How to Make Liquid Soap

By Vitia

Surely we are left with the remains of the soaps that we use in our home, in fact many times we try to stick the leftover pieces to the new soap with the intention of reusing it and taking advantage of it. Fortunately, there is a trick to achieve this, let’s see how to make liquid soap with soap scum.

Without a doubt, making liquid soap with the rest of the soap pieces is the best investment. Not only is it an inexpensive method, but it is scented and gentle. All homemade soap is gentle and chemical-free.

In addition, it serves as a soap to remove stains from clothes. However, keep in mind that once the soap is heated and mixed with the water, the chemical is further reduced.

To this we can add that there is something positive in this trick, and that is that it does not damage the skin and takes care of our hands gently.

Let’s see below the elements that are required to manufacture this homemade liquid soap and each step in its preparation:

Materials:

  • Soap scraps (equals 3 soaps)
  • 1 large grater
  • 1 saucepan
  • 600 ml of water

Procedimiento:

En primer lugar, cortamos en trocitos los jabones equivalentes a 3, tengamos en cuenta que necesitamos unos 60 ml de agua para 3 jabones.

En el caso de tener sobrantes de jabones equivalente a 4 unidades, entonces se requiere unos 700 ml de agua. Recordemos, que si añadimos más agua, el jabón líquido quedará demasiado aguado. La idea es obtener un jabón líquido cremoso y con más cuerpo.

Veamos el paso a paso de toda la preparación:

  1. Start by placing the pieces of soap in the saucepan with water and over moderate heat, until it comes to a boil while stirring constantly and melting the soaps. Remember, you can also grate soaps instead of cutting them into pieces.
  2. The key is to achieve a creamy texture and then the liquid soap will be ready.

Mix and pack:

  1. First of all, we add about 5 drops of lavender oil to the preparation or it could also be other fragrances to taste. Such as cinnamon, mint, orange, eucalyptus, among others.
  2. The idea is to obtain a fragrance since the pieces of soaps are varied, so the tip is to add these drops of oil.
  3. To finish, we got 2 bottles to store the homemade liquid soap. We can place each bottle, one in the shower and one bottle in the sink.

And that’s it, I hope you enjoyed knowing how to make liquid soap with bar soap residue!
