Ingredients

• 1 bar soap (200g) - see how to make your own bar soap
• 100 g of sodium bicarbonate
• 2 liters of water
• 2 tablespoons of sugar
• 4 tablespoons of white alcohol vinegar

Method of preparation

• Grate the bar soap of your choice (if possible, use a homemade or natural soap, such as coconut soap);
• In a large pot, bring the water to the fire;
• Add the grated soap before the water starts to boil;
• Stir until the soap dissolves;
• When the mixture is boiling and the soap has dissolved well, remove the pan from the heat for a moment and add the baking soda - the mixture tends to rise a little and make a lot of foam, so add the baking gradually and slowly;
• Mix well and return the pan to the heat, this time low (to prevent it from overflowing), for another two minutes;
• Shake well;
• Turn off the heat, add the sugar and vinegar and stir until everything is mixed;
• Wait for it to warm and store in small jars;
• Use after 24 hours, when the baking soda mousse paste has hardened.

This recipe yields about 1.5 kg of baking soda mousse paste, so the ideal is to reserve about six small pots to store the paste. Use a large pot to prevent the mixture from leaking out as the baking soda foams and tends to rise.

When storing the baking soda paste in the pots, if the mixture is foamy, remove a little excess with a bowl or slotted spoon. Foam can also be used for cleaning, but it is not very good for storage (as it softens the mousse paste).

The mixture turns into a firm paste very effective for heavy cleaning. It can be used to clean surfaces, remove slime stains, clean the shower stall and grout in the bathroom and even for washing dishes - just be careful with aluminum pans. Baking soda reacts with aluminum and can cause your pots and pans to start to fade or stain. It is necessary to use the product in the correct way to avoid unwanted reactions.
