Hi everyone.
I need your advice.
I'd like to try making some liquid laundry soap. I'd like to use butcher shop fat as the soap feedstock because from what I've read, it makes good soap & also because it recycles the waste fat. I know that some folks resent soap being made from animal byproducts, but I figure that since I can't stop people from eating meat, at least I can do my part to reduce waste by recycling.
If I use potassium hydroxide to make soap, will it still turn out liquid even though I'm using lard & chicken fat etc?
Also, is there anything I can add to the finished liquid laundry soap to preserve it from going rotten? I wouldn't want the last quart of a gallon of liquid soap to be full of bacteria & algae etc after sitting in my laundry area for a month or so.
Any advice at all here?
Does anyone make liquid laundry soap here?
