- Next the day(12-24 hours) make sure it's gelled to your liking.Now you've got to break up the gel or use your mixer to break it up(So much easier) into a really thick liquid.At this point you can either leave it in the bucket or place it into old washing liquid containers.I try to do half water and half washing liquid when I put it in containers.If left in the bucket you should use 1/4 cup of the detergent.If in containers along with added water I use maybe a 1/2 cup(Depending on what I'm washing).
- Note:There maybe little chucks of soap on top after gel,but you can either store them into an air tight container for later use(cleaning) or break those pieces up..
