Final Thoughts
It’s a great feeling.
Watching our boys drink from water bottles cleaned in safe soap, eating their meals from dishes I know are truly clean, but I shudder at what I’ve put into our bodies over the years.
I’m so grateful for so many safe options, especially with how well the Young Living and DIY work!
I hope this has helped you create toxin-free dishes stress free!


Do you ever use this as hand soap? And…I’ve read some reviews on other sites that homemade soap with these ingredients can be runny. Have you run into that or am I going to get a store-bought consistency with this recipe?
I use castile and water in a foam pump for hand soap. I just use this on dishes. 🙂 It’s runny for sure, but the way it cuts grease totally makes up for the change in consistency. 🙂
First of all, I love your blog. I’ve read every post and enjoyed every one of them :). Second, I’m going to buy many of the products you’ve mentioned to make homemade hand soap and dish soap. I’m thinking that making these items would be fun to do with my daughters this summer when school’s out. You are one of my daughter’s teachers and she’d get a huge kick out of making products from your blog!!
Hi! So excited to see your message! 🙂 Thank you, and I can’t wait to hear how it goes! I was told you have a blog, too! I’d love to check it out 🙂
Have you ever put this in a flaming pump?
No, but that’s brilliant!
