This video is great, I did not realise i could use my handmade soap for household use. I suppose it should be obvious, but I think the huge multinational companies have taught people that each product they sell only works for one thing, such as washing up liquid for dishes, laundry powder for clothes, specific liquids for floors and yet another for surfaces. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for opening my world up to a whole new way of living and giving me the confidence to make my own soap. My first ever creation was a soap recipe of yours and I was absolutely delighted with the end result! Xxx

Thanks for the informative video. It took me way back…I’m from the U.S. Many years ago as a young 20-something, I was in France and took a ferry to England to visit an English pen pal. She and her husband-to-be were great hosts and served a wonderful dinner. I helped clean up the kitchen afterwards and observed that she washed the dishes in a sink full of soapy water (I didn’t notice her method of getting it soapy) and put them directly on a rack to drain without rinsing them. I was pretty shocked! Over the years, I’ve often told the story about the no-rinsing, being careful not to generalize that all Brits did this! BTW, the couple emigrated to Australia a few years later and we lost contact.

@EllysEverydaySoapMaking 3 года назад
I love that Arlo, and thank you, it explains why so many people from the US seem to be horrified that I wouldn't rinse my dishes after washing this way. It's very normal here, and obviously comes from our strong English influence. Thanks for commenting :)
@SophieM-it1zn
@SophieM-it1zn Год назад
Don't worry about generalising, I'm British and rinsing isn't a thing here (that I'm aware of). I've never known anyone to rinse. I didn't even know it was a thing until I read all the shocked comments about it on here. It seems like such a colossal waste of water. I'll only pre-rinse if the utensils are really dirty, just to get some of it off and so it doesn't gunk up my nice soapy water :-) People have commented about 'rinsing so they don't eat off a soapy dish', well in all my 30+years I've never tasted soap in my food!

she did say, "you can rinse if you like"...i always rinse...i grab a bar off the sink deck, have a small container with water running in and "wash my hands" it gets enough soap suds in the container to do my washing up. i also make pots and make a tray for soap/trinkets, etc.

Thanks Belinda! I just answered this above, but no I don't rinse if using the full water sink method. Just use the right amount of soap, then dry the dishes straight away. I also rinse any food off the dishes before washing, the water doesn't get yucky then.

My grandmother used to wipe the dishes with a damp cloth, then she would grate the soap on an old grater, put it in basin of hot water, soake the dishes in soapy water, if necessary, wipe the dishes with a washing cloth, and then rinsed them with cold water. It seems like a lot of work, but this method uses very little water, and there was no running water in my grandmother's house for a very long time.

I grate my handmade coconut oil soap no superfat that used for cleaning and washing clothes and keep the flakes in a small plastic container that has lid and put by the sink. When I wash my dishes I just scoop about a tablespoon in another cup and mix with a little bit of water, dip the sponge and wash dishes the Asian way. I used to heat the flakes with water until the flakes melted to make it like liquid soap but found that use the flakes straight without melting is easier, save time, save energy, and save money.

My dad told me his mother and grandmother washed dishes in a similar manner only the soap was dissolved in the sink after water was heated up on the wood cook stove. (The type of sink they had used an old hand pump to draw water in the sink, but before that was installed for a long time water had to be drawn from the well with the old trusted bucket and rope trick along with an old washtub to wash dishes.) My dad also told me before dish liquid, soap also came in a powder to wash dishes-I was told the powder was the consistency of Tide powdered detergent and it dissolved fairly easy according to my dad. Dad told me back then, bar soap or the powdered soap were the only options you had to clean up dishes. How I understood it, the powdered soap was harder to come by so bar soap was the go to when it came to cleaning up dishes.

Great tip, thanks. I have also seen velvet soap shaved then soaked to a gel in water to use as liquid laundry soap, I guess you could use this process and keep a bottle of liquid soap next to the sink but it might encourage to waste a little more. Could also pop a small cake of soap in a dish wash bag to suds up inside the dishcloth, so many ideas now xD This is much healthier than the commercial dish soaps on our skin. :)

I actually crochet little pads, the size of my bars for use at the sinks instead of a soap dish. They absorb moisture and keep the bars dry. At the kitchen sink I make them bigger so I can rub the bars on them, scrub the dishes, and when I'm done, rinse and twist them dry. Because they're made of cotton, they'll dry overnight, as will the bar of soap. I make a bunch of them, they take less than an hour each, because my family loves them!

Hi Elly, I made some dish soap. It's 70% coconut, 25% olive and 5% castor, with 3% citric acid and 0% superfat. I rub my sponge on the soap and lather it up instead of doing the cage method like you're demonstrating here. I think it washes well but it definitely left soap scum in the sink. Not liking that. 🙁 I rinse the dishes well and leave in the dish drainer to air dry - hopefully no scum on them.

