Like most mothers I’m always on the look out for ways i can cut the home budget and this has led me into doing several things on my own. I can therefore confidently say I’m a DIY ( Do it yourself) person. I embarked on this DIY journey during my long maternity leave and it has indeed proved beneficial to my family. Today i want to take you through this simple process of making all purpose liquid soap at home. I will make a video soon to make it easier for the visual people.
Ingredients
1. Ungalo; 1kg
2. Salt; 1kg
3. Sulphonic; 1/2kg
4. Caustic; 3 tablespoons
5. Preservative of choice: A handful.
6. Color and perfume of choice.
Instructions
1. Mix salt with the Ungalo until this is well mixed. add 2 cups to the mixture for easy mixing. Mix until the mixture is well blended with a porridge like consistency.
2. Add sulphonic acid and then continue mixing till it is well blended into the mixture. I usually add at least a cup of water for this sometimes becomes too thick.
3. Add 3 tablespoons of caustic to the mixture. Be very careful with caustic; it burns. Stir the mixture until well mixed.
4. Add the preservative.I normally use Urea about a handful.
5. Add 20 litres of water and stir till well mixed.
6. At this point your liquid soap is done. I normally keep it overnight and then add colour and perfume in the morning.
This recipe yields approximately 24 litres of water. This can last you about 2 to 3 months depending on your daily home consumption. And if you want make extra bucks; why not? Everyone needs some pocket change.

Doctor take me through about making dog shampoo
Hello Bogere sorry for the late reply
Please go to boost house and ask for Elizabeth chemicals.
Alex being tough on hands may be attributed to the amount of caustic you use and also not properly mixing the ingredients with each step of the way. Next time try mixing thoroughly each step before moving to the next
Samuel it’s best to add perfume and color after 12 hours not immediately. Also make sure you mix well for each step before you move to the next
I added perfume on my 20ltrs liquid soap and it turned watery immediately how can i troubleshoot this?

I was successful but it’s tough on my hands. Is there a way I can make it mild?
You make your own soap…is there anything this Dr. can not do?
Remember she is another before being doctor. Mothers are gifted with multitasking
