I would like to win one of your bars so I can see if I want to try your recipe. I never thought of using bar soap for dishes.<br />slrdowney at hotmail dot comSue Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13154601233855250620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-720122887391988458.post-87852602095814412082013-09-24T22:21:58.519-05:002013-09-24T22:21:58.519-05:00I purchase lye, coconut and palm oil online from E...I purchase lye, coconut and palm oil online from Essential Depot, it has sales often. The best prices I've found have been at Essential Depot. No, I don't work for the company but am a satisfied customer. <br /><br />I add some vegetable oil and lard to each soap recipe to make it more economical. Pre-used oil also gets added to soap batches.<br /><br />Sometimes it can be difficult to get the soap out of plastic cups and containers. To remedy this problem I just use a cardboard box with a plastic bag lining it. Plastic storage bins could be lined with plastic wrap or a bag and used as molds too.<br /><br />Homemade soap can also be used as a shampoo bar or in laundry and dishwasher detergent.<br /><br />Good luck in your soapmaking adventures.

But when I looked into it... there is just so much more too it that I got really intimidated.