Hi Elaine, you won't have scum on the dishes. It's normal to have some on your sink though when using soap. You might want to check out this recipe and see how I now use citric acid in my cleaning soap recipes ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5w-YxodZJxc.html

Elly, thank you, if people see what the chemical composition of dishwashing liquids is, they would never use it. We have been washing it with our own kitchen soap for years, there are also washing nuts that can be used to make washing-up liquid. Another option is chestnut. Kind Regards Ala

If I'm using the sink full of water method, no, I don't rinse them. Just dry them off straight away (which is why it's important to get just the right amount of soap). If I'm washing Asian style I pre-soap everything and then rinse off.

In my country, dishwasher is not popular, most of us Handwash our dishes. I use bar soap to wash my dishes for quite sometime. I just rinse off the food residue from the dishes, apply the soap to the sponges, wet the sponges a bit, and clean the dishes.

This is very interesting to me, not because of the soap but because you don't rinse the soapy water off. :) We use a two sink method of washing the dishes with soapy water then rinsing them, then putting in the drainer to dry. I just can't imagine not rinsing them off, about like taking a shower and not rinsing the shampoo out of your hair. Well, learn something new every day! :)

The best way to save water for a small batch of dishes is… scrape all the chunks off while lightly rinsing the dish. Take a wet sponge or scrubbie and rub it all over the soap bar until it gets sudsy, then scrub the dish with it. Rinse off the dish and you’re done!

Hi Elly. Thank you for making this simple video, which I enjoyed watching. I don't think you need to describe every little step in minute detail re your demonstration of hand washing. Surely we can use our own common sense in deciding whether we rinse......or not! As someone said below, you did mention the rinsing option, for those who chose not to hear it. I actually had 2 soap cages once - one for the laundry and one for the sink! These were given to me as a fun gift by my grandmother (from her old store of no longer used soap making equipment) at my pre wedding "kitchen evening" along with a box of Sunlight soap and a couple of blocks of Velvet soap. Wouldn't todays feminists have a field day of protest over that choice of equal rights gift?? 🤣 And you know what else! I actually used them for quite a while - being environmentally conscious before it was common practice. Like you, I always have a soap dish on my sink (laundry too) for hand washing, and all my visitors love using them. I actually get praised for not having liquid soap plastic bottles around. I always send them away with a block of my soap in the hope it will catch on! Keep making your wonderful videos Elly - you are a treasure. 🐾

Hi Elly, love your vids as always. What do you think about soap scum and fatbergs? We never pour oil down the sink but maybe soap is a contributory factor
@EllysEverydaySoapMaking
@EllysEverydaySoapMaking 3 года назад
Hi Clery, that's a good question! Soaps like these won't contribute to fatbergs I don't think, as they are made with a very low superfat which means that just about all of the oils are saponified and turned into soap. I've been using handmade soap for a long time around our household (as did my grandmother!) and have never had any plumbing issues. I use it in my washing machine as well and it (and it's pipes) are clean as a whistle. I think you'd have to watch high superfatted soaps though, they could cause issues. Another reason why I nearly always use the minimum superfat in my recipes.

Hi Elly :) After washing my dishes this way. ( using 100 percent coconut oil soap). My glass dishes tend to be cloudy. Wonder if it's the essential oil in the soap or my hard water ? Btw you should make a soap video using pieces of loofa gourds as imbeds. Or people use the broken ( undesirable pieces of the gourd) as scrubbers to get stuck on food off dished. Kinda neat. :)

I found this very interesting. I went to USA Amazon to see if I could find the wire soap savers, since they source from different countries. No luck. However you can still buy new handled steel wire cages on eBay, although pricy. But only in Australia! I went to a search engine to see if there was another name to try, and found picture after picture of antique ones in the image search. But only one new wire item, in Bangalore. I suppose modern soap practice has wiped them out. I thought for sure there would be ones still made in China, India, Pakistan that one could find, but not so much. A vanishing artifact.

@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking Here's something else I found... according to Wikipedia the Sunlight brand has never been marketed in the United States or Canada. And there aren't (have never been?) any other brands of dish detergent bar soap in the US. Maybe the only other detergent soap bar commonly avallable is Dial. Which I have never heard of as a dish soap. So maybe that adds to the mystique of people not knowing the practice of washing dishes with bar soap in the US and Canada. People experiment on RU-vid with Zote, which I believe is Mexican. I would not be surprised in the slightest if corporate board meetings have been held in order to have shielded profits in continental North American markets by denying detergent bar soap and continuing manufacture of the dreaded soap saving implement, lol!
