Soap Berry Liquid Detergent Recipe
Soap berry can be used in many forms and converting it to liquid form will make it easier to use as multipurpose household cleanser!
We are going to share a few methods below and may add a few as we go along.
As soap berries are natural fruits with no preservatives, the liquid detergent will ferment over time and 'expired' liquid will smell nasty.
Liquid detergent can be stored for 1-2 weeks at room temperature and up to a month in the refrigerator. For even longer storage, you can freeze them into ice cubes and use it whenever necessary.
