Could someone tell me the water soap ratio for household cleaning and washing? Also do you use this concentrated for shower and shampoo?

This is from the blog of Lisa Bronner, whose family makes the soaps."Any of the castile soaps will work, but I usually use the Tea Tree because it has added antibacterial capabilities. If that's not on hand, though, I use anything. It's 1/4 c. castile soap in a 1 quart spray bottle, filled the rest of the way with water. Add ¼ tsp. tea tree essential oil if desired."

For bath time I just sprinkle a little straight from the bottle onto the washcloth. I think you could do the same for your hair. A little goes a long way.They do have instructions on their website for water to soap ratio as far as cleaning.

I squeeze it right from the bottle when shampooing, showering and quick cleanup in bathroom.

The bottle says 1:40 ratio for "light household cleaning", I'm sure that could be adjusted per your preferences. I personally use it full strength for shampoo and body wash / soap (also per the bottle). You could try it yourself and again, adjust if you feel it's too strong.

That's what I do exactly, in shower and shampoo.And I feel good and I think it does the job. I think it will do the cleaning job also.

Either one/scent would work. The one that is scented, it is so light that it will not irritate your nose. But I am not sure how it would do for cleaning your tub/shower. It doesn't scrub off soap film, think of it more like a windex type of cleaning. The reason I use it is because there are no harsh or dangerous chemimcals in it. I especially like to use it on my laminate wood floors, so that my small dogs paws are not getting touched by anything bad. I use it for my glasst top stove & marble counter tops too. I hope this helps!

Yes, I just use .25 percent of my laundry soap and add 2 capfuls of Dettol. Does a wonderful job of removing bad doers.

I only use it for toast, baked potatoes and sautéing veggies. Is it good for my skin too? Recipe for soap anyone? Sounds like something I would try if I had a recipe.

I use mine to soap and rinse off 2 to 5 minutes with enough hot water left for my husband to shower too. It depends on your water pressure, the cold water mixture and the time of day. Showers can be longer in the afternoon.

You're right, it's an incorrect description. I ended up not using it in the main bathroom because when used by real people, soap residue gathers on the rounded middle and looks very unattractive, thus requiring constant washing.

Hi Richard mine is a little messed up but what I can read is for machine washing use 2 oz or (1/3 cup) per load and hand washing Use 2 tsp. for each sink full. I use more than that maybe 1/4 cup. I might use to much but I like the scent. Hope that helps

Hi, I suppose its based on preference and what you're using it for. It is fairly forgiving, just trial and error! I personally just use it with a splash of water like any other soap.

If you're using it with Dawn, as a grease-cutting hand soap, I think it'll do great. You dilute the soap by quite a bit, so that it foams. If you're using it to dispense Dawn in a sink for washing dishes, I think you're creating a lot of extra work for yourself.

I would estimate about 60-70. I use a separate bucket for wheels and such so my soap consumption might be faster than others. I think use about 1.5-2oz per car wash but I am not actually measuring it and could be off. I'm washing small cars (Merc SLK, Fiat 500).

I have used it separately because it said it is laundry detergent. I will say it is not meant for cleaning so much. I use it for my bedding and for my towels and washcloths. I've come full circle. I use the standard detergent first and the allergen last.

You can use this every where... I would recommend dilution however as very little goes a long way. I use a foamer bottle with about 1/8 of this soap... Add some pure tea tree oil, a dropper full, and fill with water. It's literally the only soap I use and it has worked wonderfully for keeping adult acne in check... But that's me and everyone's skin is different... And I'm not a dermatologist... I won't ever use another soap though. One bottle has last me almost four months.

Good question! I've had a few bottles of this, and do use it as an internal "soap" if you will. Tiny bit every day. However, no, it's not "soapy" as tho you could wash dishes, etc. I do LOVE the Miracle II (green) soap for washing, bathing. Even dilute it with distilled water to use inthe "foaming hand soap" bottles in bathrooms, etc.

Yes it is perfect for that! You will probably want to dilute with water or almond because it is very concentrated soap

I used it in my soap. To me, the smell is fairly strong, but it doesn't last. Hope this helps!!

Hi Sharon -So far so good. But I only used it in a small area in the shower stall - the small triangular piece that is there tol hold soap, shampoo, etc -- so did not use on a large bathtub job.Also, it is highly highly toxic so please be sure to wear a good mask and also ventilate the area.Good luckFrank
