I had a great time testing out Dr Bronner's Castille Soap! While I did not see any claims to kill any percentage of bacteria by Dr Bronner's brand, I tested Dr Bronner's ability to disinfect because it was a view request! I test how well Dr Bronner disinfects by using sterile swabs and Petri dishes. Thanks for watching!

There are three in particular that I have in mind and one maaaay surprise you: Can you test coconut oil, tea tree oil and lemon oil? You could do it in one video or separate ones, (whatever you feel is feasible or most effective). I’m not sure if you can test on your sink and toilet because it’s oil, but if you can PLEASE go for it!👍🏾 I’ve used coconut oil as a disinfectant on open wounds (mostly when I nursed my oldest) and it seemed to work really well, but I’m curious about what your findings would be.

@merfibeemused 2 месяца назад

I'm not a fan of Castile soap. Dr Bronners has lots of different oils that make up it's ingredients (6 or 7 if I remember correctly). My mother-in-law loves it and uses it without dilution, but unfortunately her shower gets blocked every few months and I have to rod it. We have hard water and I think it's reacting with the soap and leaving a residue of solidified oil down the pipe that's building up over time... it's a real pain. I'm hoping she'll heed my advice start diluting it significantly, as she's reluctant to give it up completely. Personally I can't recommend this brand or any other heavily oil based soap if you live in a hard water area.

@FieldOfFocus 2 месяца назад

Give this blog post a read... maybe your mother in law will try Sal Suds instead... in the blog they mention hard water with the castile soap. www.lisabronner.com/sal-suds-or-castile-soap-which-one-should-you-use/

I do have two videos about cleaning my top loader HE “Fix a Stinky Washing Machine Using My Bissell Power Steamer!!” and “Clean Your Washing Machine Now!!!!!! Review of the Basket Clean Cycle.” I think if I were you, I would get a flashlight, get some wipes or a cloth and wipe the inside of the drum and see how much dirt/grime comes off. Look at the drain holes, are they clogged like mine where in the stinky washing machine video? Then wipe all around the gaskets, see if you can find the source of the moldy smell. Really get up into the folds and see if you can find the source. GOOD LUCK!!!

@carolinehtom 2 месяца назад

@@FieldOfFocus I know you are probably already overwhelmed with all the suggestions you get, I have been experimenting with another natural cleaner and would love to see your tests on it. It is a homemade natural cleaner made with soap nuts. This is the recipe: 2 liters of water, 25-30 soap nuts boil down to 1 liter. If there are seeds inside, deseed them. Them squish the pulp to extract saponins. Strain. This can be used as an all purpose cleaner, hand wash, dish soap, body wash, floor cleaner, or can be used to do laundry. --dishsoap and hand wash: It can be used at full strength to wash the dishes or as hand wash. I would love to see its effectiveness, if it really does work well as good hand wash to remove bacteria. - all purpose cleaner: 25% soapberry extract and 75% water vs. full strength , I would be interested to see how it works on all the surfaces you normally do your testings on - for floor cleaner: 1,5 cups of soapnut water, 1 cup of vinegar, 1 big heaped teaspoon of pink Himalayan sea salt, 8 drops of tea tree essential oil, 8 drops of lavender oil. Mix together and dilute with water before using to clean the floor. 50-100 ml of the liquid for one bucket of water. - laundry: people seem to like using it as a natural laundry solution, there are two ways of using soap nuts for this purpose: one is to use 150-200 ml of Soapnut liquid (n the place provided for detergents) for about 6 kg of laundry. Another way is to take about 10-12 whole Soapnuts (can be deseeded or with seeds; this measurement is for 6-8 kgs of clothes) and put them in an old sock and tie the mouth of the socks tightly such that no soapnuts can escape. Then we throw in this sock along with the wash load (with the clothes, not in the place provided for detergents) and run the machine like we normally would . This maybe extremely time consuming, I just couldn’t stop myself from wondering about this after watching all of your videos and learning so much. Maybe that would also be interesting to you to see if homemade natural cleaners are any good at removing bacteria. Thank you again, your channel is one of my best finds on RU-vid.

