Just a few days ago I ran out of baby wash for making my homemade baby wipes. I got online to see if I could make liquid soap. This worked just fine. Of course I made a few mistakes but it was enough to get me by for the time being.
I misread the ingredients and thought it said to use a 8 oz bar of soap, it says to use a 4 oz bar, and so my liquid came out way too thick in the end. When I had it on the stove it was still hot and very liquid so I thought it might not measure the same as regular liquid soap in my baby wipe recipe so I added more than normal and my baby wipes came out too soapy. Now I am having to rinse my wipes off before I use them on the baby. This is why I can't say yet just how to use this recipe as a substitute for liquid soap in your baby wipe recipe, but I will work on it some more and get back to you!
This websites recipe calls for
1. One 4 oz bar of any type of soap
2. One gallon of water
Grate the bar of soap with a hand grater. Bring your gallon of water to a boil. Add in the grated soap. Boil soap shavings in water until completely dissolved. Turn off stove eye and remove from heat. Stir very well and let cool for 15 minutes. Mix with hand mixer and let stand over night. Mix with hand mixer again in the morning.
I hope to get the chance to try this again the right way. I hope all of you enjoy this.
