Dishwashing Liquid - Make Your Own Cleaning Products

 

  Make your own dishwashing liquid:

Instructions &  Method

1/4 cup soap flakes
2 cups hot water
1/4 cup glycerine
1/2 teaspoon lemon essential oil

Mix the soap flakes and the hot water together and stir until the soap flakes are dissolved.  Cool until just luke warm.  Add the glycerine and the essential oil.

As it cools down this mixture will gel.  When it is cool break it up a little with a fork.  Pour into a squirty bottle for ease of use.  You could use an old shampoo bottle or an old dishwashing liquid bottle. Use a large squirt and use hot water to wash the dishes in.  This liquid doesn't have much lather at all. It is quite "stringy" and gunky in appearance but works well.

 

     THIS LIQUID SHOULD NOT BE USED
               IN A DISH WASHER.
