I'm just curious does anyone use their CP to clean in their homes? Or is it strictly used for bath and body purposes.
Does that produce a clear soap or cloudy? I know that in liquid soap people usually avoid a high superfat for clarity.I make a 100% coconut oil liquid soap paste @13% superfat. It is a fantastic cleaner and, nope, it does not zap
Seven that is a great idea!i use scraps and the not so good soaps and put them inside a wash cloth to clean my soaping utensils.
Liquid soap recipe and I use the paste before dilution. I always keep a 2 gallon bucket full of paste so I can either just use the paste or dilute it into liquid soap. Even with a minus 13 using soapcalc this soap paste has never been zappy. All my liquid soaps are made at -13 with no problems and I do not have to worry to much about cloudy LSCanaDawn I use it CO soap for laundry but maybe it is worth to try , what you do.
Cmzaha how do make that paste?
I am loving this gold mine of a thread! I always had it in my mind that I couldn't use soap for any other reason than bathing because I usually SF at 5%. All this time I was just wasting the bits of soap that I could not make a ball out of and now I know I can clean with it... dollars will be saved! :smile:

It seems that I need to learn how to make liquid soap :sad:
Hmmm, I suppose one or two types of soap was the norm for single family homes, like my grandmother's household. She used Palmolive in the bathroom and her homemade lard soap in the laundry.
The industrial soap making books from the mid-late 1800s and early 1900s, however, contain a wide range of recipes for general household cleaning soaps, abrasive scouring soaps, laundry soaps, and toilet (bath) soaps. M'lady would have used expensive toilet soap compounded by perfumers, but her household staff would probably have been more familiar with the other, more common soaps.
There were also specific recipes to make special soaps for the weaving mills to prepare different types of wool, linen, and cotton cloth for sale. And there were specialized medical soaps used for treating skin disorders -- soaps laced with additives such as mercury compounds, sulfur, phenol (carbolic acid), antimony, tar, and turpentine.
Sorry I meant -13% superfatDoes that produce a clear soap or cloudy? I know that in liquid soap people usually avoid a high superfat for clarity.
