Hi, I apologise if there is already an answer to this question somewhere else but I have been looking high and low and cannot find a direct answer!
I made my first batch of soap yesterday. When I was done, the bowls and utensils had been sitting for a bit soaking in water. Afterwards, I popped them in the dishwasher with the rest of the household dishes and ran a wash. Is this safe? I've now read that running soap batter down the drain can cause clogging, so I will avoid doing this again, but I'm more concerned about the safety of using the remaining dishes. There was barely any batter left in the bowl as I scraped virtually all of it out beforehand, but is that + the bowl that contained the lye mixture ok to wash with other dishes or do I now need to discard the dishes? Grateful for any help, cheers!
