dr bronners recipes

[BarbieAnn79]

we used the tea tree oil version of dr. broners when one of my kids picked up lice at preschool.
We got her hair really wet in the tub- apply a good amount of the soap and created a thick lather that penetrated her scalp very well- then we put press- and- seal wrap on her head and let her play in the teub for 20 min so the soap could just "sit" in her hair... then a thourogh rince -- the soap killed any live on to buy insecticideal shampoo (toxic stuff!) we treated her on a friday and she was ready to return to school on monday.
I also use dr. bronner in the diaper loads too... I have used it as a carpet spot cleaner as well.

Dr B liquid plus baking soda is my favorite "soft scrub" cleanser. Works great on a bathtub ring or really dirty hands.

I know it's just because I was used to whatever conditioners leave behind in your hair to make it feel silky, but I could not stand Dr. B as shampoo when I tried it on my ultra fine hair. It felt to me like how skin feels after a soap leaves its residue- you know that not smooth feeling? And then it was so limp when it dried. I really wonder if I wasn't getting it all out?
Anyway, it made my skin feel dry too, but I was using it undiluted.
I love it for around the house, just not on my body. Anywhere gunk builds up, Dr. Bronners is the stuff to scrub it away!

Bumping. I just bought some Dr Bronners liquid soap and sal-suds. Tell me how else to use it. What ratio of Dr B's to water in the foamer?

bumping.. I just bought some of the smaller bottles of lavender, tea tree and orange. I found the tiny trial size at Target the other day and have been using it as hair/body wash and really like it.

So, anyone else got tips on how they use theirs?

I am going to start using it for wipey solution. 1tsp with 2qt of water or so and a couple drops of TTO.

I use it for LOTS of things!

*Wash hair (just a drop)
*Wash face (put it with a tad of baking soda, such a great feeling afterward)
*Couple of squirts in my kids' bathwater, no other soap needed
*Wash diapers
*Mop floors
*Disinfectant with vinegar, water, and TTO (I use this disinfectant on everything in the house and also to kill ants, freshen carpets and furniture, and probably more stuff.)
