Pls assist me how to produce laundry bar soap

Question

what kind of material to be use and how many percentage of oil to be use and mix other sence formula for laundry bar soap

Answer 1

aundry detergent, or washing powder, is a substance which is a type of detergent that is added when one is washing laundry to help get the laundry cleaner. Before our current chemical-filled laundry detergent, soap nuts, a natural fruit of trees in India & Nepal, was used as a laundry detergent. With a new emphasis on green, eco-friendly products, these soap nuts are becoming popular worldwide as a laundry detergent & all purpose cleaner. Laundry detergent has traditionally been a powdered or granular solid, but the use of liquid laundry detergents has gradually increased over the years, and the popularity of liquid detergent now rivals that of solid detergent. Some brands also manufacture laundry soap in tablets and dissolvable packets, so as to eliminate the need to measure soap for each load of laundry. In some countries where washing clothes by hand is more popular, detergent bars are more popular. Recently, environmentally friendly detergents have enjoyed a surge in popularity.

Procedure on making the Laundry Bar Soap

   1. Measure or weigh carefully the required quantity of coco oil.

   2. Weigh the lye or caustic soda solution required (5 kg) and add slowly to the oil, stirring continuously for about 30-45 minutes until it attains the condensed milk-like consistency.

   3. Add the measured amounts of dissolved additives and CDEA (foam booster) with continuous stirring from 5-10 minutes more. Then add the essential oil with stirring. Stop stirring when the mixture attains a viscosity similar to condensed milk.

   4. Pour the homogenous viscous soap mixture into the moulder, allow to set at room temperature for 12 hours or until soap solidifies.

   5. Cut the soap into bars of suitable sizes with a string or wire attached to the wooden/metal cutter. Twenty-eight (28) bars will be produced. The soap is white or creamy white. Cut bar into 4 pieces and pack in a plastic bag.

   6. Allow to age from 7 to 10 days to complete the saponification reaction.
