Introduction:
Liquid detergent can be expensive, but there’s a simple, cost-effective trick to transform a single bar of soap into up to 3 liters of liquid detergent. This method uses minimal ingredients, is easy to make at home, and produces a natural, effective cleaner for dishes, laundry, or general household use.
Ingredients Needed
1 bar of soap (any mild bar soap)
3 liters of water
1–2 tablespoons baking soda (optional, for extra cleaning power)
Essential oils (optional, for fragrance)
