Make your own simple liquid hand soap for cheap

Here is a simple way to make liquid hand soap from a bar of Dial soap

1) Take bar of soap and cheese grater.  Grate soap into small "flakes"

2) Add about 4-5 quarts of water to a large pot

3) Bring water to a boil

4) Turn off the heat and slowly drop in flakes while stirring

5) Continue to stir and drop in flakes until all the flakes are gone

6) Let cool for 30 minutes

7) Stir vigorously...it is going to start thickening

8) Let set for a few hours, stir, sit for a few more hours, stir, etc. until uniformly cool

9) It will continue to thicken over a day......

That's it.  You should be able to pour it into a hand soap dispenser and enjoy!

The reason I said 4-5 quarts is that I originally used too little water (2 quarts) and then 

added another 5 quarts (too much)...I boiled off some of the water until I think it was about

4 -5 quarts and the viscosity was just about right.
