    Default Homemade Dishwashing Soap using Lye Soap?

    make it out of used grease, like in the old days. use french fry grease soap works but smells, well, like used french fry grease.
    I think the cost of the lye and labor would be more than the cost of a bottle of sodium lauryl sulfate detergent, no savings at all, frankly.
