How To Make Homemade Dish Soap From Home

Have you ever wondered how to make homemade dish soap? 

This is a big mystery for most of us, but I bet you have wondered how the big boys make soap.

Commercial dish soap combines the right ingredients and chemicals to create a soap bar.

Depending on the recipe, some commercial soaps contain up to 12 different ingredients.

If you're concerned about the number of chemicals in commercial dish soap, homemade dish soap is an easy solution.

Homemade dish soap is just as effective as commercial dish soap because it has surfactants like Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES), and Soap Dispersion. 

Dish soap also has other chemicals such as sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, and more.

It's important to note that all homemade soaps are not created equal.

Some recipes work well while others don't. This blog post will discuss ways to make homemade dish soap from home without harmful chemicals or additives.

We will also give you a simple DIY recipe for homemade dishwashing liquid + homemade laundry liquid.

Making Liquid Dish Soap

One of the easiest ways to make homemade dish soap is by using a liquid hand dishwashing detergent?

Many people might be hesitant to try this recipe because they think it would be difficult or time-consuming.

In reality, making liquid dish soap is simple and requires only two ingredients: water and dishwashing detergent.

If you have some homemade laundry detergent on hand, you need a few drops in your cleaning solution.

You can use regular dishwashing detergent if you don't have any homemade laundry detergent.

All you have to do is measure 1 tablespoon of dishwashing detergent into 2 cups of water and mix well with a whisk.

For best results, use tepid water when mixing your solution.

Making Bar Soap

Making bar soap is easy and inexpensive.

First, you need a few basic ingredients: water, lye, and oils or butter.

Lye is caustic and can be dangerous, so it's important to use it carefully:

1. Measure out the water and lye with a scale, and then add your oils or butter.
2. Mix everything and boil it. After boiling, add a scent and dye if desired.
3. Pour the mixture into molds and let it cool.

You can store the soap in jars or wrap it in decorative paper.

Homemade bar soap is cheaper and better than any store-bought soap.

It's healthier for your skin, too. 

Making Foaming Dish Soap 

To make foaming dish soap, you must use a foam booster like sodium sulfate.

This foam booster will increase the number of bubbles in your dish soap and make it more effective.

Making your DIY foaming dish soap is very easy.

All you need is dish soap, water, and baking soda. 

1. First, pour 1 cup of dish soap into a mixing bowl or jar. 
2. Then add 1 cup of hot water. 
3. Stir the mixture and add another 1 cup of hot water and 1/2 cup of baking soda. 

The mixture will look like dirt at first, but then it will turn into a creamy foam.

The foam is what cleans the dishes, so the more foam you get, the better.

After 10-15 minutes, the foam should be thick and creamy.

You can then pour it into a storage container or use it immediately.   

Why Make Your Own Dish Soap?

If you're concerned about the ingredients in commercial dish soap, make your own dish soap.

Aside from being environmentally friendly, making your own dish soap can save you money.

Making dish soap is a great way to reduce the number of chemicals polluting our bodies and water supply.

In addition, homemade soaps are cost-effective because they only require a few essential ingredients you probably already have on hand. 

Another reason to make your own dish soap is to ensure it's completely effective and safe for family use.

Many people do not know what's in commercial dish soap and how harmful it can sometimes be.

While making your own homemade dish soap has many benefits, safety should always be a top priority.

How to Make Liquid Dish Soap

You can easily make dish soap by combining all-purpose flour with water.

This mixture is added to a container, making it a paste.

The paste is then combined with a surfactant and olive oil, and the final product is liquid dish soap.

To make liquid dish soap, you'll need: 

• 1/4 cup of distilled water 
• 2 tbsp of all-purpose flour 
• 1 tsp of borax (a natural cleaner) 
• 2 tbsp of olive oil 
• 3 tsp of sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) 
• 3 tsp of sodium Laureth sulfate (SLES)

Make sure you mix all ingredients well and remember to have fun with it.

Pros of Making Homemade Dish Soaps

There are many benefits to making homemade dish soap: 

1. First, you can create the perfect soap for your family's needs. 
2. You know exactly what ingredients you're using, so you don't have to worry about any harmful chemicals that could be present in commercial dish soaps. 
3. You save money and time since you no longer have to buy commercial dish soap! 
4. It gives you a sense of accomplishment knowing that you made something from scratch without toxic additives or chemicals.

Cons of Making Homemade Dish Soaps

One of the main reasons people decide to make their own dish soap is because they are concerned about the chemicals used in commercial dish soaps. 

When you make your own, you have the freedom to choose what ingredients you want to use, and it's easy to alter them as needed.

However, homemade dish soap does not perform similarly to commercial dish soap.

For example, homemade soap will not leave a lasting lather or suds and may be less effective at cleaning dishes than commercial products.

Another downside of making your own homemade dish soaps is that it could take a lot of time and effort.

You can find recipes online or get inspiration from other DIYers, but it might be difficult to find an easy recipe that works well for everyone's needs.
