South America's Concentrated Dishwashing Pastes! In this video, I am presenting my version of this wonderful and eco friendly product.
If you use these formulas, please give credit where it is due. Peace.
The recipe no.1 for 3 jars of 250 grams (SCI is milder and creates a bit less bubbles but still washes very well):
550 grams of Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI)
148 grams of distilled water
48 grams of white vinegar
65 grams of sodium carbonate
5 grams lemon essential oil
2.5 grams tea tree essential oil
Variation no.2 for 3 jars of 250 grams (SCS tends to create a bit more bubbles):
250 grams Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate
300 grams Sodium Coco Sulfate (SCS)
140 grams distilled water
73 grams white vinegar
65 grams sodium carbonate
5 grams of mandarin essential oil
2.5 grams lavender essential oil

[@reflexology52welsh48]

Wasn’t sure how you use it, do you just take a little hunk out and put it in water? If so about how much?

[@ArianeArsenault]

Reflexology52 Welsh you simply take a wet sponge or scrubby and rub it on top of the “cake” and then use it to clean! 🧼

[@TheMssassyangel]

You can use it that way as well. There’s really no wrong way to use it. Whatever way you clean your dishes you can substitute the dish soap for this solid dish soap except in this dishwasher this isn’t good for that.

[@hilaryquinn8673]

Thanks for sharing and making this great video. Curious to see which version you like best?

[@codybrookehanson2346]

My husband just asked me a few days ago how to make my own dish detergent and I happened across your video by chance today 😊 thank you so much for the information!

[@annen8140]

I finally had time to make this and I LOVE IT!!! I used orange EO and tea tree in recipe No 2. I calculated how much $$$ I’ll save PLUS I can get rid of another plastic container in my household! Woop woop!

[@carolkhoo4129]

Thank you so much for such a detailed video and generously sharing the recipe!

[@chrisdarry-roseelrod4481]

I'm going to add this to my repertoire. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you so much for sharing - this is a great sounding product and I can't wait to try. ❤

[@CutestHeidi]

You are such a dear sweetheart of a person. Your smile brightens the day!

[@alteredLori]

Awesome idea!!! You are an inspiration to all of us! You kicked started me again after being ill! Thanks for all you do for us! La Fille dela mer ROCKS!

[@ArianeArsenault]

Thank you Lori, I appreciate and hope you are back on your feet. :-)

[@hliew0]

Hi there, just wanna thank you for sharing your recipe with me. I made recipe no. 2 and it turned out wonderful! Thank you so much!

[@christab3972]

What a great idea! Love this- I will for sure have to try this out!!!! Thanks for another great & creative video!

[@xxCrystalsAmazingxx]

I love watching your videos at night they are so soothing and calming and put me to sleep (in a good way) I also watch them during the day because your videos are so much more informative and raw than other soap makers! Keep up the great work from New Jersey!

[@la1163]

I made the first one, the other one couldn't find the scs on amazon. I didn't want to go all over the internet looking for just one ingredient. It came out just as good. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

[@shimonarajkumar4179]

So glad you actually shared the recipe

[@lenandsusan]

I saw this an immediately started researching. How this product has escaped my viewing all these years, I have no idea. Awesome product and I can’t wait to make it. Thank you!

[@ArianeArsenault]

Susan P when I discovered, I had the exact same thought! 🤦‍♀️

[@rachel642]

Love this. I’m trying to be zero/low waste and I didn’t know what I could do for dishes besides buying in bulk so this is great I’d love to try it

[@jperrocks5712]

Also coconut oil bar soap works well!!!

[@Bellessentials]

Love this idea!!😁💗 I love mason jars! They are very versatile!🧼👏🏼

[@lkrsoapandsuch5767]

Such a great idea. Thank you for sharing your recipe. 😊

[@khfam6539]

Thank you, it is a very beautiful recipe, environment friendly. I will definitely try it at home. Love and best wishes for you from Nevada.

