You're basically grating the bar soap and melting it into hot water. <br /><br />http://www.casasugar.com/1734577<br /><br />http://tipnut.com/homemade-liquid-soap/<br /><br />For more cleaning power, you can use a laundry bar soap like zote instead of a body bar and add borax or washing soda. This combination is usually found in recipes for homemade laundry detergent.Jen.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01824602565529617602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3850542303813150261.post-80389221550806713542009-04-14T13:16:00.000-04:002009-04-14T13:16:00.000-04:00You could always flake bar soaps and mix with wate...You could always flake bar soaps and mix with water to get a sudsy solution, but it's more work and possibly more expensive. <br /><br />For floors, I don't think you'd really need the suds, unless you had some particularly greasy spot. In those cases you can always spot clean with baking soda and vinegar (the reaction get the grime)MJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17251704955369793668noreply@blogger.com
