As you all know, I am now a full-time homemaker and with
that comes the tightening of the budget strings. The Lord has always provided
for us and I do not doubt that he will continue to do so, but he has also given
me the strength and ability to work hard and save money whenever possible. So,
I have decided that periodically I will do a Thrifty Thursday blog and blog
about some ways I have found to save money. Today I am going to give you a
little run down on how to make your own Liquid Hand Soap. We go through a ton
of hand soap with three little ones and so much dirt. J
It is super EASY and you should have all you need on hand.
Here’s what you will need:
1. Bar Soap (I used Dove soap a friend gave me that smelled wonderful)
2. Cheese Grater (only you won’t be grating cheese, you will be grating
soap)
3. Water
4. Cooking Pot and Stove
Now you will need to boil 3 ½ - 4 cups of water. Once the water has
come to a boil, turn off the burner and add the grated soap.
You will need to stir the mixture for at 3-4 minutes until all of the
soap has mixed with the water (you don’t want any lumps in the water).
That’s it! Easy huh? Easy and super cheap. We buy our bar soap in bulk
at Sam’s so if you do that you can make this hand soap with very little cost.
This is a great tip! I've not tried it before. Have you tried making your own foaming hand soap? If you put regular liquid soap or dish soap about 1/4 of the way up the bottle then fill with water and swirl (don't shake) it around...you will make your reg. hand soap go a lot farther...it takes months to use one of those large refill bottles of hand soap. But you have to use a foaming hand soap bottle that you already have for it to work, of course! :)
ReplyDeleteOh I have not tried that with the foaming hand soap! What a great idea!!
