When I use dish soap, it effectively removes any dirt or grime on my dishes, leaving them clean and without any visible residue. However, to give my plates a shiny appearance, I always use a tea towel to buff them before putting them away. While any soap may leave a small amount of residue in the water, as long as you rinse your dishes thoroughly after washing them, you shouldn't see any soap spots on them. Dish soap can cause bubbles in the water, which you referred to as "scum". This is because dish soap contains surfactants, which are compounds that lower the surface tension of water and help to break up grease and dirt.
Hi just wondering. Before I try this. I thought citric oils didn’t saponify. How does this work then do the citrus oils part just not saponify and is essentially part of the super fat reduction and the rest of the oils still saponify? Confused haha
You are correct that citrus oils, such as lime and lemon essential oil, do not saponify. They are added for fragrance and grease-fighting and antibacterial properties after the saponification process. The remaining oils, like coconut oil and castor oil, will undergo saponification to create the soap base. The citric acid and citrus oils are not part of the superfatting process but rather contribute to the overall properties of the soap. The specific proportions and curing process will determine the final results.
I did watch the video, and I thanked you for sharing your recipes. I was just concerned because at 9mins in, you wiped raw soap off the mould with un-gloved hands. I have been burnt before with lye, I just wanted you to be careful.
@@MythicalsFramed the soap doesn't burn its lukewarm and it was just a tiny bit. I have touched soap batter many times (only just a bit on my finger) and never had any reaction but thank you.
I want to try making this dish soap. I can all but smell the lime
It does smell lovely and very fresh. You will love this dish soap, its very good
Oh wow...this came out so nice. I must surely give it a try...thanks very much sweetie
you're welcome. Thank you
I love the bowl I would love to use that bowl. I use Ramekins for mine I too make this soap and I love it I only use lemon though. Great job
Thank you. My bowl was a lucky find in a charity shop many years ago.
Just a thought, why not fill your container with mixture and leave it to set?
😍😍
Thanks so much for this lovely recipe. I will try it this weekend. Do you need to cure the dish soap fr 1 month before using?
Thank you. Yes, 4-6 weeks to cure.
All other recipes I have seen have the soap "set up" for 24 hours but cure for 1 week. Is this bar able to be used after 24 hours?
No, Soap curing time is 4-6 weeks before using
❤❤😊😊
Thank you
I made several other recipes, but had soap scum and water spots. Disappointing. I air dry dishes. Will this work without soap scum?

Thanks for sharing your recipe, but please be careful, lye is so corrosive and you didn't wear gloves 😱 please protect your skin x
I was wearing gloves, yellow gloves, very bright.
