When it comes to making eco friendly washing up liquid there are many recipes out there to choose from and some are more tricky than others. We thought we’d share with you one that we like because it’s relatively simple to make and smells great! Just be aware that it won’t bubble like commercial dish soaps. It doesn’t mean it isn’t doing its job, it just has no unnecessary foaming agents added.
You will need:
450ml Boiled water
1.5 tablespoons Sodium Carbonate (Washing Soda)
150ml Castile Liquid Soap
1 tablespoon glycerine (optional. Just makes it gentler on your hands)
3 drops basil oil
4 drops pink grapefruit oil
8 drops Lime oil
A bottle with a pump lid.
Mix together washing soda and hot water in a heatproof bowl until it has completely dissolved. Stir in Castile soap and glycerine. Then mix in essential oils until combined. Use a funnel to pour mixture into your bottle while it is still warm as it will thicken and become gel-like once it is cool. If it is too thick you can add a little more water. For sensitive hands you can even add a tablespoon of aloe vera gel.
