Methods in making q a soap

Also, you don’t need the entire gallon for one bottle of soap, but if you purchase it in the gallon size you can save money not only from the amount but the gas you’ll need to make multiple trips to the store.
2. Pick up white vinegar and washing soda. These two ingredients are key to banishing grease and get the dishes extra clean.
3. Consider adding an essential oil for a pleasant smell. If your olfactory senses are not a priority you can skip this step. However, if you appreciate the aroma of fresh lemon, mint or lavender while you are stuck in the kitchen doing dishes, this is a wonderful addition to your soap. Go for any of your favorites including tea tree, eucalyptus, lavender or lemon.
4. Buy an empty glass bottle, preferably with a pump or squirt top. Having a pump or squirt top will allow you to ration the amount of soap you use.
