I wonder if I could use the products you listed to make a thick liquid solution that could be kept in a pump/squirt bottle for use on dishes...we don't have a dishwasher. I'll have to play around and see what I can come up with.<br /><br />My original intention was to incorporate mallow or flax in with the soapwort in order to make a thicker solution that could be used for washing dishes or hair. Unfortunately, I need to add vinegar when making large batches to help keep the whole concoction from going bad on me (mold). The vinegar seems to break down the mallow and flax goo thus not allowing for any decent thickening to take place.Mr. H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04576034751522467377noreply@blogger.com
