Step By Step Approach to Producing the Liquid Soap
The multipurpose liquid soap production takes about three day to produce.
Step 1: you will soak the C.M.C, that is the thickening agent of the formulation for three days. On the third day, you will add your foaming agent and the S.T.P.P while you keep stirring. Add the colouring and continue to stir to perfection then, add the perfume. It’s a very simple technique as compared to other productions.
NOTE: Nothing serious takes place on the 2nd day apart from mere stirring of the formulation but the production proper takes place on the third day and the final day of production.
Measuring the Ingredients
When you get to the market to buy to ingredients, they are measured in different sizes and quantities. You will just have to tell them the quantity you need; for example, in getting the C.MC. you can just tell then that you need about one kilogram to be soaked inside a twenty litres basin of water. For the S.T.P.P. and caustic soda, you will need to mix them in the water with a litre of colouring also mixed in the water. The foaming agent is already present in the bottle, so you add a little of it with perfume and stir.

i. 50cl i.e. which is the half litre pickageing
ii. One litre size packing and
iii. The four litre keg which is the biggest.
