I started making my own dish soap as soon as I received my first set of essential oils, and haven’t looked back. It works so well, and I love that it is all-natural. Plus, you can use this dish soap recipe in multiple ways: it can be made in a spray bottle, as a foaming dispenser, or a regular soap dispenser.
Sometimes the thought of making products is daunting, but I promise this is way easier than you think. You can whip it up in less than a minute, and you probably have the ingredients on hand.
It’s easy to grab a bottle of dish soap at the grocery store, but I highly encourage you to make your own instead. Making your own dish soap can save you lots of money, cut down on toxic products in your home, and is much better for the environment.
Plus, the ingredients in this homemade dish soap recipe are clean and natural, making them safe for your family.
Even better? This DIY dish soap works! It suds up and cuts really well through grease.
After experimenting with several recipes, I settled on the one with the least amount of ingredients.
For this dish soap, you will need:

It is that simple!
I tried other recipes using washing soda and baking soda but found this one to work best.
Castile soap can come in liquid or bar form, for this recipe we will be using the liquid form. It is a very concentrated soap made out of vegetable oils. Most commonly made with olive oil, but can also be made with coconut oil, hemp oil, or avocado oil.
Castile soap is a natural disinfectant that can kill germs, bacteria, and cut grease. It works great for washing dishes, and it will leave your hands moisturized and smooth.
It comes in handy when making soaps and shampoos too!
You can use a single oil or a blend of essential oils in your dish soap recipe. I list a few of my favorite blends below, notice that lemon is in every single blend. This is because lemon essential oil is a natural degreaser and a natural antibacterial.
I tend to stick to citrus oils because of their fresh scent and cleansing properties.
Here are a few of my favorite blends:

*It is always best to use glass or stainless steel for any essential oil recipe. Over time essential oils can break down plastic and cause it to corrode.
To make this dish soap, simply pour castile soap and essential oils into your soap dispenser.
Then, fill the rest of the dispenser with water.
It is best to use distilled water or boiled tap water to preserve your dish soap longer.
If you opt to use tap water, boil it for 15 minutes and then allow it to cool before pouring it into the spray bottle or soap dispenser.
The beauty of this dish soap is it works the same as any store-bought kitchen soap. No change will be necessary to your washing routine.
Just remember that this dish soap is made from concentrated soap and potent essential oils and a little can go a long way.
If you aren’t as old fashion as me and use a dishwasher rather than handwash I have a recipe for that too! Yup, you can even make dishwasher soap pods that are natural, cost-effective, and work great.
