You’ll Need:
🧽 3 large bars of yellow soap
🍶 1 quart of white vinegar
🧂 1.76 ounces of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda)
💧 10.5 cups of water (for boiling)
Let’s Get Mixing:
1️⃣ Prepare the Soap Mixture:
Pour 💧 10.5 cups of water into a large 5-quart saucepan and bring to a simmer.
Chop 🧽 the yellow soap bars into pieces, toss them into the pan, and stir.
Let the mixture cook on low heat for 2 hours, until the soap is fully dissolved.
2️⃣ Add Vinegar and Baking Soda:
Once the soap has melted away, stir in 🍶 1 quart of white vinegar and 🧂 1.76 ounces of sodium bicarbonate.
Mix thoroughly to combine all the magic ingredients.
3️⃣ Cool the Mixture:
Turn off the heat and let your detergent potion cool for about 30 minutes, making it safe to bottle.
4️⃣ Bottle the Detergent:
Carefully pour the cool detergent into plastic bottles, filling only up to ⅓ of their capacity to leave room for dilution.
5️⃣ Dilute with Water:
Top off the bottles with 💧 water, maintaining a 1:2 ratio of detergent to water. For every 100 ml of detergent, add 200 ml of water.
6️⃣ Let It Rest:
Give your detergent about 12 hours to rest and integrate fully. Patience is key!
