Homemade Dish Soap Recipe #1
2 cups of Castile soap
1 tsp lemon juice or white vinega
1/2 cup of warm water
Pour all ingredients into a cleaned out old dish soap bottle and shake until well combined. Give it another good shake before each use. The lemon juice or vinegar helps cut through the grease on your dishes.
Homemade Dish Soap Recipe #2
This version takes a little longer to make, but is even more frugal
1/4 cup soap flakes or soap shavings (any bar soap will do)
2 cups water
1 tsp lemon juice or white vinegar
Get out a sturdy sauce pan. Pour the water and soap fakes in and slowly heat it over medium heat. Stir the mixture and keep heating it until all the soap flakes melt into the water. DO NOT let the mixture come to a boil. Turn down the
heat if needed. Allow the soap mixture to cool a bit, then stir in the lemon juice or vinegar. Keep it sitting in the pot until it is completely cooled, then pour it into an old dish soap bottle.
With either of these two homemade dish soap recipes you can add a few drops
of your favorite essential oil to make them smell better. I find that if I use
the lemon juice, I don’t need the essential oil. Bottled lemon juice works just
fine.
