Grate the Soap Bars
Use the fine side of a grater to shred the soap. This makes it easier to dissolve in water.
Dissolve the Soap
Place the grated soap in a heat-resistant container. Add boiling water and stir continuously until the soap fully dissolves.
Add Liquid Detergent
Pour in the liquid dish detergent and mix well to ensure a uniform consistency.
Optional: Add Food Coloring
If you want your soap to have a vibrant color, add a few drops of food coloring. This step is purely aesthetic and won’t affect the soap’s cleaning power.
Incorporate the Salt Solution
In a separate bowl, dissolve the salt in 200 ml of room-temperature water. Slowly pour this solution into the soap mixture while stirring. The salt acts as a thickening agent and helps stabilize the formula.
Let it Rest
Allow the mixture to sit for 7–8 hours. During this time, it will thicken to the desired consistency.
