What you’ll need:

• Double boiler
• Bar molds
• Grater

Ingredients:

• 1 castile soap bar
• 1/4 cup washing soda
• 1/4 cup borax
• 6 tbsp water
• 2 tbsp liquid dish soap
• 2 tbsp vinegar

Instructions:

1. Finely grate the bar of soap and add it to your double boiler along with the washing soda, borax, vinegar and water
2. Melt over a low temperature until combined
3. Remove from heat once thickened and let cool for about a minute before adding in your dish soap
4. Mix until combined and pour evenly into your moulds (you’ll need to work quickly as the mixture will harden)
5. Let cool and solidify before removing

To use, wet the spot with the stain and gently rub the stain remover stick over the stained area. You can wash the item immediately or leave it to wash during your next load. Either works well!
