Citric Acid in Soap / Hard Water Soap Scum Solution
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 31 ก.ค. 2024
- Adding citric acid to your Dish or Laundry soap will help reduce soap scum in hard water, and can even help reduce chances for DOS (Dreaded Orange Spots).
The reaction between Citric Acid and Sodium Hydroxide produces Sodium Citrate that acts as a Chelator by binding to the minerals and metals in your water and in the process improves the effectiveness of your soap. This is a lovely zero waste, vegan soap that produces a lot of bubbles with a high cleansing value. It can be used as a dish or laundry soap.

Just a correction, at 4:11 I state that I used 100g of oil, I have no Idea where I have pulled that out. The correct measurements is in the description box. 1000 grams of soap, 634grams of oils used, 1% Citric acid. Apologies for that Dyslextic blunder. 🌼
15:40 a mouse on tik - I can't contain myself Tannie is hilarious ooooh my gosh this video is amazing.. so funny and Soo educational. I'm so happy with this video because it is real time no fast forward so I can actually see how long each step takes. This video is GOLD Tannie. ABSOLUTE GOLD
Australian soaper here 😊. I’m so happy you “appeared” on my you tube ! So glad you did as I was watching a lot of American soapers and everything is in ounces!! 🤣
I also watch Sunbird from South Africa, I like her too. You are very easy to listen to and visually I love it too. Your content is great and very interesting and even though I’ve been soaping for 4 years, I’m learning something from every one of your videos !
Tallow is my all time fav ingredient and I still render my own sometimes, your way, in water , but mostly I buy my tallow in the supermarket now, in 500 gr blocks. I’ve just started using rice bran oil as a % as it’s soooo cheap here and that combo makes a very hard , long lasting bar! What we all want isn’t it!
Anyway, I just wanted to say Hello 👋 from Queensland and please keep making your fantastic videos 😊
Welcome Jo the Australian soaper 😃. Thank you for your lovely message and encouragement to make more videos, I need that, I've been absent from youtube for quite a while now. I need to pull myself together and do something about that 😄.
Be blessed.
Ansa, the South African soaper.
Oh yes PLEASE pick up where you left off and continue to make these lovely videos. I’m half Dutch and so enjoy your language when you say things like Och ..and other words ha ha.
You are very easy to listen to and well researched too, instead of making claims without the research.
Keep doing what you are doing 🤣🤣
I love your channel and appreciate all the videos you make!!! You give clear and concise info thats easy for us to use.👍🏻👍🏻
Sending some sun shine from Orlando 😎😎🤟🤟
Thank you so much. People like you are the motivation I need to get going again. My recording equipment was stolen 3 months ago and appart from having to generate the finances to replace it, the motivation to start again eluded me. Watch this space I should be recording again in two weeks if all goes to plan.
Blessings and sending some South African sun shine 🌞

Oh no, so sorry that happened! Im subscribed to ypur channel and get all your notifications so I'm ready 😎👍🏻
Thanks again 💛
@@src3360Tx. I will see you soon.
Thanks for this video, it's super detailed, would have not thought of using citric acid in my soap at all
You are very welcome, and thank you for the feedback. I'm still trying to find my stile as a youtuber, feedback like yours gives me an Idea what my subscribers like, and in the end it is all about you guys while still being authentic .
@@saponify6677 You're welcome :)
13:58 Ghoghokie ROFL I love it .. Tannie is amazing
😄 I'm working under a harsh tube light, so I've draped some greaseproof paper sheets over it to diffuse the light a little, I've got plenty bugs harassing my soapmaking vibe. My son edits my videos for me, he just said "my goodness, he was propably dead before he fell into the lye, now he's eve "deader" and you talk to him as if he's a child who scraped his knee"🤷♀️ 😆
@@saponify6677 that's perfect.. the mother effect lol
Hi, can you help me?
I want to make my own soap with citric acid. I want to use fresh lime juice as the citric acid and beef tallow .I have lye. But is it possible to use washing soda?
I do not want to use citric acid power because it comes from black mold and I have a reaction to this ingredient.
You can use lime juice instead of citric acid, but I would advise that you first make a batch of soap without it. You unfortunately can't use washing soda in the place of lye, you need the lye to saponify the fatty acids in the oil. th-cam.com/video/fhTYAtn4OPI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=gRtVERLkZ8eiab8x
Hello! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. At 17:50, Did you say stearic acid?? and a couple more times at 18:40?
Karin, I'll have to watch the video when with an eagle eye, I might very well have had a slip of the tongue with the two sounding so much alike. All should be Citric acid with no stearic acid at all in this recipe. Thank you for contacting me and pointing it out, you are a gem 💎

