My days of making soap and detergents are over.<br /><br />Were you making a soap or a detergent for laundry use? Glad you are feeling self sufficient and I'm sure this helps. I guess if they run out at the store I do have the knowledge of how to keep myself clean.<br /><br />We did make soap at home once. Taught my daughter how to do it as a science fair project when she was in middle school. Then she washed her arm with the homemade lye soap and used store bought soap on her other arm the measured the harshness of the lye soap. Of course dad helped go a little heavy on the caustic base so the irritation was more obvious due to the base. The funniest thing was she brought an old aluminum alloy pan out to mix the base and tallow. I didn't say anything and let her add the caustic to tallow in the aluminum pan. She got quite an unexpected reaction. She earned a honorable mention at the fair. but herproject was a big hit with all the other kids because we made enough she had soap samples for them to try.Dad and Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204246139693620329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448246538491495908.post-65692084907816754292010-01-13T07:55:00.431-08:002010-01-13T07:55:00.431-08:00What a wonderful day.
