    Default Dr. Bronner's Soap

    I bought a bottle of this yesterday. I am not quite sure why but I have always been curious about it. I know you can use it for a million things. What are some of the ways you use it?

    Body wash, shampoo, face soap, hand soap. These are the ways I have used it.

    You can use it to wash dishes, surfaces, basically whatever. http://jezebel.com/5847751/worth-it-...-soap-is-magic

    I wanna try the peppermint, but I see it burns the vagina of some users. Does it have to be diluted prior to being used as a body wash? Or should we just be mindful when washing that area?

    I found this! :

    Body Uses:

    Face: 2-3 drops on wet hands, applied to wet face


    Body: one small squirt on a wet washcloth, applied to a wet body


    Hair: ½ Tbsp. in your hand, worked into wet hair, or dilute ½ Tbsp. in ½ a cup of water and work that into wet hair


    Bath: Completely depends upon water amount, but roughly 2 Tbsp. soap in an average sized tub. (Doesn’t bubble, but still cleans)

    Shaving: Face – 10 drops; Underarms – 3 drops; Legs – ½ tsp; Work to a lather in wet hands and then apply to area.

    Teeth: 1 drop on a toothbrush. (Yes, it tastes like soap.)

    Foot Bath: 1 ½ tsp. in a small tub of hot water.

    Clearing Congestion: 1 Tbsp. in a bowl of steamy hot water. Breathe in mist with a towel draped over the head.


    Household uses:

    Dishes (handwashing): Pre-dilute 1:10 with water. Squirt on a scrub brush and scrub dishes.

    Laundry: 1/3-1/2 c. of soap for a large load in a normal washer. Add ½ c. vinegar to the rinse cycle. Use half of these amounts for HE


    Mopping: ½ c. of soap in 3 gallons of hot water

    All-purpose cleaning: ¼ c. soap in a quart of water in a spray bottle. Add ¼ tsp. tea tree essential oil if desired.


    Windows: 1 Tbsp. soap in a quart of water in a spray bottle. Follow up with pure club soda, or half vinegar/ half water.


    Toilet: Predilute 1:4 with water in a squirt bottle. Add ¼ tsp. tea tree oil. Empty toilet, squirt bowl thoroughly, sprinkle baking soda on the brush, scrub bowl, let sit 10 minutes, turn water on, flush.

    Other Uses:

    Fruit and Veggie Rinse: 1 dash (approx.. ¼ tsp.) in a bowl of water. Dunk produce and swish. Then rinse in clear water.

    Dog washing: Amount varies widely depending on size, hair type and length, and overall dirtiness. I wet my dog thoroughly, then start to work in castile soap up and down their body until I have a good lather. Really massage it in down to the skin. Your dog will thank you for it.


    Plant spray for bugs: 1 Tbsp. in a quart of water. Add ½ tsp. cayenne pepper or cinnamon, if desired.


    Ant spray (not on plants): ¼ c. tea tree soap in a quart of water. (This concentration will burn plants.)

    Thumbs up Re: Dr. Bronner's Soap

    I love this stuff! I use the liquid peppermint soap. Here is a tip: I bought a large glass foaming soap dispenser for my shower ( you can use a small plastic one if you choose), fill half liquid other half water. So, it FOAMS! The liquid Dr. Bronners is highly concentrated, but doesnt sud up as much just on a towel. The bar soap suds up more, but Im not a bar soap person and it goes faster than the liquid. TRY IT! You will enjoy your showers/baths even more!
    I love this soap. The dirt literally can be seen in your tub while you wash, not so much with other soaps. Also, in the summer the peppermint is so cooling!

    I avoid the peppermint around my vagina, but I shower with it after work or the gym and it's amazing! IT's perfect after I've been sweating and need to exfoliate.
