Homemade Dish Soap

Homemade Dish Soap

1 & 1/2 cup hot water
1/2 cup liquid castile soap (any scent of your choice, just keep this in mind when adding other oils later)
1 Tbsp. White Vinegar
1 Tbsp. Arm & Hammer's Super Washing Soda (can be found in the laundry isle at grocery stores)
1/8 Tsp. Tea Tree Oil (for antibacterial properties)
I like to add 10-20 drops of lavender, peppermint, eucalyptus, or rosemary to up the antibacterial-ness :)

Mix the ingredients in a bowl and make sure to break up all the washing soda clumps with a fork. Once it is a nice consistency, allow it to sit and cool, stirring every now and then. When it is cooled, I use a funnel to put it in my reused dish soap bottle. This soap is runnier than traditional store bought dish soap, so be careful when you are pouring it out.

I have been using this for several months now, and I think it works great!

Let me know what you think of it!

love & light,
Claire
