I love your video! As a soapmaker, I recommend adding your essential oils to the slightly warm plant oils BEFORE adding the lye so it has time to fully incorporate throughout the entire batch! For regular body soap, I recommend mixing the essential oils with clay (2 TBSP per pound) at least 10 minutes before adding to the oils. This will help anchor and retain the scent! :)
I loved your recipe. Since I was running out of dish soap and didn't feel like ordering via Instacart or heading to the store (and I already make my body soap bars, shampoo bars and facial bars), this seemed like no brainer. However, instead of using CP process I used HP and added an orange essential oil once the soap cooled to perfect temp. Then I stirred it well and poured into my silicone muffin pans (perfect size bar). I let them sit for 12 hrs,unmolded and let them rest for additional week. Well, all but 1 since saponification was done. I am in awe. It washed my non dishwasher and stainless steel pots and pans so good. Never going back to store bought junk. Thank you for an awesome recipe.
I just finished my first ever batch of soap. I followed the steps and added sweet orange essential oil, everything came out just like in your video. Thank you for the recipe!
I use a jar lid ring. It works really well, and even when the bar gets small, you can lean it against the side. There will be a small discolored spot. on the bar, but I have never known it to effect it's cleaning power.
Thank you for sharing your recipe. I poured mine right into these cute little dishes I got at the dollar store. The bars got hard in a few hours and they look so awesome.
Love your channel and I just made these bars last night. They turned out beautifully. I didn’t have the orange oil you used so I used a combination of red Mandarin, sweet orange, and lemon essential oils. The fragrance is quite faint but at least it has some of the cleansing properties citrus offers. Thank you so much!
Thank you! After pricing some natural dish soap bars, it was clear that I needed to learn to make my own. Your recipe is the perfect answer! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I've made a similar dish soap and it's great. I scented it with lemon essential oil and powdered lemon zest, and I added some sodium citrate (to improve the lathering in hard water). I also infused my oils with annatto seeds to make the bars yellow (to match the lemon scent).
Hi Katie. Just found your channel. Thank you for such an informative video. Have a quick question. If I do not have castor oil, do I need to add more coconut oil?
Hey. Thank you so much for this recipe. I made it and it solidified nicely, however it doesn’t lather and acts like oil. What did I do wrong and how can I fix it?
It's my favorite cleaning soap. I also prepared a solution with it and it's great for cleaning the bathroom. Thank you! Sorry for my english(google translate). 💚🌿
I just finished making this recipe, it was very easy, but I noticed it took me a lot time to reach trace, I think I still didn't see it, I was noticing a lot of bubbles, and it got thick almost like think pudding or eggnog, but still not trace, most other recipes I would only trace for 2 min or less. I poured it into the mold, and not waiting to see how it turns out. I am a beginner this is my third soap, very excited about this. thank you
Love your recipes!! Thank you so much for your time and dedication. 💛 .. I was making dish soap w melt&pour bases and I was adding vinegar, lemon, clay and baking soda for extra cleaning. I did your recipe last night so haven't try it yet. Do you think is possible to add any clay or baking soda to this recipe? Thanks so much for your help
I don't have castor oil and every recipe I have come across (20+) ALL have castor oil. I do not want to use castor oil so is there any recipe at all where I can still make solid bar dish soap and avoid castor oil all together or does it HAVE to have castor oil?
Great video! Got so excited about it we tried it ourselves :) it looks like as the loaf is starting to cure in the mould it’s getting a crack along the middle. I know you used individual moulds in yours but is there a way to use this recipe with a loaf mould? Should anything be changed or altered? Thanks so much!
Hi-I’m just starting to experiment with soap making so I’m still on a learning curve. I recently made a batch of dish soap from a recipe very similar to yours. I put it in a loaf mold & when i unmolded it to cut it into bars it crumbled. I’m sure I followed the recipe exactly. My question is…is it always better to use individual molds for solid dish soap? It seems so hard that I can’t imagine being able to slice it. Thank you!
