Soap Making:

Take your bar of soap (we use Dove or store brand like it, because it's more moisturizing), and grate it with a cheese grater.
Pour the water and grated soap into a microwaveable container and cook on high for 3 min.
Remove and stir until all soap bits have melted (put in a bit longer, if needed).
Let it cool, then pour into pumps (leftover from store bought liquid soap), and the remainder in any container with a lid.
Pour Borax, Vinegar & soap into a bucket. Add water & essential oil (optional). Clean your floor.

Once the floor dries, you will NOT smell the vinegar.
