Can this product be used as "castile" soap in diy cleaners? I can't seem to find just plain castile soap (liquid)?

Yes, Dr. Woods can be used for cleaners of all types. You can also try making your own Castile soap. Amazon carries all the equipment and ingredients you need!

yes, this is what I used to make my shampoo. I heard the Dr Bronners brand was not good for colored hair so I tried Dr Woods and I love it!!!

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."

No I have never used it for making soap, however I do know that it is used as a by product in soap. I will see if I can find a recipe. I use it as my oil base to cook all my food, sauter veggies, creme my skin and moisturize my hair.

Straight Castile soap is not so great on hair. The soaps ph level is around 9.5 and hairs natural ph needs to stay somewhere between 5 an 7...... However when mixed with natural aloe Vera gel, and coconut milk it lathers nicely and rebalances the ph levels while still keeping your hair chemical free! Hope this was helpful!

There is no place to add soap directly into or through the surface cleaner unit. It is just an alternative to the power washer wand and it is very effective. Most if not all power washers that you would use with the surface cleaner have a way to introduce soap or cleansers.

Pure olive oil liquid Castile soap is not high-foaming. However, that does not mean that it doesn't clean. I've found that this product foams best when used with "soft" water and undiluted. This will not foam as you desire. Used it as-is.

It can be used as a colorant but it also can stain wash clothes even skin when the soap is used. You could also try Woad (leaves)

I have used both liquid and powder homemade laundry soap. We haven't had any problems at all, although we have only had the washer for a few months. I think if you have a low sudsing formula and use an appropriate amount, you would be fine (just like any other detergent.....you don't need much)

Great cleaning soap but the use of animal fat is a turn off. For those of you who don't like to use animal products you should know that sodium tallowate is made from animal fat. I'm not sure why they choose animal fat over other options. Oils or fats in a soap/cleaner help break up oils and grease, a plant oil would work just as good. This is the only soap I know off that still uses animal fat.

It's just castile soap with peppermint fragrance. I would just add a drop in the palm of my hands, add water.....lather up my face and rinse and pat dry. Buy a facial brush, or a small baby brush and use that when washing your face.

Aspaceia, I haven't used them with hand soap or bar soap but I have used them w liquid Castile soap and they work great. I don't see any reason why they would work well with other kinds of soaps. Think of them like ordinary baby wipes when wet.

I also will NOT use anything that is no fat/low fat/artificial/anything that is not pure. You've stumped me on the color of Miracle Soap. It had never occurred to me. I use Dawn dish soap and it's blue, never wondered about that, so I don't know what the answer is. I'm sorry, but I will say that I LOVE that miracle product. I don't use it as a soap, but as a healing power, it cannot be beat!!!

Like another customer replied, I too use it for Dawn brand liquid dish soap. Works fine and is perfect for when I need to wash only a couple of dishes and also great for use in the RV, where you don't want to waste water by filling a sink with dishwater. Much cheaper than buying the foaming version of Dawn. I didn't water it down quite as much as the marks on the bottle indicate to do. However, that ratio is really dependent on both your preferences and the soap used. For example, I have another bottle on order for another brand of soap I use (a liquid castile soap) that only requires a single droplet for hand washing. I figure I'll have to water it down more than the indicator marks show. Like another customer replied, I too use it for Dawn brand liquid dish soap.

I have wondered the same thing! To the best of my knowledge, the liguid consists of a pure detergent of the type used in households, except without additives, such as fragrances and dyes, and any other substances that could leave a residue on the record. The basic detergent is certainly very inexpensive, and its sale is probably a significant source of income for the Spin-Clean company. I have looked for sources of pure detergent, but they seem to be available only in large, industrial quantities.

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.

I'm not using these anymore. I didn't like the way they cleaned. I am using Dr. Bronners castile soap. It cleans much better and has many uses in the household. I am using it for almost all my home cleaning and I love it!

I bought this soap to use at home as our facial and bath soap. Amazon was the cheapest price.
