[ljwantstohelp]

[lala123123123123123]

question should i use vegetable oil like you mentioned or castille soap?

[NotaCoolMom]

@lala123123123123123 Castile soap - sorry for the confusion!

[118Cleaning]

The problem with making your own soap is that it easily seperates- don't forget to shake well before use.

[CuteXx100]

love it XD

[seangarrett92]

Does this soap really kill bacteria?

[NotaCoolMom]

@seangarrett92 The essential oils do yes.

[Shelly2819]

Castile soap is sold in liquid form and not it is not the same as the bar... and you can get it in different fragrances with essential oils in them

[Kokoro631]

hi NotaCoolMom, can you please clarify if what we need is castile soap or castile oil. I cannot find castile oil anywhere. Thanks

[NotaCoolMom]

@Kokoro631 CAstile soap - sorry!

[lmmbchampion]

Thank you so much for this 'recipe'. My husband got the Dr. Bronner's for me tonight and I already made up a double batch and washed up a sink full of dishes! You were right, it has a nice consistency and I love how it is sudsy enough to do dishes but when I'm rinsing out the sink, the suds have pretty much disappeared. Of course, the real test was that it worked great at cleaning the dishes! Thanks, again :)

[NotaCoolMom]

@lmmbchampion Great - I'm so happy to hear that!

I want to start making my own dish soap, but the problem I have is this: We like to keep ours in a dispenser. All instructions I've seen online say to "shake it up before using". That's a problem when you have your hands contaminated from just cutting up raw chicken, for example. With our dispenser, we use the back of our hands to push and the soap comes out without contaminating the container. Can anyone advise on this? Does homemade soap HAVE to shaken each time before use? Thanks.

Not one calls Dr. Bronners oil, maybe oil soap because its made from oil, but not oil becasue its not oil, its soap. they are two different things.

[NamasteMamaLLC]

Actually 

[NotaCoolMom]

My new website is up - Elizabeth's Kind Cafe.com check it out when you have a minute!

[NamasteMamaLLC]

FYI Dr Bronners is not Castile Oil, its Castile SOAP. Castile soap is made from olive oil, but it is not oil, its soap.

[goodmaro]

@NamasteMamaLLC That's one of the issues confusing this video; you'd think she'd know & notice the difference! The other thing is that mixing alkaline soap with acid vinegar is just plain wrong. They counteract each other and form insoluble fatty acid. Maybe that's what she meant about this producing a product that's less soapy -- but why would anyone want dish soap to be any less than completely soapy? If it makes your dish water too soapy, just use less soap, duh!

[NotaCoolMom]

@NamasteMamaLLC Lots of people call it oil and lots of people call it soap. No need to split hairs.

Here are the ingredients : Water, Organic Coconut Oil*, Potassium Hydroxide**, Organic Olive Oil*, Organic Hemp Oil, Organic Jojoba Oil, Citric Acid, Tocopherol

[NamasteMamaLLC]

@NotaCoolMom Again you ar eincorrect the possaum hydroxide or lye is used the the chemical reaction process in soap making which is called saponification. While oil is used to make all soaps it can not be done with out potassium hydroxide/ sodium hydroxide. WIth out this you can not have soap you would just have oil. So this is not splitting hairs, oil is oil by its self and mixing oil with lye = soap. Its simple chemestry.

[JeiBabi]

Wow i learn something everyday.

[Dar0922]

Is there a difference between Castile soap and oil? Or are they one and the same? I have some Castile soap and would like to try and make my own dishsoap as well, but I'm not sure what the oil is? Can anyone answer this question for me?

[zolumpus]

@Dar0922 Ya,she said it was vegetable oil.So get some veg oil.I can get veg oil at walmart for $2,25.

[NotaCoolMom]

@Dar0922 Castile Soap is made primarily from oil so I call it both, but you need to buy castile soap for the recipe

[GlamMarkRep]

Very helpful! Where can I purchase the castille oil?If its at the grocery store what section? I have never seen it? Thanks so much for your help!

[NotaCoolMom]

@GlamMarkRep I get it at whole foods - it's a little pricey so I ask them to get me the a gallon at a time Although some of the Whole Foods' already carry the larger size.

[Melimelicious]

Your son is so cute!! He looks so much like my son when he was that age!! Anyway, I am going to try it out. I hate paying so much for dish liquid!!

[chibomato78]

can you use green apple scent?

[NotaCoolMom]

@chibomato78 No -that's more of a scent than a cleaning agent. You need antibacterial and antifungal properties, like lavender, pine, tea tree and lemon

[Fingerboardin101]

Cool! You should sell it.....

[MaryEmerson80]

I love being natural and green - never thought you could make your own dish soup its so cool that women are actually making these things and sharing them thanks!

[phoenixflameangel13]

vegetable oil....to clean the dishes?? really?? well now I want to try it lol...

[NotaCoolMom]

You don't need a preservative. You will use it way before bacteria would form. I've been using this at home for over a year and have never had a problem. Check out my new site Elizabeth's Kind Cafe.

[PSTRIDES]

Where is the perservative??? The water in the liquid will start to form bacteria very quickly without it!

[NotaCoolMom]

It is pricey, but it's the best.

[casbah1982]

@NotaCoolMom What is Castile oil? You said it is vegetable oil; can you use regular vegetable oil that you buy in the baking section of the grocery store in place of it? What about olive oil? Thanks

[NotaCoolMom]

@casbah1982 Castile Soap is made from oil, so I call it both, sorry for the confusion. You can't use veg oil in place of castile. I get mine at whole foods

[carlacappalli]

Hi. Love what you do! Visited your website♥! I have one question. Castille soap is very expensive. What can I substitute it with that is more cost effective?

[NotaCoolMom]

Thanks!