[@joaniegiard9915]

Merci pour le partage de la recette ! J'adore ta chaîne, toujours plein de bonne idée.

[@MusicalMoodRing]

This is almost like the solid makeup brush cleaners. This is a neat concept! Thanks for sharing 😊

[@AraTheAqua]

I love that you are making this!! I also make shampoo bars and have been hoping to come across a dish tablet recipe!! Ty for sharing ❤❤

[@brandypayne8781]

💖💞So amazing. I love using natural soaps and such for dishes and clothes washing. Thank you for sharing💞💖

[@TheFraggler]

I have never heard of dish cake. I've been looking for stuff that's more eco friendly. I am very interested in this.

[@patriciaisabelleblack911]

You're so relaxing to watch! I'd love to make soap for myself since I'm so sensitive to product.

[@Sandrishify]

The pottery containers will be a great companion for your cake vaisselle. Thank you for sharing the recipe. I can't wait to try it, especially since our dishwashing machine is broken. I see a lot of dishwashing in my near future. Never had a machine in my entire life but it was an old one given to us. Figured we'd try it. Didn't last long! Back to cleaning it is!

[@GodzHarleyGirlStudio]

Ariane, this is fantastic! You're a perfect soapmaker to help lead us into more ecological soapmaking! I love this. Thanks so much for caring for our environment! Hugz, Tree PS the mitten is called "pot holder" in English!

[@ArianeArsenault]

GodzHarleyGirl Studio oh thanks! Hehe Pot Holder! I knew it would be funny to keep this in the video

[@beccaswanson6724]

Awesome product. Thanks for the recipe and links.

[@rokhush]

Wow. Love these options....

[@sbautista1012]

I bought this at a farmer's market a couple months ago and absolutely LOVE it!! Only thing...we used it EVERYDAY (no dishwasher here) so it didn't last 6 months. This is so interesting and I just wish it was locally available and wish it could last longer!

[@evehsv5556]

Amazing Ariane great creative thinking awesome. Thank you.

[@chloefox9177]

Loved this video :) very kind of you to share ❤️

[@jillgross543]

Thank you, I've been wanting to do homemade laundry detergent for a while now. It is really expensive here in the States and there are so many good recipes out there! This looked very interesting, so another thing to add to my ever growing list!

[@3PairDesigns]

Ariane, how fun and helpful and eco-friendly! I have been trying to find something along these lines as well. Thank you, thank you! Very excited to try this and perhaps add it to my line as well! :-)

[@hedgerow.homestead]

Yes! I want one right now!!

[@moodybloomscraftsandfloral]

Beautiful!

[@mysticalrainbow1342]

Love this!

[@KitchenWytch]

This was great! I love this. And pot holder is what we call them in Missouri.

[@lindachandler2293]

In Kentucky USA, in the 1950's, we never bought dish detergent. We made simple lye soap and used it for everything requiring soap from dishes to hair. Mine doesn't lather as much as conventional soap, but cleans just fine. I still use it today. I don't have city water so I don't run it to rinse. I use 2 wash clothes; not nearly as complicated as it sounds. One I keep suds up for the initial lather/scrub of the dish. Then rather than let the suds wash out and dilute in my very hot dish water I lay it on the side of the sink and rinse the suds off partially. A pan of rinse water with a dash of vinegar has a second dish rag that I use to make sure the dish is thoroughly rinsed before putting it in the drain rack. It only takes a little while to get used to this method, saves me money and gives me a since of satisfaction knowing I have recycled and wasted very little.

[@JenSpice]

Love it Ariane! I read Marie's post too and was very interested. There are quite a few different surfactants I want to try. Thanks so much for the recipes. I also have these ingredients on hand :)Jen

[@caroleheidema1564]

Found it Thank you so much going to try this today.

[@rubyblack6682]

Lemon is my favorite scent 😍

[@lorraineburns8436]

I bought this a couple of years ago with the special ceramic container and I loved the dish cake. I am so glad to have found the recipe you used, since it doesn't appear on your website.