Is there any reason why not to use sodium citrate in soap instead of citric acid? That way you don’t have the extra measurements?
You can definitely just use sodium Citrate without adjustments, Citric acid is just very easy to obtain from any grocer whereas Sodium Citrate is a speciality chemical only available from a few suppliers.
Hello lovely... would adding steric acid help give a higher foam quality to the bar?
Hi there. Stearic acid and Citric acid are two different ingredients, Citric acid works as a chelator that binds to the minerals in hard water to "allow" the soap to perform better.
Stearic acid as a fatty acid in fats like Tallow, Shea butter, and soy wax, Stearic acid content is awesome for shaving soap because it produces a dense stable foam (think shaving cream).
Hope that answers your question 😃🌿
@@saponify6677hi can you put citric acid, stearic acid and sodium lactate in one soap recipe and in what order? Citric acid to be added in distilled water before adding lye, stearic acid to be added after lye water after mixed. Sodium lactate also into lye water also am I correct
Nooo Tannie pronounced it right same in English and Afrikaans lol
17:11 I didn't know the coconut oil would turn that colour.. I would have split my nut and thought I burnt the coconut oil with the lye mixture lol
It looks much darker on camera and I still struggle with my colour balance so ita a bit misleading, it does go darker but lightens up again after it sets. It also reacts differently with different brands of oil, the "discolouration" is apparently correlated to the amount of antioxidants in the coconut oil, the more antioxidants the darker the reaction apparently, but there is not much information available on it (not that I could find) so rather take this information as a possibility than a fact because I found the info on CBD oil forums.
@@saponify6677 To be just plain honest here- I'm following quite a few soap makers on youtube and even among those who consider themselves "experienced soap makers" there is a lot of misinformation. You seem to be well informed and also you are critical with your sources of information. After reading this comment of yours you're my favourite now ❤️ :D
@@mariak8480 Thank you for your feedback and I'm honored to be your favorite :) Most of us find our information from the internet and it is hard to judge what is good information and what not. Even with the research I do there might be things that I believe to be "facts" that later might come to light as incorrect.
I Like to question things, research a bit deeper than most but I'm limited to the generous info others supply, trail and error. I promise that I will keep on giving my honest best. Thank you for subscribing and if you ever find information you don't agree with please feel free let me know. I'll research it deeper and fix it if possible. Blessings. Ansa
It won’t matter grams or ounces, I just can’t understand the accent.
Thank you for the video.
The Afrikaans accent is a pain I know :) Thank you for supporting my channel still I appreciate it. I'm not sure if ounces will be the same, I know to calculate the oil needed for a specific volume mold needs to be converted from fluid ounces to weight ounces. You can always just use the soapmakingfriend calculator and choose the imperial measurements and let the calculator do the work for you.
Oh, no worries. I did not mean to offend.
I found your video useful. I’m new to soap making and I just did your recipe last night. Just cut it today and it came out great. ❤❤❤
You definitely did not offend, facts are facts, I also have difficulty with certain accents, it is just what it is. I am glad your soap came out great , awesomeness.
@@saponify6677 trying my first batch later this month!! Thanks
Halloooo Tannie.. educate me please lol
What extra info do you need Nabeelah?
