DIY and Frugal Tip 1: Liquid Dish Soap


I hardly ever buy brand name household products. I find it much cheaper to make my own.  

Here is a DIY *PH* household cleaner.



Liquid Dishsoap

Ingredients:
-1 ½ cup of hot water
-½ cup liquid castile soap 
-1 tablespoon of white vinegar
-1 tablespoon of Arm&Hammer’s Super Washing Soda
-1 tablespoon of shredded bar soap, such as homemade lye soap or any other kind would be fine
-1/8 teaspoon of tea tree oil or other natural oil (I usually add seasonal oils- like peppermint or pumpkin)

Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients into a large bowl. Pour in 1 1/2 cup of very hot water. Whisk/stir this mixture until bar of soap is completely melted and all ingredients are blended.
2. Allow mixture to cool completely, stirring occasionally.
3. Store in any dish soap dispensing bottle and enjoy.
