I’m on a quest to find out what store bought cleaners & hygiene products I can make on my own! Cheaper! No chemicals! Yay! Over the past few months, I have experimented and tried lots of different things. Some I can share with you. Some I will not. LOL!
The ways I’m sharing to use Dr. Bronner’s 
The most affordable way to use castille soap is to buy the BAR SOAP
- Body wash ~ we’ve all been using this and only this for months now!
- Face wash ~ we’ve also been using this for a long time and love it!
- Shampoo ~ my hair is finicky. Or picky. I don’t use this on my hair, though I tried! But my husband and son do.
- Hand soap in the pump by the sink.
- Pet wash.
- Laundry soap.
- Dish soap. This does not get as sudsy as Dawn, so if you prefer lots of suds, you may not like this for dish soap. 🙂
- Household all-purpose cleaner. You can dilute with 1/2 water, 1/2 soap. You can add baking soda to cut even more grime.
- Fruit & veggie wash ~ put just a few drops of castille soap in a bowl of water to give your produce a rinse!
- Shaving ~ Since I use this as body wash, I also use it for shaving, as does my hubby if he’s shaving in the shower!
Lastly, some of you may be wondering WHY I enjoy using Dr. Bronner’s soap…there are a few reasons. The biggest reasons: no sodium lauryl sulfate, it is organic and fair trade. So, it’s a healthier option for cleaning our bodies as well as our home. And, with this soap, a little goes a long way! You can often dilute the liquid soap and just use a few drops mixed with water. By the way, you can also use other brands of castille soap in the same way! Dr. Bronner’s is fair trade, as far as I can tell, that is the only difference.
If you use Dr. Bronner’s in your home, I would LOVE to hear how you use it! Looking for new uses now that I can make it for even cheaper! 🙂 I have read about people using it as a cleaner…anyone tried it??
More frugal ideas I’ve tried:
- Coconut Oil Lotion {in a few minutes}
- Lip balm
- Laundry Detergent (this recipe is from several years ago, when I have to make it again, I plan to try Bronner’s in my laundry soap, too! ETA: we are also trying soap nuts and they are working great, too!)
- Dishwasher Detergent

This reminded me that I wanted to try and make some liquid hand soap! Thank you – we seem to go through it like crazy here and it’s so expensive!
I have used this soap for awhile, I fell in love with the peppermint and my family uses it to wash our bodies. I do like your idea on how to make it last longer and will be using that. I use the Almond liquid only 1/4 cup a month in my household homemade disinfecting spray. I love it because my son has asthma and homemade cleaning products are all I use! Great post thanks for the great tips! I had no idea I could by this one Amazon!
Love this!! My next thing to make at home is hand soap and will definitely try this. I like to add a few drops of thieves essential oil to my soap product for extra germ fighting.
I had not even thought to add essential oils to my soaps!! Thanks for the idea! 🙂 We are trying out several different oils right now and I love that idea!!
