How to Make Soap Solution
Ingredients:
- 1 bar of soap (your choice, ideally natural or unscented)
- 4 cups of water
- Large pot for boiling
Instructions:
- Grate the Soap: For faster melting, grate the bar of soap using a cheese grater or simply cut it into small chunks.
- Boil Water: Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a large pot.
- Add the Soap: Once the water is boiling, add the grated soap to the pot and stir until it completely dissolves. Lower the heat and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes.
- Let it Cool: After the soap has dissolved, turn off the heat and let the mixture cool down.
- Store the Mixture: Pour the liquid soap into a reusable bottle or container. You now have an all-purpose cleaning solution or liquid soap!
