Notes
Adapted from Mommypotamus. Note: If it's too thick, add a little more water. Different factors can affect the thickness of the soap—the water you use (filtered vs. tap) and the brand of soap flakes or grated soap. If you want a thicker version, pour the soap back into the pan and warm it up again. Add a little more washing soda.
