DIY: Make Your Own Natural All-Purpose Soap

Using Chemicals Versus Natural Alternatives

Many individuals may notice their homemade soap does not foam or bubble like the commercial brands do and they may be concerned their soap won't clean as well. This is because commercial soaps use harmful chemical surfactants to create suds for visual appeal, and over the years we have been conditioned to believe suds and bubbles must be present to get a good, deep clean.

When individuals squirt their soap into running water, they will notice it will produce a few bubbles and make the water cloudy. Keep in mind, this is normal, but may take some getting used to. Individuals will also notice their dishes are just as clean as when they used the commercial brands, but they will no longer be subject to harmful chemicals and toxins.

Chemical-Free Alternatives To Commercial Brand Soaps

Individuals can go to just about any natural grocery store to get some chemical-free bars of soap to use on their hands. But if individuals are looking for natural dish soaps, they can be quite costly. Aside from making dish soap, liquid castile soap is possibly the best alternative to commercial brand dish soaps. The price may look steep, but castile soap is meant to be diluted with water, so there will be plenty more washes per bottle than most individuals think.
