How do you make dish washing liquid?

To make dishwashing liquid at home, you will need the following ingredients:

Materials

- 1 cup (240 mL) of Castile soap (unscented)

- 1/4 cup (60 mL) of white vinegar

- 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of baking soda

- 1 gallon (3.8 liters) of water

- Mixing container

- Funnel

- Empty, clean dish soap bottle

Instructions:

1. Prepare the mixing container:

- Get a large mixing container that can hold at least 1 gallon (3.8 liters) of liquid.

- Wash the container thoroughly to ensure it's clean.

2. Add Castile soap:

- Pour 1 cup (240 mL) of Castile soap into the mixing container.

- Stir gently to ensure the soap is evenly distributed.

3. Add white vinegar:

- Add 1/4 cup (60 mL) of white vinegar to the container.

- Stir again until the vinegar is well-combined with the soap.

4. Add baking soda:

- Add 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of baking soda to the mixture.

- Stir until the baking soda is completely dissolved.

5. Add water:

- Slowly add 1 gallon (3.8 liters) of water to the container while stirring gently.

- Make sure the water is mixed well with the other ingredients.

6. Mix thoroughly:

- Stir the mixture until all ingredients are fully combined and there are no lumps or separation.

- Ensure that the baking soda is completely dissolved.

7. Let it settle:

- Allow the dishwashing liquid mixture to sit for about 30 minutes to an hour.

- This allows any air bubbles or foam to dissipate.

8. Pour into a bottle:

- Using a funnel, carefully pour the dishwashing liquid into the empty dish soap bottle.

- Make sure to leave some space at the top of the bottle to prevent overflowing.

9. Label the bottle:

- Attach a label to the bottle indicating that it contains homemade dishwashing liquid.

10. Store properly:

- Keep the dishwashing liquid in a cool, dry place.

- Avoid direct sunlight to preserve the quality of the liquid.

Usage:

To use your homemade dishwashing liquid, simply add a small amount to a sponge or dishwashing brush and add water. The dishwashing liquid will foam up and can be used to wash dishes as you normally would.

Note:

The dishwashing liquid might not produce as much foam as commercial products due to the absence of harsh chemicals. However, it will still effectively clean your dishes.

Be sure to test the dishwashing liquid on a small area before using it on all your dishes to ensure that it doesn't cause any adverse effects.
