Brilio.net - Dishwashing soap is an essential cleaning product that must be in every home. This soap is used to clean various kitchen utensils such as plates, glasses, cutlery, and cooking utensils. The advantage of dishwashing soap compared to regular soap is its effective ability to remove stubborn grease and food stains.
Because it is often used, dish soap can run out quickly , and buying soap continuously can increase household expenses. Increasing dish soap can be a more economical solution. There are ways to increase dish soap without just mixing it with water. Some people add salt or baking soda to increase the volume of soap, so that even if water is added, the soap still produces a lot of foam and makes kitchen utensils clean and dry.

However, keep in mind that adding water and these ingredients can change the texture of the soap. Dish soap that was originally thick can become very runny. If the texture is too runny, soap usage will also increase.

One way to increase dish soap is to add bar soap, not just water, salt, or baking soda. YouTube Live user HAQQ, quoted by BrilioFood on Tuesday (10/12), shared this method using 650 ml of dish soap. The method is, pour the soap into a jug or container, then rinse the inside of the soap plastic with water to remove any remaining soap, and pour the water into a container.

Prepare another container, add the bar soap, and dissolve it with 1 liter of water poured little by little while stirring slowly so that there is not much foam. Once dissolved, strain the soap while continuing to add water so that there is no sediment. Transfer it to a jug containing dish soap, pour in the bar soap while straining it, and stir slowly so that it is evenly mixed without foam.

Add a maximum of 2 liters of water gradually while stirring slowly, adjust the portion of water to the desired thickness. Let stand until the foam is gone, then transfer the soap into a bottle. The soap that was originally 640 ml can become 3 liters, remains thick, and is effective in cleaning oily kitchen utensils.
