Household cleaning products

Dear housewives, how often do you study the composition of the products you use for cleaning, washing and washing dishes? No? But this is in vain. If necessary, read the information on the label. But there was a time when our grandmothers and great-grandmothers washed and washed kitchen utensils using only laundry soap. But they were much healthier than you and me. Is not it? After all, such soap does not contain practically any chemical additives, which are stuffed with scented and multi-colored toilet soaps. In addition, it lathers well and fights bacteria very successfully. Why don’t we, modern housewives, take care of our health and make our own dishwashing detergent based on this inconspicuous-looking “brick” that has a very unpleasant smell. For example, to make a simple dishwashing gel you need no more than a third of an hour.

And to implement this idea, you won’t need any exquisite, scarce or expensive components. Only quite accessible and cheap means.As a result, you will get a homemade gel that not only cleans dishes well, easily breaking down grease, but also copes well with stains on the stove.
To make the gel you will need only 4 components:
• 25 g of laundry soap;
• 40 ml. glycerin;
• 500 ml. water;
• 15 ml. vodka.

The process of making homemade gel is very simple:
Pour water into a ladle, put on fire and bring to a boil.

In the meantime, cut the required number of grams from a large piece of soap and grate this small piece on a fine-mesh grater.

Place the soap shavings in a spacious ladle and fill with half of the already boiled water. Mixing thoroughly and gradually pouring in the remaining water, bring the soap composition until the shavings are completely dissolved.

To speed up the process, you can use a steam bath. Give the soap solution about five minutes to cool, then add the remaining two components (glycerin and vodka).

Mix thoroughly again - you get a homogeneous soap mass, which, after complete cooling, can be poured into a container convenient for use.

At first, the resulting composition will be liquid, but don’t worry, as it cools it will thicken and acquire the consistency of a gel. When used as intended, it will form abundant foam, which is easily washed off with warm water.

Perhaps, unlike store-bought products, one drop of which is supposedly enough for a mountain of dirty dishes, the consumption of homemade gel will be slightly higher. But if you consider that you can prepare 6 liters of gel from a bar of soap weighing 300 g, homemade dishwashing detergent is much more economical and not as harmful to health as its industrial counterparts.