[@lorraineburns8436]

Actually, I found it once I knew to call it dish cake!

[@boycendovorogwa6496]

great stuff lots of love

[@emilyj8967]

This was AWESOME -- thank you so much for taking the time to describe everything so thoroughly! I'm very excited to try this for myself, and I'm looking forward to more videos (just subscribed). We need more zero-waste products in the world!

[@maycuarecamacho]

Yehey! Would like to try that, I make and sell dishwashing liquid soap, love to add that on my list, thanks for sharing, love it! 😍

[@lauriehall3283]

Love your videos Ariane! This one is so timely as I would like to make a dish soap for some hikers going on a long trail. Thank you!

[@ArianeArsenault]

Laurie Hall oh I bet this would be very useful on a hike! I would maybe pack it in the smaller mason jars.

[@lauriehall3283]

Ariane Arsenault yes, a smaller container for sure as I bet wright will be a factor for their packs. Thanks again!

[@tsford69]

So exciting!!!

[@suec.5840]

Love it!

[@medhapophalkar6318]

Wow, this really great

[@liellesoaps7456]

You are really a jewel. I was just doing some research for a dish bar soap and your channel popped up ( since I watch you often I guess 🥰) I should have looked for you first!

[@annetteleggett9854]

As someone who regularly knocks over the bottle of dish soap (either partially or fully open) I think this is a brilliant!

[@Loulou_et_Effi]

Moi je fais mon liquide vaisselle avec le savon de Marseille. C'est top. Je l'utilise depuis 3 ans. Mais je vais essayer avec SCI - que j'utilise actuellement pour fabriquer les shampooings. Merci d'avoir partagé votre recette, c'est adorable 😍

[@lrach3820]

I used Marie's (humblebee) recipe using d-limonene and it's wonderful! Thank you for sharing your recipe.

[@ArianeArsenault]

Lesley Logbeck Marie is a personal friend and when I chatted with her about this she told me she had published a video of making similar product. Her version also looks awesome! I will surely give it a try too ♥️

[@daisyflower5815]

In my country there have this kind of solid dish washer. I like to use them but my mom didn't. It's maybe takes time to lather compared to the liquid version, but I like the scratchy texture when cleaning dishes.

[@almamater7860]

My grandma used some kind of Castile soap or Marseille soap for many things around the house here in Europe. It was made in the region and I loved the smell. It was solid, of course.

[@jesidillon4593]

So interesting. How would u describe the smell? Maybe had some herbs in it?

[@big4metalbabe]

Great video. Love it.

[@DuluthTW]

Wonderful!

[@natyc81]

Wow xoxo I will try and of course 1000000% credits for you 🥰🥰🥰🥰Thanks 😊 bubbles yes yes

[@barbiescraft]

Great tutorial

[@longarmsupplies]

Thanks for sharing this. I'm going to get some made up.....great time to find this. :) and you're doing an awesome job with English. I sure appreciate you speaking english for me.

[@DawsontwinA]

You've put so much research into this so that I don't have to. You're amazing! Have you considering publishing an e-book? I would love to support you for sharing such wonderful information!

[@soozsoaps1012]

This looks fantastic. Thank you for sharing your recipe too. 😀

[@tainalady]

I cannnot find the recipe

[@sharifapatel6393]

[@tielasnaturalsoapsllc8022]

It's called a pot holder. I love your videos.

[@muthukumarmuthu8393]

Thank you sister

[@chrisdejade4530]

Merci a vous!

[@the1andonlytrav]

I believe they are just called pot holders in English. 😊

[@traciademello4460]

merci, Ariane

[@RJU53]

I made this, version 2, and it works amazingly well; we have very hard water that leaves a lot of spots. This cleaner leaves everything shining and like new. LOVE it. I do wonder, would SLS work in the version 2? I usually buy from Amazon and can't find SCS there and I want to avaid having to order from mulitple sources. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recipe. Making xmas gifts to share!