Maybe some turmeric? It gives it a nice yellowish color and it is antibacterial.. Not sure how much effective it is though. You can also sprinkle some between two layers of batter, the bars will have a nice stripe in the middle.
I have been looking for a solid dish soap recipe. Thanks for putting this out there. Can one use a loaf mold for this recipe or would the soap be too hard to cut?
hi gina! I have tried to my existing bars to test and they are difficult to cut, but not impossible. they definitely don't look that great when sliced! but i do think its possible if all you have is a loaf mold, just dont wait too long!
Hello I just found your channel and I lovvve it. I am a single mother and love to make anything I can from scratch. Keep it going. Where do you store your extra soap.
If you do get soap batter on your skin any sort of animal fat based moisturiser helps heal it up and helps with the itching coz lye burns itch like crazy
Hi Katie I am a new subscriber I’m happy to find your channel! My name is Katie as well. I have been looking for low waste soap alternatives For my dishes and I look forward to trying this thank you
I'm interested in making a dish soap but i want to make it in liquid form. Do you think this would work in liquid form? I want to melt the bar down and use it as liquid soap instead of bar form.
irene making liquid soap is a whole other process. if you melt it, it will be re form as a solid at room temp. I have seen recipes where you grate a bar and boil it and mix something else in there to make a liquid. but to make liquid soap requires a different process. :)
I've tried several homemade dish soaps in the past, and have had a problem with it leaving a scum on my dishes. I saw that you used a brush to collect the soap and then scrubbed the pot that way. I have always dissolved some of the soap into my wash water. Has anyone else had this problem? Am I doing it wrong, or have I used recipes with too much fat?
Thanks for recipe..I tried this recipe and used the soap. I washed the vessel but there is a oily feel on the vessel. I am using stainless steel vessel. Can you advice what will remove that oily feel in the vessel
@@HeartsContentFarmhouse Thanks! Also, any tips on how to make it harder so it lasts longer? I let it set for weeks on end, some up to 10 weeks, but find it goes quicker than ones I've bought.
nice tutorial, I won't use essential oils, maybe just plain min, fragrance oil, much safer. my question, what is he ratio water to lye, I am trying put this in the Soapcalc, it is asking for the water or lye in percentage. thanks
ginny I just rub some onto a cloth and wash that way. to soak, I hold the bar under running water to fill a bowl with sudsy water. grating would work well too, especially if you kept pre grated flakes by the sink
@@HeartsContentFarmhouse Yeah I thought so. I was just trying to think of questions newbies might want to know. Plan on this being one of the first soaps I make though. Do you have a recipe for homemade dishwasher soap though?
Thank you for this video! You’re great at explaining which is perfect for someone like me who’s interested in giving it a try :) I was wondering, how to you clean your equipment after use? I was thinking since the lye can cause burns etc.
there are a a few different ways to do it 1. let everything turn into soap and then. clean it off. 2. use gloves and carefully take off what you. can before the soap cures, then wait and remove the rest.
How long does this batch last it costs about $25 to make one batch if im buying from amazon, does the soap last alot longer than a bottle of dish soap?
it's hard for me to say how long it will last, there are so many variables. for me it's a couple weeks per bar. but i'd recommend NOT getting your. coconut oil from amazon, it's cheaper to get from an actual soap supplier, like here nurturesoap.com?aff=326
you could change the percentages and make it heavier on the olive oil. you would need to run it through a lye calculator, but more olive oil will still clean dishes well, just needs a longer cure time :)
@@HeartsContentFarmhouse Thanks! Sorry I have so many questions! Can you combine them at a lower temperature? Can you reheat lye water? Is the 5.41 once’s of lye EXACT I got 5.4 oz, will that work? My scale only does 1 decimal point.
@@ellierehl7239 yes you can combine them at lower temps. I do it often. as long as the oil is still melted and they oils and water are similar in temp it will be fine. and the lye is supposed to be exact, but I never worry about .01 :)

