Hi there,
I made a 100% coconut liquid soap for dish washing. Cooked to paste, translucent and very clear when diluted. At the end of the cook I diluted a little and tested it with a PH strip, it was sitting around 9. I diluted the lot and now the PH strips are showing the PH is up around 13-14!! What can I do? I've left it for a week and no change. All I can think is that my scales stuffed up and I've got a lye heavy soap. It's for washing dishes and cleaning but I still don't what it too high as my hands will be in it.
I compared it to the last batch I made with the same recipe and the PH strips show a 9 for that one.
Can I fix this? Or do I donate my 8 litres to hubby for degreaser