[@dipankardey6409]

Thank u soooo much for the recipe i will make it nd definitely going tag u on social media lots of love😘😘

[@KindKay]

It good for cleaning drains too and clothes

[@deegee9221]

That looks like the process for making hot processed soap, the videos I've seen have the soap makers using crock pots to "melt" their soaps. That texture looks exactly like the texture of the hot processed soaps I've seen, theirs might be a little chunkier.

[@rhondabirchfield1558]

Very awesome

[@vetrivera7]

Merci beaucoup, je ne l'avais jamais vue.

[@renatonovas6185]

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing! really, we need to improve this planet. One suggestion: If you use a confectionery bag to pack the product, it can make the job easier.

[@ArianeArsenault]

renato novas thanks, I have confectioners bags but I am very quick with the spoon! 😃 years and years of practice!

[@mariannemay2669]

Yes please

[@kristinabenson2758]

Hot pad or pot holder is what I’ve always called it.

[@marynelson4477]

In English we call it a hot pad or the glove an oven mitt. Thanks for the great video!

[@conchitavaldemont6599]

Axion solid dish paste exist in Mexico since 1971 till this day, it is very popular.

[@kasie680]

I can remember my mum telling me that they used a cake of sunlight soap for washing the dishes in the 60s, it was the same soap for washing clothes and washing yourself you just had different bars

[@thickemsup1135]

I want to try this, if it is available tomorrow!!

[@mohaminea]

washing soda or sodium carbonate is (PH+for pool)you can find in Canadian tire

[@melindaduncan3073]

I call the mittens, pot holders. I need to order the noodles and make this recipe. I’ve been looking for a good recipe and my parents live me and the like the bubbles.

[@rochelles820]

I will like one in the pottery! Will you be making refill dish cakes for the pottery then? 🤗

[@nedalindsey6111]

wow

[@MTSwem]

I was looking at the % of ingredients and they total over 100%, unless I miscalculated? Enjoy your videos...Thank You!

[@utitars-hangoskonyv]

Hey Ariane, I prepared variation no 2., and I LOVE IT!!! Thank you for sharing this recipe, it washes much better than the usual bio liquid soap that I'll never ever buy again :-D

[@beelover2827]

How long it lasts?

[@sosomo765]

Hi Ariane, love your solid dish soap. If I wanted to make the dish soap without a container would I need to adjust the recipe and if yes would you share how. thank you

[@mimist439]

Hi Ariana. I love this idea. Also, your labels are really lovely. Can you share where you order them from, or do you print yourself?

[@NurseMickiLea]

I would love a lavender and mint or rosemary version.

[@betsysutton9929]

I think it’s a variation of Savon de Marseilles (I just got some to try out before I saw this!!)

[@hliew0]

Hey there, I am wondering if I was to leave the paste to dry in a silicon soap mould, would it come out nicely once it's dry? Thanks!!

[@danaliz12]

Great upper body workout 💪 Bright side of making soap... its soap haha

[@ArianeArsenault]

Edesia A oh yeah!

[@chloefox9177]

I am very impressed. You are very inspiring person. Very nice recipe. Why washing soda and not baking soda? Thanks

[@sugarplumfairy2793]

Pot Holder. Love it💞

[@ddrlbhski6438]

Will make this as soon as I get the SCI. Don't know if you monitor the older videos, but where did you buy the wide mouth mason Jars? I can't find those anywhere.

[@hilaryquinn8673]

These are awesome! Do you not need a preservative? Thanks!

[@gaya0607]

this is great! I wonder... can I use it without gloves?

[@sylviagray4206]

Hi Ariane: I saw on one post that you should add a preservative, since it contains water. Did you add a preservative or do you feel you don't need one.

[@RJU53]

Is a preservative needed, and how would it be added? Is it easy to mix into the mixture? Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe. Making for xmas for family.
