mikesgirl	Posted - Mar 09 2009 : 11:12:56 PM I make my own laundry soap and I'd love to be able to make my own (handwashing) dish soap. Anyone have a recipe for that? Farmgirl Sister #98

Ga Girl	Posted - Mar 28 2009 : 07:36:58 AM Oh boy I cant wait to make my own dish soap! Melody this is what I use to make my laundry soap and I got it from here and love it! 1 box of washing soda 2 lbs of baking soda 1 box of Borax I also add eo any scent you like to the powder. You can add as much or little as you like. Try a few drops at first then you can add more if you like. Mix all together. I use a small shot glass per wash but I wash lg loads, for smaller lds use 1TBSP. Blessings, Karen Create in me a pure heart,O God and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

melody	Posted - Mar 27 2009 : 4:14:41 PM HA! For the first time ever....I made my own dish soap. I love it. I have a ton of odds and ends pieces of handmade soap and this is a wonderful way to recycle it!

KayB	Posted - Mar 27 2009 : 1:40:14 PM I tried Wal-Mart and the young-uns didn't even know what I was talking about. I finally found it at Crest Foods, which is a grocery store that is giving W-M a run for their money. They had both the Naptha Fels and the Kirk's Castile. I was about to go to Akins Foods and check it out. I remember bathing with it when I was a kid, but now it can't be found anywhere. Life's a dance you learn as you go

Jana	Posted - Mar 24 2009 : 08:50:29 AM As I understood it, my mom used to just grate Ivory into the sink. It doesn't take a great deal and works just fine. Just don't expect tons of suds. This isn't a detergent like modern dish soap. As for buying Ivory flakes, they haven't made them (the real soap, anyway) since 1978. Castile, like the liquid or bars can be purchased at a health food place or Target in the cosmetics dept. (Dr. Bronner's) Or you can order from their website directly, even gallons! Jana

KayB	Posted - Mar 20 2009 : 1:06:38 PM Where can you get castile soap? I've been looking and can't find any. Actually, the ya-hoos at Wal-Mart thought I was crazy and had no idea what I was talking about. Life's a dance you learn as you go
melody	Posted - Mar 18 2009 : 9:24:25 PM How do you make your own laundry soap? Any recipes would be greatly appreciated!! Melody http://melodynotes-melodynotes.blogspot.com www.bythebayhandcraftedsoap.com www.lemonverbenasoap.etsy.com www.andsewitgoes.etsy.com
glendagoldenbp	Posted - Mar 10 2009 : 6:26:34 PM Sherri and Jamie, thanks to you both. I happened upon some castile and bought it hoping to find a use for it. Sunrises are wonderous things, nobody should ever miss one.
mikesgirl	Posted - Mar 10 2009 : 1:12:44 PM Thanks for the info!! I'll get the castile next shopping trip. Farmgirl Sister #98
