DIY Dish Soap

I'm loving making my own soaps and such. I had a friend yesterday who learned (from me) about the problem with Johnson's and Johnson's, as well as, most chemical cleaners. She was shocked to learn it. I ended up sharing all my recipes at once with her, except this one. I knew I was posting it soon and didn't want to type it out twice. Anyway, onward to the recipe!!

Ingredients:

• 1 3/4 cups boiling water
• 2 Tbsp Borax
• 2 Tbsp Washing Soda
• 4 Tbsp grated bar soap (I used an all natural glycerin based soap, unscented and moisturizer free, use whichever you prefer, I recommend something natural though)
• 15-20 drops lemon essential oil (you could do a different scent, I chose lemon because I hoped it would add to the grease fighting power)

1. Combine soap, washing soda and borax in a bowl.
2. Pour boiling water over them.
3. Stir to dissolve and allow to cool overnight. It'll thicken as it sits.
4. Blend it up to get a nice smooth consistency.
5. Add essential oils and then poor mixture into squirt bottle. (You can recycle that commercial bottle you just emptied :) )
6. Clean your dishes!

Happy cleaning!!
