and 100% cruelty-free, I might add! Today a really easy recipe for those who love the do-it-yourself. I have had an eye on recently and I have yet to try it but it looks very interesting and accessible to all. The original article written by Roberto Zambon is published GreenMe .. very nice site obviously dedicated to the "Green" in general, and where, among other things, also has a number of veg recipes Cooking!
create a product for the home with his own hands, as we have already had occasion to see in our guide detergents do-it-yourself is rewarding, useful and economical. Not only that: it can become sustainable in environmental terms, if you know the ingredients. In the case of dishwashing liquid - Hand or in the dishwasher - just a few lemons, a glass of vinegar, salt to e.. the secret of every recipe, a little 'patience!
Here is an alternative to the classic mix of chemicals available on the market. First get yourself a blender , or better yet, a good electric blender. There will then be a pot a dispenser, a knife, a colander , a ladle and of course a container for your soap. It is better to use an old The drum 1 , both for the convenience of the nozzle, and because it is the right amount of liquid (do not expect to produce industrial doses!).
Here's the shopping list to make about 0.5 L of 100% eco-friendly detergent (so you have to make one liter double doses):
You have everything? Well, first, boil lemons in pot as were the potatoes, until become the kind of soft balls (the rule also applies for lemons: pierce with a fork to test the consistency, if the teeth sink easily, it's time to put out the fire). In the Internet there are many recipes with the word "whip lemons cold." Experience will teach you that it is better to boil them first - seeing is believing.
- 8 lemons (organic do not cheat!)
- 800 ml of water;
- 300 grams salt 200 ml vinegar

Remove the seeds, use of technology at your disposal to reduce everything to a fine pulp. The kitchen at this point will be pretty messed up, but be aware that the goal is near.
Now verify the consistency of whipped : If you have boiled for a good and / or if your frullatutto was in perfect shape, well jump filtering. No doubt you'll juice a dense and uniform. But if you think you can, use a mesh strainer not too dense. Pour the pulp in 800 ml of water, and add 200 ml of vinegar and 300 grams of salt.
Boil the whole, but not distract too much (the danger is that the content mountains to flooding, turn off the heat and whatnot).

Mix the detergent with a quasi- wooden spoon, until there seems to have got the right consistency (Note: your detergent will pass through a thin nozzle, so right consistency = nor too liquid, nor too thick ). At this point you should have in the pot about 500 ml of 100% green excellent detergent and equally self percent.
Once cooled, the stem travasatelo e.. Well, you might as well drink it, if you like! Easy! You just have to find the nearest nursery and buy a lemon tree! What you waiting for?!
