Description
Here we are talking about a 100% olive oil soap, which has been 0% overfattied.
In addition I turned it into shavings – in order to make handling easier.
If you’re thinking about making your own detergent or cleaning products, this could be a good alternative for other cleaning soap, which is mostly made from palm oil.
Under “applications” I have listed a couple (few) recipes which you could try out.
Anwendung
What can you do with this cleaning soap ?
Floor cleaning
2 tablespoons of grated cleaning soap to 5 liters of hot water plus 1 tablespoon of soda (sodium carbonate)
——————
Detergent (not suitable for wool or silk)
2 liters of water
80 g grated cleaning soap
300 g soda (sodium carbonate)
100 g citric acid
Boil cleaning soap, soda and water. Mix well with a hand blender.
Let it cool.
Only then add citric acid – mix well with blender.
Leave to stand for one day (It will divide into a more liquidy and a more firm part).
Mix again with a hand blender.
Fill into glass containers.
Before washing, use a spoon (the mixture becomes quite firm) to pour about 150 ml into a separate glass jar. Fill it up with water and shake well. This way you will get a liquid detergent which distributes well in the machine.
If you want a scent you could add 20 ml of orange essential oil, which you put into compartment II of the washing machine.
For white laundry you could once in a while soak this in hot water with 5 tbsp of disolved soda in it. This way the fibers loose the possible grayish tint and additionally most stubborn stains disappear.

Toothpaste
Yes – o.k. – there are better tastes.
But it works perfectly.
For the teeth and throat it is wonderful, because it increases the pH-value (it becomes alkaline – that is quite excellent against caries and inflammations).
Simply rub the damp toothbrush on the soap and then clean the teeth with it.
