Tell me about Dr.Bronners soap - Page 2

[I-Love-Alaska]

Thanks for this info- I was JUST going to post a question about Dr. Bonners. They sell it at my NFS and I have been looking for a all-purpose cleaner!!

I just made the switch - I bought a bar to try (it was cheaper), but will by a large bottle next time - I love it!

moonmama22 -- did you use the bar for household stuff, or for shampooing/showering? I never thought of using the bar for cleaning, but why not??

I just bought 2 - 32oz bottles of this stuff.

I was told about it from a gal at my church, whom is just as frugal as I am. I couldn't believe the price for the size and putting the diluting into play. I got the unscented baby mild and the almond one.

My dh is completely ok wit this switch. We did have homemade shampoo's soaps and conditioners but at $9 per 8oz..got to be A BIT MUCH! So we had to make a smarter, healthier, more economical change...and this was it.

I have only used it ONCE and that was to try it out on my hands. I didn't dilute it and could tell it would dry if it wasn't in a diluted version.

I got this stuff last week and will be using it once I purchase the pumps for my rooms to dilute it and put it to use

I used it for showering, but I never thought about using it for household purposes. I'll try that when I get the liqued. How much should I dilute it to use for showering and/or household cleaning?

From all that I've read the consensus is it's a great soup, but can be a bit drying at full strength for some. I'm look forward to trying the new line of hand and body soups which are supposed to be less drying. You should check out website for the product, there is a lot of good information on there.

How do you access the Frontier Coop metioned a few times in this thread?

You must have at least 50 posts to access the trading post Coop forum. I took the advice and did that. A 32oz bottle from frontier is $8.69, wow!
