CARA MEMBUAT LAPISAN PENGKILAP (LILIN)

Basic Beeswax Formulas
Beeswax makes a superior polish for wood and leather. For recipes calling for shredded
wax, grate the wax into shavings with a cheese/vegetable grater.
Leather Dressing
5-6 oz. Beeswax
8 oz. tallow
8 oz. neatsfoot oil
This is not a polish. It is a lotion that conditions and waterproofs smooth
leather superbly. Heat ingredients together to 160 degrees F. Mix thoroughly
and pour into containers.
~~Roughly equal parts of beeswax and olive oil melted together is all that has been
needed for centuries to make a salve that helps prevent and heal chapping and rough
skin. Olive oil has been mixed with beeswax for centuries, and is good for dry skin that
needs to be softened. In modern times odorless/colorless mineral oil has been mixed
with beeswax to make a soft, flexible coating that is not absorbed by the skin and repels
water yet is removed easily with soap and water.
A Basic Concentrated Hand Lotion

5 parts by volume beeswax
3 parts by volume coconut oil
A cream that is fairly solid when cold but will “melt” onto your hands as you
rub it in….
Melt ingredients in separate heat-resistant wide-mouth jars in a simmering
pan of water. Measure the melted ingredients into another jar in the the pan of
simmering water. Mix thoroughly. Place the mixture jar in a pan of cool water
and continue stirring. Transfer the cool cream into final containers. Ingredients
other than coconut oil may be used. It is in this formula because it melts at
skin temperature. Olive oil is often mixed with beeswax to make a skin lotion.
When whaling was an industry, spermaceti was prized for skin lotions – and
lamp oil, curiously enough.
Lip Balm
1 Tablespoon shredded beeswax
2 Tablespoon coconut oil
1/2 teaspoon glycerine (optional)
1 large vitamin E capsule
1-2 tsp. honey.
4 drops of essential oil such as almond, peppermint, orange or lemon.
Heat the beeswax, coconut oil and glycerine to 160 deg F. Add the vitamin E
capsule and stir until melted. Remove from heat. Add the honey and stir until
the mixture starts to thicken (140 degrees or so), then evenly add the
essential oil while stirring and continue to stir the mixture until cool. Pour into
final containers (like small screw-top balm jars) at about 120 degrees and let
set until completely cool.
“Natural” Lip Gloss
1 Tablespoon shredded beeswax
2 Tablespoons oil of your choice
Natural coloring as needed
Heat the beeswax and oil to 160 deg F. For color, add a natural vegetable
coloring (like beet powder, raspberry or blackberry juice, or even coffee that
has been ground into a powdery consistency, etc.). You will have to
experiment with the right combination of wax oil and color. Pour into final
containers and let set until completely cool. Package with a lipstick brush.
~~Lanolin was first suggested for use in cosmetics during WWII as a substitute for
beeswax, which was needed for the war effort (another story altogether). After the war
its use was continued and the foul-smelling grayish goo remains with us cosmetically to
this day. Lanolin, to be blunt, is wool grease. Anyone who’s ever smelled a wool
rendering plant or has felt pure lanolin can understand the term “wool grease.” Lanolin is
not listed in any of the formulas on this page but it may be used in any of the formulas
for skin or cosmetic use and it is often mixed with beeswax commercially.
Basic Beeswax Cold Cream

