A Recipe ..... For You !

Lavender Dish Soap
2 ups soap flakes
(grated ivory)
1 gallon water
25 drops of lavender essential oil (you can change this to lemon or orange or other scent)

Place soap flakes and water into a pan. Heat over medium heat stirring occasionally until it boils and until soap dissolves. Lower heat and simmer for 10 minutes to thoroughly combine the ingredients. Remove from heat and let liquid partially cool, add the essential oil and stir. Pour into a clean plastic squeeze bottle or re-used dish soap bottle.


Mix the washing soda and the borax and store in a plastic covered container. To use, add 2 tablespoons to the dishwasher soap compartment.




A Hint ..... For You !

You know that it is cold in your Maine kitchen when you realize that your diso soap is frozen !!!!!  I gotta remember to not leave it so close to that draft window !!!!!