I just finished my first ever batch of soap. I followed the steps and added sweet orange essential oil, everything came out just like in your video. Thank you for the recipe!
tip for anyone who doesn’t want to buy a soap saver : rubber bands over a jar or soap dish :) keeps it elevated and does the job

Hi Katie, love and thanks for the video. May I know instead of using castor oil, can I use sweet almond oil? Thanks.
sure! it won't be as bubbly but it will still work fine. run it it through a lye calculator to make sure the amount of lye doesn't change :)
Can i use the same blender that i use it for my food ?
Thanks, by the way I have a question, what if the coconut oil is 58 oz, castor oil is 2 oz, should the superfat be 2% and 2 tsp for essential Oil?
Omg Katie! I didn't know you had a TH-cam channel! I follow your blog and email list lol! So glad I searched for bar dish soap!

Just a heads up, to purchase everything needed I ended up paying about $100 for stick blender, scale, silicone mold, oils and lye.
It’s much cheaper if you already have everything on hand. On the bright side you are set to make body soaps etc as well now.
where do you get a 10 oil and or how do you know is 10x
About how long does a bar last? Does the scent stay on the dishes or does it just smell while your doing dishes like regular liquid dish soap?
Can this soap be used to wash vegetables
I cant wait to make this! Any tips on something to add that adds more antibacterial elements to it?
Maybe some turmeric? It gives it a nice yellowish color and it is antibacterial.. Not sure how much effective it is though. You can also sprinkle some between two layers of batter, the bars will have a nice stripe in the middle.

thanks Katarina!!! ❤️
Can you use this dish bar soap on the counters and appliances in the kitchen also?
hi luanne! I do, but i do rinse my counters after :)
I have a question if anyone can please answer. Does the Castor oil leave the dishes or glass cups oily? Or with any residue?
I don’t think it would as it doesn’t remain as oil, it would become saponified :)
To calculate with a different volume, use these percentages:
In it is not mentioned LYE. is it the superfat?
Hi! Do you know why it cracked while cooling… i did the exact recipe but instead of mould i use metal tin .. 🤔
This is a great video! Thank you. Is it okay to use the same stick blender and pot for food after you do this?
Lesley Crystal most people will say no. But I use the same stick blender. 😉
As far as the pot I don’t mix because I do find the pot will absorb the scent of any fragrance oil you use
@@HeartsContentFarmhouse Thank you
No never...never....Always use separate equipment.
Great question! I Thanks for asking. I would have assumed both items were ok after cleaning 😬
Thank you maam
Pennies per bar, not in Australia coconut oil is expensive so is lye
If you do get soap batter on your skin any sort of animal fat based moisturiser helps heal it up and helps with the itching coz lye burns itch like crazy

Can you do a wash test on the dish soap? How well does it lather up?
This was made a few years ago so probably not
awesome! will try to do it soon

Stearin acid helps with hard water and soap scum. You can add a T to your water and it should help keep soap scum at bay
where do I buy all this stuff?
this is awesome! thank you!
This is a a good recipe which I would like to try
Very nice..
Could you please tell me the measurements in grams..
Great idea, thank you.
This is great! I'm going to try it. How long do you recommend curing this dish soap?
About 2 weeks just to make sure it's hard enough to last a long time

My soap become thick , is it ok to use it ?

Spray and wipe it down with rubbing alcohol.

If I removed this from the mould soon enough do you think it would be stampable? x
yes!
Hi can I washing soda and baking soda
U should use gloves..

Really great video, except i eush you would have showed this soso being used at the end. This way people can see what to expect for lather, thanks!
Is it possible to remelt the soap once it’s dried?? To fit into a different, larger mould?
you can... but it's not ideal. look up "soap rebatching". it never quite keeps its texture that well :(

sandy i'm so sorry i've never worked with charcoal! experiment and let me know how it goes!
@@HeartsContentFarmhouse will do!
Hi, so basically this recipe is just the same as natural soap for body use?
nope, it is 100% coconut oil and 1% super fat which is too harsh for your body. the process is the same, though.
What if your using a soap base
What is superfat?
Where can I buy your soap?
Without lye can make soap bar
Do you need a cosmetic assessment to sell
Food grade lye or hardware store lye?
either will work as long as its 99%

Awesome tutorial. New subbie here. Christina
Has anyone tried it? How effective is it on your dishes?
Why do you heat the oil to 140? Why can't you just heat it to the 110 final temp?
i do it that way so that the lye water and oils will be around the same temperature at the same time as they cool

not yet! i should do one! (except there is no rhyme or reason to what I do! I usually let everything harden into soap and then wash it off outside)
