Check that there are no bugs. * Perfume, you can do it with other strongly aromatic flowers and herbs from the garden, such as lavender, lilac, or carnation.
SOAPS If you have too many leftovers from used soaps, this is a great way to turn the many pieces into new soaps. This method of re-using soap is called hand-milling. 1. Prepare your used soap bars. Grate or chop them into small pieces. 2.
Prepare the mold(s) with a non-stick vegetable spray.
In a double boiler, heat the liquid you chose (milk, water, tea, etc.) to 170ยบF-180ยบF (76ยบC-82ยบC). The water must be warm, not boiling. 3. Add the grated soap while stirring slowly and constantly. 4. Reduce the heat so that the liquid/grated soap come to a simmer. 5. Stir slowly (but not constantly), until the grated soap turns into liquid. 6.
Add additives if you want. This is not required but might be something
you'd like to do to improve the final soap. Additives would include such items as exfoliating items (for example, oat flakes, lavender flowers, etc.), essential oils, food coloring and so forth. If adding, stir them in well. 7.
Immediately pour the mixture into the mold(s)
and cover it up in plastic wrap. 8.
After 24 hours, remove the plastic wrap and set
molds in a draft-free, dry place for three to four weeks. 9. It's ready when it has dried out enough to feel like new soap.
