Directions from Packaging

Dilute this liquid soap! Dilute more if you are using it on your body or face, but less if you are using it on dishes or elsewhere in the house. Experiment to see what works best. Use this concentrate to refill our Foaming Liquid Soap bottles. See Foaming bottles for instructions. Soap may become cloudy at low temperatures. Due to the nature of organic ingredients there may be some variation in color or clarity from batch to batch. "Free fatty acids" (also known as unsaponified oils) are part of what gives our soaps their moisturizing properties. Some of these free fatty acids may settle to the bottom of the bottle over time. If settling occurs, shake bottle. Recipes: Floor Cleaner 1/8 cup Ballard Organics All-Purpose Concentrated Liquid Soap, 1/4 to 1/2 cup white distilled vinegar or lemon juice, 1 gallon hot water.
