What kind of soap is recommended? A organic dish soap or something else? Anything that bubbles?

I was recommended this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00120U56G and it works well.

Any dish soap that says it dissolves grease or oil should work. I'm pretty sure that its role is primarily to keep the Neem in a uniform solution instead of sinking to the bottom. Perhaps to a lesser degree, it also help it stick to the plants any may even make the outer protective layer of the organisms it targets less resistant to the Neem, but that's strictly a guess.

We used Dawn dish liquid and water with the Neem on our blueberries. Seemed to work OK.

I have used Dawn and Costco brand liquid soaps with excellent results from either.

You can use dish detergent. It is just a small amount and helps the spreading and wetting properties. (Known as a surfactant) Use non-antibacterial AND there are recipes out there for using it as a pesticide.

You can use other brands. SimpleHuman just makes their soap extra runny to "ensure" it won't clog.I've been using Bath & Body Works' Kitchen Lemon soap from the beginning.

I use soap and it seems to be ok. However, I did have a spot that was sticking so I added a little oil to that spot and re-seasoned it. It seemed to work.

Absolutely, putit on high until it bubbles, then set it to one of the olwer settings. You an add salsa or any other ingredients you like. When done, empty left-overs, then let soak in hot, soapy water. Hope this helps

I use "Safer" brand insecticidal soap. I've heard that some people have success using a small amount of dish soap, but I've avoided those because I'm afraid they will be too harsh on the plants.

I'm not sure there is a recommended detergent; however, I use Charlie's Soap.

Go with Regular Soap...you put only up to the make and then the rest with water (hint: use HOT water at a trickle to fill it)and REMEMBER to SWIRL it (DON'T SHAKE it) Swirling mixes the soap better...YOU ARE GONNA LOVE THESE !! I got them for ALL the kids and ALL the bathrooms and everyone I give them to LOVES them !!

I use soap and water. But unfortunately I'm usually away from home and can't use natural soap. I also like to use an organic shea butter/calendula salve to drive the solution deeper into my skin.

I tried soap and had bubbles all over the place lol I do not know about bath salt as long as it does not bubble up it should be ok.

I used a thin layer of hand soap, it worked fine. I guess Vaseline also works.

Have you tried vinegar and baking soda? Usually I just pour in some baking soda, and follow with vinegar. It'll bubble up and I let it sit for a while, maybe thirty minutes or so, then follow with hot water. HTH

Have you tried a different soap? I use Dawn in mine and it works just fine. As I stated before fill very slowly as it tends to get air bubbles and overflows if you fill quickly.

Be careful. Put soap on any part of the face but wash off quickly. There are tutorials on YouTube about this soap and how to use it.

What I do, I fill 1/4 with boiling water or very hot water and mix a little of Clorox. Close it up and shake it for a few minutes. Then leave it close for 30 minutes, then rinse with very hot water so the smell of Clorox is gone. Hope this helps. I do not put soap in it cause it create bubbles and its hard to shake without creating too many bubbles. Hope this helps. Steaming water is the best for this. I clean it two times a week depending on how many times I fill it. I fill it two times a day so water is not sitting there at night. Make sure it drys completely before putting new water. I use it every day. It has fell from 4 feet in the air and did not brake (SURPRISE). What I do, I fill 1/4 with boiling water or very hot water and mix a little of Clorox.

I would suggest a foaming pump. 1/3 soap, 2/3 water. And it works great!! If you are not wanting to buy a foaming pump, then i have heard that you can also mix 1/3 to 2/3 with aloe vera gel for a more soap like consistancy. Hope this helps!
