I'm not a fan of Castile soap. Dr Bronners has lots of different oils that make up it's ingredients (6 or 7 if I remember correctly). My mother-in-law loves it and uses it without dilution, but unfortunately her shower gets blocked every few months and I have to rod it. We have hard water and I think it's reacting with the soap and leaving a residue of solidified oil down the pipe that's building up over time... it's a real pain. I'm hoping she'll heed my advice start diluting it significantly, as she's reluctant to give it up completely. Personally I can't recommend this brand or any other heavily oil based soap if you live in a hard water area.

​@@FieldOfFocus I know you are probably already overwhelmed with all the suggestions you get, I have been experimenting with another natural cleaner and would love to see your tests on it. It is a homemade natural cleaner made with soap nuts. This is the recipe: 2 liters of water, 25-30 soap nuts boil down to 1 liter. If there are seeds inside, deseed them. Them squish the pulp to extract saponins. Strain. This can be used as an all purpose cleaner, hand wash, dish soap, body wash, floor cleaner, or can be used to do laundry. --dishsoap and hand wash: It can be used at full strength to wash the dishes or as hand wash. I would love to see its effectiveness, if it really does work well as good hand wash to remove bacteria. - all purpose cleaner: 25% soapberry extract and 75% water vs. full strength , I would be interested to see how it works on all the surfaces you normally do your testings on - for floor cleaner: 1,5 cups of soapnut water, 1 cup of vinegar, 1 big heaped teaspoon of pink Himalayan sea salt, 8 drops of tea tree essential oil, 8 drops of lavender oil. Mix together and dilute with water before using to clean the floor. 50-100 ml of the liquid for one bucket of water. - laundry: people seem to like using it as a natural laundry solution, there are two ways of using soap nuts for this purpose: one is to use 150-200 ml of Soapnut liquid (n the place provided for detergents) for about 6 kg of laundry. Another way is to take about 10-12 whole Soapnuts (can be deseeded or with seeds; this measurement is for 6-8 kgs of clothes) and put them in an old sock and tie the mouth of the socks tightly such that no soapnuts can escape. Then we throw in this sock along with the wash load (with the clothes, not in the place provided for detergents) and run the machine like we normally would . This maybe extremely time consuming, I just couldn’t stop myself from wondering about this after watching all of your videos and learning so much. Maybe that would also be interesting to you to see if homemade natural cleaners are any good at removing bacteria. Thank you again, your channel is one of my best finds on KZread.

Most likely, germ load is simply multiple times greater on base vs sink/counter. You can see where the B/A there is a decent reduction, but its just what happens when you use a cleaner vs a disinfectant.

the importance of adding essential oils is how and what you are cleaning. if you are cleaning and want more antimicrobial and anti bacterial clean you would want to add peppermint/ green tea essential oils and yuzu/ citrus oils... if you want to do something like laundry you would want to mix your essential oils with a floral essential oils... dr. bronners is best when mixed with essential oils but you need to learn how to use them... cause if you have hard water you should be using an apple cider vinegar mix with baking soda to rinse soap down afterwards.

Hi there! I think Dr Bronner's is a great body wash! I wouldn't worry about using it!! If your skin feels good then I would keep using it!

Lol, all soaps need some bleach mixed in

Bleach is not ok for all surfaces.. so some surfaces just need cleaners, some sanitizers, and some disinfectants! Thanks for watching!

That's a surprising thing to say about it being unscented in hazardous because it's casso which means you can use it on your body in your mouth like literally anywhere it's actually on the bottle itself like it there's a lot on that bottom. I know people that use it to literally brush their teeth I personally don't like the taste I like putting it in my washer when I wash my linen sheets the lavender one is my favorite. I also like to mix it with my bleach because bleach smell could be overwhelming but yeah.

Hello! I don't think I said it was hazardous, but just a caution about all unscented cleaners. I agree that Dr Bronner's is a diverse cleaner and it is one of my favorites.

Dr Bronners is a soap not a disinfectant….that would be the Sal Suds

That is correct. This was a Viewer Suggestion, where BV asked me to test Dr Bronners with my bacterial testing.

Why would you test it as a disinfectant? It's not a disinfectant, it's soap.

This video was a viewer request. The viewer requested that I test Dr Bronner's to see how well it does remove bacteria despite it having no claims. I have a few videos like this where a viewer is curious in a product that does not have any claims to remove bacteria.

Soap is literally supposed to remove bacteria, that's why we use it to wash our hands...

I'm a new sub, and only watched a few of your vids. My suggestion is that you might want to keep a running tally of your results with active ingredients broken out. Dr. Bronner's which I use for various things is really a Castille soap, with primarily: Organic Coconut Oil*, Organic Palm Oil*, Sodium Hydroxide**, Water, Organic Olive Oil*, Organic Hemp Oil, Organic Jojoba Oil, Sea Salt, Citric Acid, Tocopherol So old-school saponified soap with a little salt and citric acid and Lye. I know you had some good results with essential oils, however I am thinking in this case that would not be helpful here as the oils have been saponified. Would like to see you retest with the Tea Tree oil, however if you've already tested it which I think you did, I don't know if the dwell time is long enough to add anything spectacular. Its a great cleaner, just not much different than any basic soap. Just found the below site which can help find product ingredients. incidecoder.com/products/dr-bronners-pure-castile-bar-soap

I really should create some sort of spreadsheet with this info plus results, thank you for that site... Your old school suggestion is a good one too, I put it on my list! I will add some more Tea Tree oil testing, I know a lot of people add it to cleaning products and swear by it. :)
