I was reading through THIS thread on stain stick are made with kerosene.
Does anyone make this? I'm curious as to how long the kerosene remains viable. I only plan on making a 1 lb finished batch as a test, but since there's only laundry for two of us, it may sit around for a while.
At the moment I plan on doing a 100% coconut base with a low (1% so I have a error margin) SF, but am not adverse to using other oils if they work better.
I'll make a few stain sticks, the rest I plan on grating and mixing with borax/washing soda for laundry soap.
If anyone has advise that can keep me from ending up with a toxic slop that I have to figure out proper disposal on, or improvements on the concept, I would appreciate it.
