Now you finally have something useful you can make with all those annoying little soap slivers. You don't have to throw them out anymore, make an all purpose kitchen cleaner! With a few minutes and virtually no cost, you can have a bottle full of de-greaser ready to go. Re-duce, re-use, go green! :)
Total Time: 20 minutes
Yield: 22 ounces
Source: Modified from an idea in a book called Make It
Supplies:
- 1/4 cup finely chopped soap slivers
- 1 Tbsp borax
- 2 3/4 cup water
- empty spray bottle
- funnel
Steps:
- As you can see, I opted for intact fingers and chose to chop the soap with a knife. The pieces are just too small. :)
- Add 1 cup of water to a pot.
- Add your soap.
- Stir continuously with a fork or whisk over medium/high heat until soap is dissolved. This should take about 5 minutes. Soap soup, smells really clean!
- Add this mixture to your bottle.
- Add the borax.
- Add remaining 1 3/4 cups water. Replace top and gently tilt back and forth to combine.
- Make a new label so you know what it is. :) All set! Great for grimy stoves, oven hoods, microwaves, etc.

I love it. I spend way too much on degreasers. Thumbs up!

Trying it on my stove top, I had to use 2 applications to clean the spatters of grease off. I hope it works better on the BBQ!
