Eucalyptus-Mint All-Purpose Disinfecting Soft Soap for Kitchen and Bath
Use this mild yet effective soap for dishes, floors, stoves, refrigerators, sinks, and hands. The eucalyptus and mint are disinfectants and provide a fresh scent. Any areas washed with this soap will be inhospitable to crawling insects and flies.
5 cups grated castile soap
6 cups hot peppermint tea, made with 6 tablespoons fresh peppermint or with 6 to 12 tea bags
1/2 cup baking soda
1 teaspoon borax
1 teaspoon eucalyptus essential oil
Place the soap in a 3-quart stainless steel saucepan and stir in the tea. Simmer for 15 minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally. Stir in the baking soda, borax, and eucalyptus oil. Store in a labeled plastic jug or squirt bottle. Shake before using. Use full strength for tough cleaning jobs or dilute 3 tablespoons in a quart of water for general cleaning.
