Welcome to the course on "How to Make Natural Liquid Soap | Make Liquid Dish Soap"

Making your own soap is relatively easy and requires ingredients you likely have, or can easily get. Soap requires the use of potassium hydroxide, also known as lye, which can be dangerous to work with. As long as you take your time and take care, you can safely make your own liquid soap that you can use to refill all the soap dispensers in your home.

Not thrilled with the chemicals and unknown additives in commercially generated dish soap? You can make your own soap at home using natural ingredients that you may already have in your kitchen or laundry room. Make a basic version with just three ingredients, create a delicious smelling version with essential oils, or use the cleaning powerhouse Borax to make an extremely effective soap -- or try all three and see which works best for your needs.

Using a dishwasher to clean your dishes after a meal can eliminate one annoying household chore from your list. But if you're concerned about the chemicals that are used in commercial dishwasher soaps, you may feel torn between convenience and safety. Fortunately, you can make your own homemade dishwasher detergent using natural ingredients that you can buy at most grocery stores. Best of all, whipping up your own dishwasher soap is actually cheaper than buying premade formulas, so you'll save money at the same time.