1 part Beeswax (17%) (all parts by weight)
2 parts Water (33%)
3 parts Oil (50%)
Borax – 5% to 6% of the beeswax used
Heat the beeswax and oil to 160 degrees F. Heat the borax and water to 160
degrees F. Mix and stir. Perfumes or essential oils should be added at 140
degrees F, and the mixture should be stirred until it is 120 degrees when it
should be poured in jars and allowed to cool.
The borax emulsifies the beeswax, sort of like making soap. Borax is alkali
and it neutralizes the fatty acids in beeswax when mixed, producing an oil-
water emulsion cream-like in consistancy.
Artists’ Varnish
3 parts in volume of finest turpentine spirit
1 part in volume of pure bleached beeswax.
Heat the wax and turpentine to 160 degrees F. Mix thoroughly until cool. Wax
varnish has a beautiful non-glossy sheen. It is easy to remove from a painting
or plaque without damaging the paint, though it yellows a little faster then
most other varnishes so you will have to clean your painting sooner (after ten
to fifteen years). However, it gives a period effect that is hard to duplicate with
modern materials.
Basic Beeswax Wood Polish
1-1/2 parts Turpentine or white spirits
1 part Beeswax
Heat the wax to 160 degrees F. Heat the solvent to 160 degrees and add to
the wax. Mix until cool, then transfer to final containers.The ratio of solvent to
beeswax determines whether this is a paste wax or a liquid polish. Other
ingredients are often added such as pigments, lemon oil, linseed oil, or tung
oil. More volatile solvents such as naptha aare also added or substituted to
make a faster-drying, thinner polish Carnauba wax is often added to make a
harder, shinier finish.
Classically, on “raw” wood the paste polish is applied warm, so the turpentine
soaks into the pores of the wood and pulls some beeswax with it. Excess polish
is brushed or scraped off. When dry, the resultant wax film is polished with brisk
rubbing. This beeswax and turpentine polish may be “renewed” many times by
brisk polishing. When more wax is finally necessary, though, it is best to remove
as much of the old wax as possible before applying more polish. Old wax will
often “gum up” and make polishing more difficult.

CARA MEMBUAT PENGHARUM RUANGAN (GEL)

YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN GREAT SMELLING GEL AIR
FRESHENERS, USING LIQUID POTPOURRI, OR FROM
SCRATCH. THEY MAKE GREAT GIFTS!
You will need:

 2 cups of distilled water
 Essential oil/fragrance of your choice.
 4 packages of knox gelatin
 Food coloring (optional)
Heat 1 cup of water almost to a boil. Add the gelatin and stir until dissolved. Remove
from heat add another cup of distilled water, 10-20 drops of oil/fragrance, and food
coloring if desired.
You can replace food coloring and oil/fragrance with premade liquid potpourri (available
at most craft stores, candle shops, etc.). Just make sure it’s the concentrated kind or it
won’t retain its smell. The procedure would be the same. Heat 1 cup of the liquid
potpourri, almost to a boil. Stir in 4 packets of Knox gelatin, until dissolved. Then stir in 1
cup cool liquid potpourri.
Pour the mixture into clean baby food jars and set at room temperature overnight until
“set”. You can place the jars in the refrigerator if you need them to set more quickly, but
be aware that the smell will permeate the fridge.
For gift giving, you can decorate the baby food jars by wrapping with material, or glueing
on wallpaper, stickers, wrapping paper, etc.
To use, place the jar on the stovetop (not directly on the burner!) while cooking, heat in a
potpourri burner, or simply set out on a table and enjoy the aroma.

Thanks to Margaret Latham, MAGPIE@stic.net, for this addition:

I have made my own gel fresheners by using the concentrated liquid potpouri (1 cup)
instead of water and essential oils. I buy my at the local “dollar” store so the investment
is small but I don’t have any problems with mold growing. I’ve given several containers
away that I made and everyone enjoys them tremendously. My portions are as follows:

 1 c. concentrated liquid potpouri
 2 envelopes Knox unflavored gelatin
 Empty jar
Heat potpouri until almost to a boil. Remove from heat and add 2 envelopes of gelatin.
Stir to dissolve gelatin and pour into clean decorative jar. Place piece of plastic wrap
over jar and secure with rubber band. Either place in refrigerator for quick set or leave
out overnight on counter. Cover with piece of starched “lace” and wrap with ribbon to
decorate. Before using, remove plastic wrap and recover jar with lace cover. Hope my
hint helps with this wonderful craft idea.

