Use: Fill a foaming soap dispenser for everyday use.
3. Body Wash
Dilution Ratio: 1:2 (1 part soap to 2 parts water)
Use: Apply directly to a washcloth or loofah.
4. Shampoo
Dilution Ratio: 1:3 (1 part soap to 3 parts water)
Use: Gently cleans hair, though it may require a vinegar rinse for balance.
5. Dish Soap
Dilution Ratio: 1:4 (1 part soap to 4 parts water)
Use: Effective for handwashing dishes.
6. Laundry Detergent

Tips for Use:
Hard Water: If you have hard water, Castile soap may leave residue. Add a little vinegar to the rinse water to counteract this.
Storage: Always mix only as much as you need, as diluted soap can spoil over time without preservatives.
Adjust these ratios based on your personal preference and specific cleaning needs!
