How To Turn Bacon Grease Into Soap (Really!)
Today’s feature is from Little House In The Suburbs with a tutorial for Making Soap from Kitchen Grease:
If you’re saying to yourself, “Ivory, I don’t wanna to BUY fat to make my soap. I have plenty of fat in my grease can!” then this is the post for you.
So, how do we turn icky, blech-y, Mr. Ivory-should-be-ashamed-of-how-much-bacon-he-eats kitchen grease into glorious, bubbly, clean soap?
What you need: bacon grease, water, lye, fragrance (if you wish) and a blender. Use old milk cartons, pringles chip tubes as molds and let the soap cure for a few weeks (bacon smell will vanish). There’s also a tutorial on the site for making soap out of shortening (Crisco).
If you grate these bars down for your Homemade Laundry Detergent and Homemade Liquid Hand Soap–you’ll save even more cashola! Isn’t bacon just wonderful? Swoon! Please visit the site for all the details.