CARA MEMBUAT SHAMPOO DI RUMAH

Truly Homemade ShampooShampoo is just liquid soap, usually made with vegetable oils
rather than animal fat, and with glycerine and alcohol added during the soapmaking process.
The basic ingredients for regular soap are lye (potash leached from ashes)*NOTE, fat (animal
tallow) or oil, and water. (Depending on how basic you want to get, you could even make your
own lye and render your own fat, but that’s very time consuming.)
Try the following recipe for a gentle homemade shampoo:
 2 lb. 10 oz. olive oil
 1 lb. 7 ox. of solid-type vegetable shortening
 1 lb. coconut oil
 10 1/4 oz. lye
 2 pt. water
 1 1/2 oz. glycerine
 1/2 oz. alcohol
 1 1/2 oz castor oil
 NOTE: You will need a candy thermometer to test temperatures.
Mix oils together. Place in a container and set the container in a large pan.Mix the lye solution –
pour the lye into an enamel coated container of 2 pints of cold water and stir steadily. When
cooled, pour lye solution into a glass container and set in another large pan. Bring both to
between 95° and 98° F – this will mean pouring either cold or hot water into the pans, depending
on the original temperature of the ingredients.
Add the lye solution to the oils, pouring in a steady stream while continuing to stir. The mixture
will turn opaque and brownish, then will lighten. It’s ready when its surface can support a drop of
mixture for a moment. The consistency should be like sour cream.
Stir in 1 1/2 oz. glycerine 1/2 oz. alcohol and 1 1/2 oz castor oil. Add any colorants, scents you
desire.
Now, you can pour the mixture into molds and allow to harden, then make the shampoo as you
need it by shaving off flakes and boiling in water until they dissolve – about 1 pound of shavings
per gallon of water. Or, you can add more water to mixture, boil, and allow to cool, then place in
bottles for use.

LIQUID EYEGLASS CLEANER AND “ANTI-FOG”
This product is a small plastic vial with screw cap, in which a piece of chemically
saturated folded felt is packed. When the screw cap is removed, this wet piece of felt
extends up and above the top opening of the vial, so that the plastic container serves as
an applicator when the screw cap is removed.
The product is designed as a quick and easy lens cleaner for eye glasses and to use it,
you simply remove the cap, dab the wet felt lightly on each side of the eye glass lens
and then polish off with a handkerchief or tissue. It not only cleans the lens with a
sparkling clarity but it also retards fogging of the lens under certain conditions of heat
and cold.
Another feature is its long lasting effect, so convincingly demonstrated by suggesting
that the customer or prospect smear a LENZ-BRITE cleaned lens with his finger and
then polish off with his handkerchief, without further application of the cleaner. This
feature makes one application last all day long.
The product is simple to make – all that is needed is your vial which may be plastic or
glass, the felt or any absorbent substance that will hold the non-drying cleaning solution
and the solution itself. The absorbent substance may be felt, synthetic sponge, cotton
wicking, or even a piece of cloth rolled up to fit the small container or dispenser.
FORMULA FOR THE SOLUTION:
Ethylene Glycol . . . . . . . . 8 parts Wetting Agent . . . . . . . . . 1 part

INSECTS IN THE GARDEN
APHIDS:
To keep aphids and other pests off your roses: Finely chop
 1 onion
 2 medium cloves of garlic
Put ingredients into a blender with 2 cups of water and blend on high. Strain out pulp.
Pour liquid into spray bottle. Spray a fine mist on rose bushes, making sure to coat both
tops and bottoms of leaves.
ALUMINUM FOIL “FOILS” APHIDS
Use an aluminum foil much around the base of plants such as tomatoes. The reflection
confuses the insects and drives them away.
SPIDER MITES:
Combine 1/2 cup buttermilk, 4 cups wheat flour and 5 gallons water. Suffocates spider
mites and other mites.
MEALYBUGS:
Apply rubbing alcohol to insect clusters with cotton swab. Wash with insecticidal soap
and rinse. Isolate infected plant if possible.
CABBAGE WORMS:
Sprinkle flour on developing cabbage heads. The flour swells up inside the worms and
bursts their intestines.
SLUGS:
 Sprinkle salt directly onto slug. They shrivel up and die.
 Place shallow bowl of beer on the ground near slug trails and leave overnight.
 Copper wire? That’s what Martha Stewart says. Coil a piece of wire around the
base of your plants to give slugs a shocking experience. They won’t come back.
GENERAL INSECT REPELLENT:
To help protect flowers, vegetables and shrubs from insects attacks.
Recipe 1:

 1/2 cup dead insects
 2 cups water
When insects infest flowers, vegetables or shrubs, identify and gather the pests. Collect
at least 1/2 cupful. Place in an old blender with the water. Blend on high, and then strain
out the pulp using a cheesecloth or fine sieve. Dilute at a rate of 1/4 cup to 1 cup of
water. Pour liquid into a spray bottle and apply to plants. Will keep up to a year, stored in
a tightly sealed container.
Recipe 2:

 3 hot green peppers (canned or fresh)
 2 or 3 cloves garlic
 3/4 tsp liquid soap
 3 cups water
Puree the peppers and garlic cloves in a blender. Pour into a spray bottle and add the
liquid soap and water. Let stand 24 hours. Strain out pulp and spray onto infested plants,
making sure to coat both tops and bottoms of leaves.
CAUTION: Always test any new insecticide on a few small leaves before starting a full-
scale application.

Stains on Furniture
For water rings left by cups or glasses, rub with an abrasive. MILD abrasive: moisten cigarette or
cigar ashes with a little cooking oil and apply with your finger. MED abrasive: table salt
moistened, or silver polish.
Take a little mayonaise on you finger and dab it right on the water stain, let it sit for
approximately five to ten minutes, or more, remove with a clean cloth. Water stain should be
gone. Another tip that I’ve heard and have tried only once, is to take the ashes from those ugly
cigaretts from the ash tray and apply to the water stain. This works too, but I prefer the
mayo. Contributed by Try2craft@webtv.net
Rug Stains – Kevin says almost any stain can be “lifted” from your carpet by using baking soda.
For old, dry stains, wet the area thoroughly first with warm water, then cover with baking soda.
Vacuum when dry. Repeat if necessary. Very stubborn stains may need to be scrubbed with a wet
sponge and baking soda. I tried this on dog vomit, and it worked!

HOMEMADE SOAP RECIPES
| Liquid/Gel Soap | Vanilla & Almond Soap | Coconut & Olive Soap |Peaches &
Cream Bath Bar | Cinnamon Soap |
| Mechanic’s Hand Cleanser | Recycle Soap Ideas |
Liquid / Gel Soap
 2 cups soap flakes or grated bar soap
 1/2 gallon water
 2 tbsp glycerin
Mix ingredients together in a large pot or dutch oven. Set over low heat, stirring occasionally
until the soap has dissolved. Transfer to a jar and cover tightly. For a less thick gel soap, use 1
gallon of water.Vanilla and Almond Soap
This soap is great for removing dirt and oil from the skin without drying. Vanilla gives it a
delicious fragrance and the ground almonds provide a beautifully textured soap. (Makes one bar.)

 1/3 cup whole almonds
 1 4-ounce bar Castile soap
 1/4 cup distilled water
 1 tablespoon almond oil
 1/8 teaspoon vanilla fragrance oil
Grind the almonds to a fine powder in a food processor or coffee grinder and set aside. Shred the
soap and set aside. In a heavy saucepan bring the water to a boil; then reduce heat to a simmer;
Remove the pan from the heat and add the almond powder, almond oil, and vanilla fragrance oil,
stirring until well blended. Spoon the soap into a mold and let set for five hours or until
hardened…
Coconut & Olive SoapThis recipe has been revised by Christin Ocasio, Owner, Wyndham
Soapworks. See her notes in sidebar.