Didn't the website say to wait 10 minutes for the toilet, could that be why the toilet did so badly. I would think the Toilets would have the most germs, my kitchen counter and ect I wash a few times a day but my bathroom toilet I only do 3 times a week, could making the mixture a little stronger or letting it sit for the 10 work better for the toilet.

@FieldOfFocus Год назад

Hi there! Yes the website said wait 10 minutes and that is what I did for the toilet bowl. Sample, spray, wait ten minutes, scrub, flush, resample. I think the biggest thing to remember is that Dr Bronners is a cleaner, it is not a disinfectant or sanitizer. They do not have any claims that they remove bacteria. For my home, Dr Bronner's doesn't remove much bacteria from my toilet bowl. Would a less dilute solution work better? I am not sure, I haven't tested that yet.

@DJRenee 9 месяцев назад

Those two bad ones probably needed at least 10 minutes which is actually standard.

I thought this could be helpful.

I just bought one bottle with almond, diluted it with water to 1:4. It cleans my kitchen spotless with no scrubbing. However my fingers got so dry after 15 mins continued cleaning. Perhaps next time I should wear gloves. Any one with the same reaction? I wondered how it works as body wash and shampoo, I dare not to try so.

@FieldOfFocus 7 месяцев назад

It is possible the soap is drying out your hands. You could try gloves or use hand lotion immediately after cleaning. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@debrahalbert6578 2 месяца назад

Dr bronners is extremely drying. Try Mama suds will not hurt your plumbing like Dr. Bronners. Google it if you like😊

Maybe it would be better if you can do it but with all the protocols taking all those tests and the microbiological process to do it in a lab. By the way is a real good video.

Is this product safe for everyday bath

@FieldOfFocus Год назад

I do not have any information or way of testing product safety for bathing. However, the Dr Bronner's website they do have dilutions for use on the skin info.drbronner.com/all-one-blog/2023/02/dilutions-cheat-sheet-dr-bronners-pure-castile-soap/ Thanks for watching!

@chicagorhtours 3 месяца назад

thanks. Can you recommend some/a way to do these bacteria tests in our homes, places we frequent? Is there a way to DIY incubator or use a near by science lab? I note that here in Chicago the whole City went nuts 4 years ago with COVID about sanitation, masks, public interaction, now pretty much nothing - and we've been flooded with very unhealthy migrants who have measles, TB I suspect sanitation, lack of vaccines and crowding are an issue. I 'd like to promote cleanliness and sanitation in my, neighbors, business, public spaces - can you give me/us some recommendations about doing these tests?

@FieldOfFocus 3 месяца назад

The best thing I can suggest you to do in your homes, is to use a product that I have tested that you are pleased with the results and use them according to the manufacturers directions on the packaging. I think for business and public spaces you should reach out to your Department of Health and ask what they require of the businesses and public areas to be cleaned.

@@FieldOfFocus This is Chicago - the City that used to work. Now all our city government departments are Woke, racial. Those remaining civilized people left behind in Chicago are now scrambling to do things on our own, like prevent car jackings, youth mob flash mobs takeovers of areas, rioting and looting. It's naive to think the Chicago city government is going to protect us, pick up the garbage police the streets or keep bars and restaurants clean. That's a nope.

So what would you say is the best cleaner for sink and toilet?

@FieldOfFocus 2 года назад

This is such an amazing question! I cannot say quite yet which is the best for the sink, because I have many more cleaners to test! I am in the process of combining all my results so I can create a comprehensive review. For the toilet bowl, Clorox Toilet Bowl cleaner with bleach has been the stand out. Thank you so much for watching!

@Lifelogsbysteph 4 месяца назад

do we have any tests if you don’t wait for 5 mins?

@FieldOfFocus 4 месяца назад

I do not have any Dr Bronner's test with other wait times yet. I do have many other cleaners tested at a variety of wait times. thanks for watching!

