Do It All With Dr. Bonner's Magic (Castile) Soaps - EVEN BRUSH BILLY BOB TEETH!


We've been using Dr. Bonner soaps for years. The more I researched into the tooth soaps and their ingredients it got me thinking. We can do this for cheaper and potentially better. Dr. Bonner's Magic Soaps, which by the way I don't sell or make any money on... just a very proud user of, does it best.

They say it be right on their website. Take a look at this: Although the label claims eighteen uses, we do not have the space to write all these uses on the label and still accommodate for my grandfather’s philosophy, as well as the new labeling laws that are periodically implemented. In reality, there are far more than eighteen uses, as people constantly write in to tell us about yet another utility of the soap. We won’t detail them all, but below are some of the major uses and dilutions.

Here's several regular uses of Dr. Bonner's Magic Soap. I've been using it for my shower soap for years and I will be using this for brushing my teeth starting today!

1. For Everyday Body-Washing: Get wet and pour soap full-strength onto hands-washcloth-loofah. Lather up, scrub down, rinse off, and tingle fresh and clean.

2. For Other Uses, dilute from one part soap into 40 parts water for light cleaning, to cutting it in half or using it full strength for heavy-duty grease-cutting jobs.

3. For Shampoo, people have been telling us for years that they like using our soaps to shampoo their hair. Now, paired with our new Citrus Conditioning Rinse and Organic Leave-In Conditioning Crème, it works better than ever. For details, click here.

4. For The Laundry, use 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup for one regular load; adjust as needed depending on hardness of water. I've been told that adding a dash of baking soda makes it even better.
For pets, lather up well and apply to their body. Be careful to keep the soap and the lather away from their eyes. I find a mixture of peppermint and eucalyptus works best.

5. FOR TOOTH BRUSHING, apply a drop or two of Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soap (I prefer the peppermint) to a wet toothbrush. Brush as you normally would, rinsing accordingly. Be careful about using more than a couple drops of soap, as you might start foaming at the mouth (last time I checked "rabid chic" was not cool). Many people with sensitive or softer teeth like to use our soap as toothpaste because it lacks abrasives.

Can't help ya if you look like this though!




If you're very interested in specific ratios & uses, you could find the book "Clean House, Clean Planet" by Karen Logan and published in 1996 by Pocket Books division of Simon & Schuster. She presents hundreds of great ideas and manners to clean the non-toxic way, which gives rise for many examples that use an all-natural liquid soap like Dr. Bronner's.