 1 cup olive oil
 1 cup coconut oil
 1 cup melted tallow (animal fat)
 2 tbsp lye (heaping) (*NOTE)
 1/2 cup cold soft water
has been changed to:

 8 oz weight olive oil
 8 oz weight coconut oil
 8 oz weight rendered tallow
 3.49 oz weight sodium hydroxide (pure lye) Red Devil brand 100% lye (*NOTE)
 9 fluid oz water
While wearing safety goggles and neoprene gloves, combine solid lye and liquid, stir well. Set
aside and allow to cool (100° F to 125° F). This is best done outside while you are standing
upwind.Combine oils and heat gently. Once the fats and oils are melted allow the temperature to
drop to 100° F to 125° F.
Combine lye solution and melted oils. Be careful not to splash while combining the mixtures. Stir
until the mixture traces. If tracing takes more than 15 minutes, which it often does, stir for the
first 15 minutes, then stir for 5 minutes at 15 minute intervals. Tracing looks like a slightly
thickened custard, not instant pudding but a cooked custard. It will support a drop, or your stir
marks for several seconds. Once tracing occurs…
Pour raw soap into your prepared molds. After a few days the soap can be turned out of the mold.
If the soap is very soft, allow it to cure for a few days to firm the outside.
Cut soap into bars and set the bars out to cure and dry. This will allow the bar to firm and finish
saponification. Place the bars on something that will allow them to breathe.
Note: If you don’t want to mess with tallow and lye, you can substitute shavings from any white
unscented soap.

Peaches And Cream Bath BarMakes One Bar 1 4-ounce bar

 Castile soap (or pure white unscented… like ivory)
 1/4 cup powdered milk
 1 tablespoon sweet almond oil
 1/8 teaspoon peach fragrance oil
 1 drop orange food coloring {optional}
Shred the Castile soap and set aside. Heat the water in a heavy saucepan over low heat. Stir in the
shredded soap until it forms a sticky mass. Remove the pan from the heat and add the powdered
milk, Sweet almond oil, Peach fragrance oil, food coloring; stir until well-blended. Spoon the
soap into its mold and let set for four hours or until hardened.

(Gifts from the Home) by Kelly Reno

Cinnamon Soap
 unscented glycerin soap
 10 drops cinnamon oil
 1 drop red food coloring {optional}
In a heavy saucepan, melt the glycerin soap over low heat until liquefied. Remove the pan from
the heat and stir in the cinnamon oil and coloring until well mixed. Pour the soap into a mold and
let set for three hours or until hardened. Makes One Bar 1 4-ounce bar.

Mechanic’s Hand CleanserGrind up a bar or two of your soap…

 1 c. borax
 1-2 t. pure turpentine
 1 t. sweet orange essential oil
 1 c. ground soap
With very clean hands, work the turpentine and essential oil into the borax until there are no
lumps left, then work into the soap. Keep it in a wide-mouthed jar or tin that’s easy for him to
open when his hands are greasy, and which you won’t mind getting black on the outside. Don’t
forget to put a nail brush and pumice stone out with the hand cleanser.
Recycle old soap!
Here are several ideas for re-using those little bits of leftover soap:
* Use as tailor’s chalk – mark darts and hems on washable fabric
* Make bubble bath – shave and crumble and add to bath
* Make new soap cakes – get them wet and stick them together to make a new bar!
* Make shower soap – Put slivers and pieces into the toe of some old pantyhose. Tie a knot in
the nylon just above the toe, and another at about the knee. Hang in the shower.

cup cool liquid potpourri.
Pour the mixture into clean baby food jars and set at room temperature overnight until
“set”. You can place the jars in the refrigerator if you need them to set more quickly, but
be aware that the smell will permeate the fridge.
For gift giving, you can decorate the baby food jars by wrapping with material, or glueing
on wallpaper, stickers, wrapping paper, etc.
To use, place the jar on the stovetop (not directly on the burner!) while cooking, heat in a
potpourri burner, or simply set out on a table and enjoy the aroma.

