Laundry Soap

Salam..

tried making my own laundry soap.

just plain soap. zero superfat with tap water.

yup, you heard read me right! I used tap water!

why?

it's just for laundry. why should i use coconut milk or distilled water..


i used it for 3-4 washes recently and added manmade vinegar as a softener.

no added borax or baking soda or whatever during washing..


dont have time to check the laundry really.. to see if there is a difference..

hopefully i can feel the difference when i wear my clothes!


and since its not the bought detergent i use, m happy enough!

i'm trying to decrease my usage of factory produced detergents..

 i try.. dunno how long it will ast tho.


pic before grating.
crumbly, due to no superfatting..
 right?



grated..

i loike!!



curing period!!

4th Batch!! Curdled again!!

Salam,

My 4th batch, curdled. 
not as much as my 1st batch. 
still, it curdled.

see pics below.

nice colour haa ;)

looks so creamy.. 

bahan-bahan yang digunakan ialah 
minyak kelapa sawit, minyak zaitun, minyak canola, dan NaOH. 
tak lupa juga santan kelapa sebagai ganti air.
no fragrance.
 

see the texture?
cantik kan...
bila lagi nak perasan..
hehehe


i lined it all in a box.. love the texture..


you cant really see the curdled spots. pix not clear.. the white dots..

 

so i grated it..
letih giler dok garit sabun ni k.
next round kena lebih berhati-hati.
the coconut cream must not be too too frozen.
nanti curdle lagi, lagi payah!!


melted it and added cili kering 
ayah kata kalau kulit tu luka, kena cili ni mesti pedih.
tapi m dah letak dah, tak leh nak buat apa-apa lagi.
pedih nanti pun pedih laa..kalau ada luka laa.

i also added cinnamon and activated charcoal powder..

cili kering tu nampak cam kaler oren.
cinnamon tu nampak cam brown ke purple?
and activated charcoal doesnt really look grey
nampak cam kaler biru pun ada gak. kan? 
blue grey gitu..


kat atas ni gambar sabun yang dah dipotong..

if you can see in some pictures, i sprinkled and pressed hard, on top, crushed almonds..
as hard as i pressed it doesnt stick to the soap much!

why o why!!


yang ni gambar 2 hujung..
the top end, can see that i didnt pack the soap nicely coz
you can see some gap there between the coloured soaps.

 

you can see that each bar is different from one another.
all unique bars..
cun!!


top picture,
the brownish purplish one - cinnamon,
(macam kaler lebam kan..)
orangy - dried chilli powder
bluish grey - activated charcoal powder.

see the lines in top picture, that was made when i cut the bars,
the crushed almonds followed the knife as i cut.


i cut too thin..
and senget benget
so ada yang gemuk at one end and thinner kat hujung.

gambar2 atas ni ialah gambar2 yang gatal nak dimasukkan
ye la, pas guna nanti dah tak ada proof nak tunjuk atau nak ingat balik , 
"oo m, pernah buat sabun pelik ni.."
hahaha


chao!!
