Easy Homemade Dish Soap

This is a quick and easy recipe for homemade dish soap that I found on howtodothings.com. You only need three ingredients: 1 cup liquid castile soap (I prefer Dr. Bronner's), 1/4 cup water, and a drop of essential oil.

You will need a bottle of liquid castile soap (available online or at health stores), two glass measuring cups, a bottle of your favorite essential oil (I used Bergamot), and an eye dropper or straw. Lastly, you will need a glass or plastic bottle to hold the finished dish soap.

Once you have one of the glass measuring cups filled with 1/4 cup water, pour it in to your empty dish soap bottle.

Pour 1 cup of liquid castile soap into the other glass measuring cup and then pour this into the dish soap bottle. The mixture should begin bubbling slightly.

If using an eye dropper, take one drop from the bottle of essential oil and add it to the bottle of dish soap. If using a straw, dip the straw very slightly into the bottle of essential oil and plug the open end with your finger. Make sure to only hold about a drop in the straw, then move it over the bottle of dish soap and release your finger. This will allow the drop of essential oil into your dish soap for a pleasant scent.

Once you have finished the previous steps, hold the bottle cap on tightly and give your homemade dish soap a good shake. This will mix the ingredients and spread the scent of the essential oil throughout the soap. Your homemade dish soap is a safe, healthy product for your kitchen and is now ready for use!