Thanks to Margaret Latham, MAGPIE@stic.net, for this addition:

I have made my own gel fresheners by using the concentrated liquid potpouri (1 cup)
instead of water and essential oils. I buy my at the local “dollar” store so the investment
is small but I don’t have any problems with mold growing. I’ve given several containers
away that I made and everyone enjoys them tremendously. My portions are as follows:

 1 c. concentrated liquid potpouri
 2 envelopes Knox unflavored gelatin
 Empty jar
Heat potpouri until almost to a boil. Remove from heat and add 2 envelopes of gelatin.
Stir to dissolve gelatin and pour into clean decorative jar. Place piece of plastic wrap
over jar and secure with rubber band. Either place in refrigerator for quick set or leave
out overnight on counter. Cover with piece of starched “lace” and wrap with ribbon to
decorate. Before using, remove plastic wrap and recover jar with lace cover. Hope my
hint helps with this wonderful craft idea.

Cara membuat Shampoo di rumah

Truly Homemade ShampooShampoo is just liquid soap, usually made with vegetable oils rather than
animal fat, and with glycerine and alcohol added during the soapmaking process.
The basic ingredients for regular soap are lye (potash leached from ashes)*NOTE, fat (animal
tallow) or oil, and water. (Depending on how basic you want to get, you could even make your
own lye and render your own fat, but that’s very time consuming.)
Try the following recipe for a gentle homemade shampoo:
 2 lb. 10 oz. olive oil
 1 lb. 7 ox. of solid-type vegetable shortening
 1 lb. coconut oil
 10 1/4 oz. lye
 2 pt. water
 1 1/2 oz. glycerine
 1/2 oz. alcohol
 1 1/2 oz castor oil
 NOTE: You will need a candy thermometer to test temperatures.
Mix oils together. Place in a container and set the container in a large pan.Mix the lye solution –
pour the lye into an enamel coated container of 2 pints of cold water and stir steadily. When
cooled, pour lye solution into a glass container and set in another large pan. Bring both to
between 95° and 98° F – this will mean pouring either cold or hot water into the pans, depending
on the original temperature of the ingredients.
Add the lye solution to the oils, pouring in a steady stream while continuing to stir. The mixture
will turn opaque and brownish, then will lighten. It’s ready when its surface can support a drop of
mixture for a moment. The consistency should be like sour cream.
Stir in 1 1/2 oz. glycerine 1/2 oz. alcohol and 1 1/2 oz castor oil. Add any colorants, scents you
desire.
Now, you can pour the mixture into molds and allow to harden, then make the shampoo as you
need it by shaving off flakes and boiling in water until they dissolve – about 1 pound of shavings
per gallon of water. Or, you can add more water to mixture, boil, and allow to cool, then place in
bottles for use.

LIQUID EYEGLASS CLEANER AND “ANTI-FOG”
This product is a small plastic vial with screw cap, in which a piece of chemically
saturated folded felt is packed. When the screw cap is removed, this wet piece of felt
extends up and above the top opening of the vial, so that the plastic container serves as
an applicator when the screw cap is removed.
The product is designed as a quick and easy lens cleaner for eye glasses and to use it,
you simply remove the cap, dab the wet felt lightly on each side of the eye glass lens
and then polish off with a handkerchief or tissue. It not only cleans the lens with a
sparkling clarity but it also retards fogging of the lens under certain conditions of heat
and cold.
Another feature is its long lasting effect, so convincingly demonstrated by suggesting
that the customer or prospect smear a LENZ-BRITE cleaned lens with his finger and
then polish off with his handkerchief, without further application of the cleaner. This
feature makes one application last all day long.
The product is simple to make – all that is needed is your vial which may be plastic or
glass, the felt or any absorbent substance that will hold the non-drying cleaning solution
and the solution itself. The absorbent substance may be felt, synthetic sponge, cotton
wicking, or even a piece of cloth rolled up to fit the small container or dispenser.
FORMULA FOR THE SOLUTION:
Ethylene Glycol . . . . . . . . 8 parts Wetting Agent . . . . . . . . . 1 part
Water . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8 parts
PROCEDURE:
Mix the wetting agent in the water and then stir in the Ethylene Glycol. We have given
the units as “PARTS”. You may consider the parts as drams, ounces, pints, quarts or
gallons according to size batch you wish to make.

