How to make eco-friendly dishwasher soap

If you’re wondering how to make homemade dish soap, you’ve come to the right place. In AgroCorrn, to start, we recommend that you try the following 3 recipes that include lemon, used oil and aloe or aloe vera, choose the one you like the most.

To be organic soaps, neither glycerin nor caustic soda will be used in any of the recipes, since both products are not actually organic. The reason is that the first is made up of vegetable and animal fats and the second is very harmful during soap making. Instead, we will always use the saponaria , or the soap plant, or bar soap remnants from other times we have made our homemade soap, either for dishes, clothes or for the body.

In this first recipe we will mainly use lemon, white vinegar, salt and bicarbonate, ingredients with powerful antiseptic, cleaning and degreasing properties, perfect for washing dishes. How do you make lemon dish soap? Simply put these ingredients together and follow these steps:

Ingredients

• 3 cups of water
• 1 cup of saponaria powder
• 1 cup of white vinegar
• 4 tablespoons of lemon juice
• 4 tablespoons of coarse salt
• 2 tablespoons of baking soda

Elaboration

1. In a saucepan or pot pour the water and vinegar, put it on the fire and leave it over medium heat. When it reaches the boiling point, lower it and let it simmer for a couple of minutes while you stir.
2. Raise to medium heat and, while stirring, add the coarse salt, the powdered saponaria, the lemon juice and the baking soda. To add them correctly remember not to stop mixing and wait for each ingredient to be well integrated into the mixture before adding the next one.
3. Keep mixing until the last ingredient has dissolved well and when you have a homogeneous mixture, you can turn off the heat and remove the saucepan to let it cool.
4. When it has cooled down completely and is at room temperature you can store it in the bottle you have chosen for it.
5. We recommend that you label the bottle so that you always know what type of soap it is or what it contains.
6. If there is ever something thick left in the bottle as it gets colder, you just need to shake it a bit to get the soap out.

Although this recipe is ideal as a homemade soap to wash dishes by hand , it also works as an ecological and homemade machine dishwasher . However, we recommend that you always consult the manual before using it or discuss with the manufacturer of the dishwasher whether the use of this soap may be detrimental to its proper functioning or not.

Another thing that many people wonder is how to make homemade liquid dishwasher , since they prefer to use it in this format rather than in tablets. The previous recipe works in this case, but another way to make a homemade and ecological dishwasher is to follow the following recipe for homemade dish soap that includes used oil. Reusing oil at home is somewhat easier than it may sound, and one of the most useful ways is to make your own homemade soap.

Next, we explain how to make liquid soap with used dishwasher oil . Take note!

Ingredients

• 6 and 1/2 tablespoons (100 g) of used oil. It can be any used in the kitchen.
• 1 and 1/2 cups of mineral water.
• 1 cup of saponaria powder or dried flowers and leaves.
• 20 or 25 drops of essential oil of lavender, lemon or another aroma that we like.

You will also need molds to make bars of soap, which we will continue working to turn into liquid dishwasher soap .

Preparation

1. Filter the oil that you have used to cook with a pot and a filter for coffee, you can also use a funnel if you need it. In this way, you will remove all possible food residues.
2. Bring water to boil in a pot and when it is at the boiling point and leave the heat low, add the saponaria or soap plant and stir.
3. Stir until the saponaria is dissolved or as integrated as possible.
4. Add the oil while you continue mixing.
5. Also add the essential oil and continue mixing until you get a homogeneous mixture.
6. Turn off the heat and remove the pot from the stove to cool.
7. When it starts to get warm, pour the mixture into the molds and let it cool. You can put it in the fridge to make it cool faster, as it can take several days outside to harden well.
8. Once the tablets are hard, unmold them and allow them to finish air drying for a few hours or even a day. You must store them in a dry and ventilated area.

How To Make Liquid Dishwasher Soap From Used Oil

1. To make liquid dish soap, now grate or cut the bars into small pieces in a large bowl or container.
2. Boil water separately and when it starts to boil, pour it over the grated grates of the tablets until it covers them well. Stir well until the ingredients are well integrated.
3. Add alcohol, specifically 0.5% of the amount you used oil, depending on the final amount of soap you make.
4. Mix well again until you see that it is homogeneous and pour the mixture into the bottle of your choice to store your liquid dishwasher.

Finally, a great option for washing dishes by hand is to make your own homemade dishwasher with aloe vera , which will serve both to clean the dishes and to take care of your skin, so it will be ideal for washing dishes by hand. To make this other recipe for an ecological dishwasher, follow these instructions:

Ingredients

• 1 cup of saponaria powder
• 2 aloe vera leaf gel
• 2 tablespoons of baking soda
• 4 cups of water