@Christine112359 Год назад

Results are a bit confusing. Smooth surfaces such as bathroom sink and kitchen counter Dr. Bonners did very well but if it did so well on those why wouldn't it work on a smooth surface such as the toilet base?

@FieldOfFocus Год назад

So Dr Bronner's is not a sanitizer or disinfectant, it is a cleaner (I have a video where I explain the differences). " What is a Cleaner vs Sanitizer vs Disinfectant? & How I Test Some Products Against These Claims!".that is the first thing to remember. Then different sanitizers and disinfectants work differently on various surfaces and types of bacteria. It is possible that the Dr Bronners cleaner is able to remove the type of bacteria in one location but not another. Having Dr Bronners remove bacteria is an extra treat since it has no claims of being able to do so! Thanks for watching!

@boots7859 Год назад

Most likely, germ load is simply multiple times greater on base vs sink/counter. You can see where the B/A there is a decent reduction, but its just what happens when you use a cleaner vs a disinfectant.

Hi there! I think Dr Bronner's is a great body wash! I wouldn't worry about using it!! If your skin feels good then I would keep using it!

@Kiki.shannan Год назад

That's a surprising thing to say about it being unscented in hazardous because it's casso which means you can use it on your body in your mouth like literally anywhere it's actually on the bottle itself like it there's a lot on that bottom. I know people that use it to literally brush their teeth I personally don't like the taste I like putting it in my washer when I wash my linen sheets the lavender one is my favorite. I also like to mix it with my bleach because bleach smell could be overwhelming but yeah.

@FieldOfFocus Год назад

Hello! I don't think I said it was hazardous, but just a caution about all unscented cleaners. I agree that Dr Bronner's is a diverse cleaner and it is one of my favorites.

@christabarrett3249 Год назад

the importance of adding essential oils is how and what you are cleaning. if you are cleaning and want more antimicrobial and anti bacterial clean you would want to add peppermint/ green tea essential oils and yuzu/ citrus oils... if you want to do something like laundry you would want to mix your essential oils with a floral essential oils... dr. bronners is best when mixed with essential oils but you need to learn how to use them... cause if you have hard water you should be using an apple cider vinegar mix with baking soda to rinse soap down afterwards.

@FieldOfFocus Год назад

Interesting. So when you say Dr Bronners is best when mixed with EO, how do you mean? I am absolutely willing to test out more EO in bacteria removal, just like I did for TJ's DIY cleaner video, but I need ratios or a recipe to make. Sounds like you know a lot about EOs, so perhaps you have a spray recipe you would share? I would like to test EO in a spray without soaps to see how well diluted EOs remove bacteria on their own. There are so many things to test out. I have a viewer suggestion list of about 250 now and would love to add some of those DIY EO cleaners. Oh and how do you use it in laundry? I conduct laundry tests as well. How many drops? mls? When do you add it.. etc. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@boots7859 Год назад

I'm a new sub, and only watched a few of your vids. My suggestion is that you might want to keep a running tally of your results with active ingredients broken out. Dr. Bronner's which I use for various things is really a Castille soap, with primarily: Organic Coconut Oil*, Organic Palm Oil*, Sodium Hydroxide**, Water, Organic Olive Oil*, Organic Hemp Oil, Organic Jojoba Oil, Sea Salt, Citric Acid, Tocopherol So old-school saponified soap with a little salt and citric acid and Lye. I know you had some good results with essential oils, however I am thinking in this case that would not be helpful here as the oils have been saponified. Would like to see you retest with the Tea Tree oil, however if you've already tested it which I think you did, I don't know if the dwell time is long enough to add anything spectacular. Its a great cleaner, just not much different than any basic soap. Just found the below site which can help find product ingredients. incidecoder.com/products/dr-bronners-pure-castile-bar-soap

@FieldOfFocus Год назад

I really should create some sort of spreadsheet with this info plus results, thank you for that site... Your old school suggestion is a good one too, I put it on my list! I will add some more Tea Tree oil testing, I know a lot of people add it to cleaning products and swear by it. :)