Stains on Furniture
For water rings left by cups or glasses, rub with an abrasive. MILD abrasive: moisten cigarette or
cigar ashes with a little cooking oil and apply with your finger. MED abrasive: table salt
moistened, or silver polish.
Take a little mayonaise on you finger and dab it right on the water stain, let it sit for
approximately five to ten minutes, or more, remove with a clean cloth. Water stain should be
gone. Another tip that I’ve heard and have tried only once, is to take the ashes from those ugly
cigaretts from the ash tray and apply to the water stain. This works too, but I prefer the
mayo. Contributed by Try2craft@webtv.net
Rug Stains – Kevin says almost any stain can be “lifted” from your carpet by using baking soda.
For old, dry stains, wet the area thoroughly first with warm water, then cover with baking soda.
Vacuum when dry. Repeat if necessary. Very stubborn stains may need to be scrubbed with a wet
sponge and baking soda. I tried this on dog vomit, and it worked!

HOMEMADE SOAP RECIPES
| Liquid/Gel Soap | Vanilla & Almond Soap | Coconut & Olive Soap |Peaches &
Cream Bath Bar | Cinnamon Soap |
| Mechanic’s Hand Cleanser | Recycle Soap Ideas |
Liquid / Gel Soap
 2 cups soap flakes or grated bar soap
 1/2 gallon water
 2 tbsp glycerin
Mix ingredients together in a large pot or dutch oven. Set over low heat, stirring occasionally
until the soap has dissolved. Transfer to a jar and cover tightly. For a less thick gel soap, use 1
gallon of water.Vanilla and Almond Soap
This soap is great for removing dirt and oil from the skin without drying. Vanilla gives it a
delicious fragrance and the ground almonds provide a beautifully textured soap. (Makes one bar.)

 1/3 cup whole almonds
 1 4-ounce bar Castile soap
 1 tablespoon almond oil
 1/8 teaspoon vanilla fragrance oil
Grind the almonds to a fine powder in a food processor or coffee grinder and set aside. Shred the
soap and set aside. In a heavy saucepan bring the water to a boil; then reduce heat to a simmer;
Remove the pan from the heat and add the almond powder, almond oil, and vanilla fragrance oil,
stirring until well blended. Spoon the soap into a mold and let set for five hours or until
hardened…
Coconut & Olive SoapThis recipe has been revised by Christin Ocasio, Owner, Wyndham
Soapworks. See her notes in sidebar.

 1 cup olive oil
 1 cup coconut oil
 1 cup melted tallow (animal fat)
 2 tbsp lye (heaping) (*NOTE)
 1/2 cup cold soft water
has been changed to:

 8 oz weight olive oil
 8 oz weight coconut oil
 8 oz weight rendered tallow
 3.49 oz weight sodium hydroxide (pure lye) Red Devil brand 100% lye (*NOTE)
 9 fluid oz water
While wearing safety goggles and neoprene gloves, combine solid lye and liquid, stir well. Set
aside and allow to cool (100° F to 125° F). This is best done outside while you are standing
upwind.Combine oils and heat gently. Once the fats and oils are melted allow the temperature to
drop to 100° F to 125° F.
Combine lye solution and melted oils. Be careful not to splash while combining the mixtures. Stir
until the mixture traces. If tracing takes more than 15 minutes, which it often does, stir for the
first 15 minutes, then stir for 5 minutes at 15 minute intervals. Tracing looks like a slightly
thickened custard, not instant pudding but a cooked custard. It will support a drop, or your stir
marks for several seconds. Once tracing occurs…
Pour raw soap into your prepared molds. After a few days the soap can be turned out of the mold.
If the soap is very soft, allow it to cure for a few days to firm the outside.
Cut soap into bars and set the bars out to cure and dry. This will allow the bar to firm and finish
saponification. Place the bars on something that will allow them to breathe.
Note: If you don’t want to mess with tallow and lye, you can substitute shavings from any white
unscented soap.

