Detergent is an essential cleaning item that allows us to keep our house hygienic. It can be made at home, producing similar or even better effects without spending a lot of money.
It is a great degreaser, and just a few drops produce a lot of foam due to its combination of components, which we will provide here.
To prepare this homemade detergent, you will need:
Ingredients
- 1 liter of Neutral detergent
- 1 1/2 liters of Room temperature water
- 2 tbsp. Sugar
- 1 tbsp. Salt
- 60 g Glycerin Soap
- Food coloring and soap mold (optional)
Procedure
- Start by grating or cutting the glycerin soap into small pieces.
- Place two tablespoons of sugar and the soap pieces in a pan and set the heat to medium. Gradually add half a liter of water, stirring constantly.
- Continue stirring until all the sugar has dissolved, then let it rest for three hours or until the soap has melted.
- After this time, stir again.
- Pour in the remaining liter of water, mix quickly, and bring to a boil over moderate heat.
- Once it reaches boiling point, turn off the heat and add a tablespoon of salt. Make sure to stir the mixture until all the salt has completely dissolved.
- Next, incorporate a neutral detergent (it can be any brand and the most economical). Stir until it becomes a consistent and lump-free mixture.
- Now we can add the food coloring. Usually, these come with instructions on the amount to use for a certain number of liters.
- Cover the container with the mixture and place it in a location that is not too cold or too hot for 12 hours.
- After this time, stir one last time and pour it into several containers for storage.
And that’s how simple it is to make a quality and cost-effective homemade neutral detergent!
