- Grate the Soap Bars
- Use the fine side of a grater to shred the soap. This makes it easier to dissolve in water.
- Dissolve the Soap
- Place the grated soap in a heat-resistant container. Add boiling water and stir continuously until the soap fully dissolves.
- Add Liquid Detergent
- Pour in the liquid dish detergent and mix well to ensure a uniform consistency.
- Optional: Add Food Coloring
- If you want your soap to have a vibrant color, add a few drops of food coloring. This step is purely aesthetic and won’t affect the soap’s cleaning power.
- Incorporate the Salt Solution
- In a separate bowl, dissolve the salt in 200 ml of room-temperature water. Slowly pour this solution into the soap mixture while stirring. The salt acts as a thickening agent and helps stabilize the formula.
- Let it Rest
- Allow the mixture to sit for 7–8 hours. During this time, it will thicken to the desired consistency.