Peaches And Cream Bath BarMakes One Bar 1 4-ounce bar

 Castile soap (or pure white unscented… like ivory)
 1/4 cup powdered milk
 1 tablespoon sweet almond oil
 1/8 teaspoon peach fragrance oil
 1 drop orange food coloring {optional}
Shred the Castile soap and set aside. Heat the water in a heavy saucepan over low heat. Stir in the
shredded soap until it forms a sticky mass. Remove the pan from the heat and add the powdered
milk, Sweet almond oil, Peach fragrance oil, food coloring; stir until well-blended. Spoon the
soap into its mold and let set for four hours or until hardened.

Cinnamon Soap
 unscented glycerin soap
 10 drops cinnamon oil
 1 drop red food coloring {optional}
In a heavy saucepan, melt the glycerin soap over low heat until liquefied. Remove the pan from
the heat and stir in the cinnamon oil and coloring until well mixed. Pour the soap into a mold and
let set for three hours or until hardened. Makes One Bar 1 4-ounce bar.

Mechanic’s Hand CleanserGrind up a bar or two of your soap…

 1 c. borax
 1-2 t. pure turpentine
 1 t. sweet orange essential oil
 1 c. ground soap
With very clean hands, work the turpentine and essential oil into the borax until there are no
lumps left, then work into the soap. Keep it in a wide-mouthed jar or tin that’s easy for him to
open when his hands are greasy, and which you won’t mind getting black on the outside. Don’t
forget to put a nail brush and pumice stone out with the hand cleanser.
Recycle old soap!
Here are several ideas for re-using those little bits of leftover soap:
* Use as tailor’s chalk – mark darts and hems on washable fabric
* Make bubble bath – shave and crumble and add to bath
* Make new soap cakes – get them wet and stick them together to make a new bar!
* Make shower soap – Put slivers and pieces into the toe of some old pantyhose. Tie a knot in the
nylon just above the toe, and another at about the knee. Hang in the shower.

Grease Solvent
 2 tbsp liquid gel soap (recipe here)
 3 tbsp cornmeal
 1 tsp glycerin
Combine ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. Removes stubborn grease/oil stains
from your skin. (See also Mechanic’s Hand Cleanser.)
Jewelry Cleaner
 1 tbsp dishwashing detergent
 1 tbsp washing soda (sodium carbonate)
Combine ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Pour into a glass jar and cover tightly. Label
jar for future use and keep out of reach of children. To use, soak jewelry in the solution
for 1-10 minutes (depending on how tarnished it is). Swish intricate pieces in the solution
to get into the cracks/crevices. Use a toothbrush or a well-washed mascara brush for
hard to reach places. Rinse and dry with a soft clean cloth. Don’t soak pearls in this
solution. Rub them gently with a soft chamois cloth dampened in the solution. Do not
combine this solution with chlorine bleach – hazardous fumes will result!
Tile & Grout Cleaner
Combine ingredients in a gallon container. Cover tightly and shake or swish to mix
ingredients. Label for future use and keep out of reach of children. NOTE: Do not
combine this mixture with anything containing bleach.
To use, fill a spray bottle with the solution. Spray directly onto tile surface, then wipe with
a damp sponge or cloth. Eliminates grimy soap film.

 2 quarts water
Mix ingredients in a bucket, then slowly pour solution into the toilet bowl. Let stand for 30

stand for several hours. Use regularly to clean and disinfect.
