Instructions
-
Begin by taking your bar of soap—Dove or a comparable store brand works wonderfully due to its moisturizing properties. Using a cheese grater, carefully grate the soap into fine pieces, which will help it dissolve more easily in the water.
-
-
In a microwave-safe container, combine the grated soap with the water. Ensure the container is large enough to allow for bubbling as it heats. Place it in the microwave and heat on high for about 3 minutes, keeping a close eye on it to prevent any overflow.
-
After the microwave stops, carefully remove the container (it will be hot!) and stir the mixture vigorously until all the soap pieces have fully melted into the water. If you notice any soap bits still intact, return the container to the microwave for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute, stirring again until smooth.
-
Once completely melted, allow the mixture to cool to a manageable temperature. As it cools, it will thicken to a desirable liquid consistency.
-
Finally, pour the finished liquid soap into empty pump bottles—preferably those from previous store-bought liquid soap—and any remaining soap can be stored in a lidded container. Your homemade liquid hand soap is now ready to use!
