Liquid Hand Soap


Grate 3 bars of Ivory soap
Place soap into pan ( need large pan as it has to hold 36 cups water on the stove)
Add 12 C. Water
Heat on high until soap is melted ( this only took about 20 minutes ), stirring with a whisk,  make sure everything is combined you don't want any chunks.
When all the soap pieces turn to liquid turn off the heat and let cool overnight.
It will look like sudsy water at this point, but will thicken by morning.

Add remaining 24 Cups of water and reheat soap, whisk to incorporate all the water, once this is done let the soap cool
. (After packaging, let set up 2 weeks) 

 Well..it has been quite awhile now and if it was gonna thicken any more than it has, it would have done so by now..I t seems to work ok, other than it is still a bit more liquidy than i would like. Won't be tryin this one again, but I had to ive it a try..
This is the first cooling..
