People then put all the grease, fat and even the bones of the poor creature into a cauldron, mixed it with sodium hydroxide and any natural essence, stirred it while the mixture was boiling until the content became a semi-fluid liquid. Then, they poured it into a cast and cut into the desired size when solid.

Bleac...Hi Hana, here are my mothers' recipes. <br /><br />Bleach: <br />Let boil some clean (no carbon) wood ash in a pot of water for two hours. Then, let it rest for a couple of days, until the residual of the ash deposits at the bottom of the pot. Use the water, which absorbed the bleach properties of the ash, which strengthen the whitening action of your detergent. There are several ways of doing that: <br />a. filtering the water in the pot multiple times and mix it with the detergent for hand or machine washing, or b. pour the ash mixture on the pre-washed clothes in a tub. Using the second option you need to cover the laundry with a cloth acting as a filter, pour the home-made bleach, which will whiten the laundry and will be disposed via the hole of the tub. In that case you don't even need to wait for the solution to settle down for 2 days and can use it directly. CinziaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
