7. Diversify Your Production
With the knowledge, you can make a common handmade soap that can be used for bathing,
hand washing, and hair conditioning. But still, you can diversify to have separate soaps for
each washing need. For example, you can add vitamin E and essential oils to the ingredients to
make a bathing soap. The ingredients are friendly and therapeutic to the skin. Likewise, you
can add soda ash to enhance the foam effect of the soap. Such soap is great for hand washing
or hair washing. It’s just a matter of being creative.
8. Exploit the Soap-Making Fabrics
You don’t have to buy laundry detergents when you are making handmade soap. Save the
blankets and towels that you use when making soap. When it comes to doing laundry, mix the
soapy fabric with the clothes that you want to clean. Soak them in hot water so as to force the
soap out of the fabric. Start cleaning when the water cools. The advantage is that you don’t
even need a fabric softener when doing laundry using this approach.
