Are you familiar with castile soap? Have you wondered exactly what it is, or how best to use it in your home? Castile soap is a natural soap that is chemical-free and made mostly from olive and other vegetable oils, plus sodium hydroxide. Castile soap made with sodium hydroxide is a hard white soap, but liquid Castile soaps are made with potassium hydroxide. It originated in the Castile region of Spain, hence its name. It is great for many uses, including washing your body and your hair, and also cleaning around the house. Today’s post focuses on 10 ways you can use castile soap around the home. Let’s get started!
