Making Unscented Dish & Laundry Blocks W/ 3 Chelators | 95% Coconut & 5% Castor Oil - Dawn Organics

Hello again everyone, today we’ll be making some unscented ecofriendly, zero waste Dish & Laundry blocks, I love these new moulds that we’re made by CeeSon soaps & cutters! They are brilliant. They last an incredibly long time and very cost effective

I dissolved the Sodium Gluconate in some distilled water and added it to the melted oils as with the sodium phytate. I dissolved the citric acid in the water before adding the lye. It must be done separate as sodium gluconate can react with citric acid, we want the reaction between the citric acid and sodium hydroxide to happen first (to create sodium citrate) in order to have 3 active chelators to really combat soap scum issues

I hope you enjoy the video, Thanks for watching and happy soaping!

They came out of those moulds perfectly, George. Good job!

[comebackarabella]

These moulds are adorable. I love them. And that giant block of soap made me feel so happy!!!😂 great video again George. Lovely to hear your voice. 😊

[belindaayewoh]

Hi George. Super cute molds. You're a true chemist!

[SoyandShea]

That mould is to cute!!! Perfect for test bars. A divider may be good if you only want to test one or two of the cavities

[delizianaturally]

The block moulds! Thanks for the recommendation George!

Hi from UK George. I have square individual silicone moulds perfect for dish and washing soap. Good size to hold and grate too.
But the foursome in wood mould looks great.

[RED-cyig]

I never thought to use square box molds. I will be looking for these.

Hi George and thanks for another video. I make a bar soap with 2% SL and .5% sea salt, staying under what you've said is a 3% max. I also include 2% citric acid with adjusted lye. For a dish and laundry soap, what's your salts maximum, and would there be any benefit to adding or substituting sodium gluconate in my bar soaps? Many thanks again!

Hi George, I must try this triple chelating action soon & I just love these moulds, that's genius! I was just wondering why do you put sodium lactate in this recipe?

[rahulgopalam]

Hi, How long did you allow them to cure before using it?

[karan]

Hi, I will try this recipe as well, great video as I add the Sodium gluconate and sodium phytate after light trace, can I add directly to the oils or do I need to dissolve them in distilled water first? Also, if my recipe calls for adding about 58 grams of water to 28 grams of sodium hydroxide for making the lye solution, do I reduce it by 20 grams here (38 grams water in lye solution) and add in the subtracted 20 grams of distilled water when adding sodium gluconate and sodium phytate so that there is no real change in the overall water content of the recipe?

[karan]

Dear George, tried your recipe. Triple chelators work exceptionally well....can clearly see the difference as I tried with just citric acid and with all 3. Still not 100% satisfied though....my water is not very hard, TDS is about 350-400 PPM which is decent yet I am continuing to get slight white film after wash. (Would say 95% improvement with the triple chelators). I did the soap zerofat....lyecalc calculated 41.40 grams of lye for my soap....since my weighing scale does not do exact numbers, I did 41 grams lye for 200 grams of base oils (Coco and castor as used in your recipe)....is it still going to be safe if I do 42 grams of lye instead of 41.40 suggested by lyecalc....will just 0.60 grams of excess lye be problematic for health? Also did 3% citric acid, 1% SG, 2% SL and around 0.5-1% Sodium phytate, any changes there that u would suggest as well??.... interestingly, the soap went from no trace to immediate medium trace as soon as I mixed the SG, SL and SP solution to the oils as suggested.

Hey, did end up making dish soap with 100% coconut oil, around 1% superfat (using 2% citric acid but after adding additional getting oily dishes after wash and slight whitish time going to try 95% CO and 5% Castor oil following your recipe at 0.5% superfat using 97% Lye going to add citric acid 3%, sugar 1%, SG 1%, Sodium phytate 0.5% and sodium lactate 2% following your recipe, any further suggestions regarding anything for avoiding greasy dishes after washing or should this work?

[TheHappyHomesteadingHerbalist]

I'm curious why you'd add castor to a dish soap?

[TheHappyHomesteadingHerbalist]

Were you completely satisfied with this recipe? Did the 2 extra chelators help?
