How to Work Its Magic

Below are suggested uses and dilution concentrations for ACURE Castile Soaps. When using castile soaps for personal care and household uses, you really can’t go wrong in choosing the dilution concentration. Personal preference and a little experimenting will determine the perfect dilution solution for you!

Personal Care

Teeth: 1 drop on a toothbrush.

Breath Freshener: 
One or two drops in a spray bottle containing 50-125ml (1.7-4.2 fl oz) of distilled water helps to keep the breath fresh and prevent unhealthy bacteria from thriving in the gums and between the teeth. Peppermint is a great choice!

Mouthwash: Add 1 drop to a shot glass of water, swish and rinse.

Deodorant:
Add 1-2ml (0.05 fl oz) to a spray bottle of water (125ml/4.2 fl oz) along with a teaspoon of Himalayan crystal salt for best results.

Clearing Congestion: 1 Tbsp. in a bowl of steamy hot water. Breathe in mist with a towel draped over the head.

Hot Towel Massage:
For facial packs, scalp and soothing body rub, add a dash of liquid castile soap on a bath towel in sink of hot water. Wring the towel out and place it over the face & scalp. Massage with your fingertips. Repeat on each area of the body until the arms, legs & entire body have been massaged (using light strokes towards the heart.) Rinse the towel in plain hot water and massage again. Breathe deeply. Use your favorite essential oil for a customized aroma!

Foot Bath: 1 ½ tsp. in a small tub of hot water.

Household

Dishwashing Liquid: Make a dishwashing soap or a liquid hand soap by simply mixing a 1:1 ratio of castile to water. Put mixture in a pump dispenser or squirt directly on a scrub brush and scrub dishes.

Overnight Dish Cleaning Soak: For hard water stains, stuck on grease and food off the bottom of pots, pans, glassware, and baking dishes. Squirt enough straight out of the bottle to cover the bottom of the pot or pan and let it sit overnight!

Laundry: 1/3-1/2 c. of soap for a large load in a normal washer. Add ½ c. vinegar to the rinse cycle. Use half of these amounts for HE

All-Purpose Cleaning: Great for a spray bottle or made in a larger batch to mop tile floors. Add 1 c White Vinegar and 1/3 c Castile Soap to a 1/2 gallon of water **For deeper cleaning apply baking soda to the area first then scrub with cleaner (excellent for grout/tubs/sinks)**

Windows: 1 Tbsp. soap in a quart of water in a spray bottle. Follow up with pure club soda, or half vinegar/ half water.

Toilet: Pre-dilute 1:4 with water in a squirt bottle. Add ¼ tsp. tea tree oil. Empty toilet, squirt bowl thoroughly, sprinkle baking soda on the brush, scrub bowl, let sit 10 minutes, turn water on, flush.

Carpet Cleaner: Make an effective carpet cleaner by mixing 1/4 cup castile into 1 cup water. Place the solution in the blender and let it fly until it forms a stiff foam. Apply as you would any other carpet cleaning product.



Lifestyle

Fruit and Veggie Rinse: ¼ tsp. in a bowl of water. Dunk produce and swish. Then rinse in clear water or add 1 tablespoon castile soap to 2 cups of water, and keep the mixture in a spray bottle (125ml) near the kitchen sink.



Dog Washing: Amount varies widely depending on size, hair type and length, and overall dirtiness. Wet animal thoroughly, then work in castile soap up and down their body until lather forms and massage down to skin

Plant Spray for Bugs: 1 Tbsp. in a quart of water. Add ½ tsp. cayenne pepper or cinnamon, if desired. 6 tablespoons per gallon (23ml per litre) for using as a bug spray.
