How to Make Liquid Detergent

Manny,

dishwashing detergentLiquid detergents are used to clean our kitchen utensils and our dinning utensils like fork,dishes, spoon, knives, pots and pans. Pinoy entrepreneurs who wish to make their own liquid detergents can use the instructions below. The materials and chemicals needed to start making your own liquid detergents can be bought to chemical stores.

For the main ingredients you need to buy the following chemicals listed on the first column. The measurement used is for one kilo liquid detergent on the second column but you can use the percentage calculation if you wish to make more than one kilo on the third column.

Utensils:

•teaspoon
•beaker
•graduated cylinder
•stainless steel container and electric mixer
•stirrer
•mixing bowl or small pail
•flask
•weighing scale

Ingredients:

Qty (grams) ( % )Percent To Total Weight
SLES (Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate) 80-130 8-13
CDEA ( COCO DIETHANOL) 50 5
Sodium Triphosphate(STPP) 30 3
Table Salt or Sodium Chloride 5-10 0.5-1
Lemon Fragrance 5-8 0.5-0.8
Water 772-830 77.2-83
Total 1000 grams 100%

How to Make Liquid Detergent:

1. Using a graduated cylinder on a weighing scale, measure 80-130g SLES. Measure also 772-830g water.

2. Transfer the SLES to a beaker and add a little water. Stir the SLES very well.

3. Add 50g CDEA to the SLES. Mix well with a stirrer.

4. Continue stirring the mixture until it becomes creamy. Add water once in a while to prevent the mixture from foaming while stirring.

5. Meanwhile, dissolve 30g of STPP in a little amount of water. Mix well and set aside.

6. If the CDEA-SLES mixture is already creamy, transfer it to a small pail or a stainless steel container. Add a little amount of water while stirring continuously.

7. Transfer the mixture to the mixer then switch on. When the mixture is already foamy, add the dissolved STPP slowly while mixing continuously.

8. Dissolve the salt in a little amount of water. Add this ti the mixture, which is being mixed continuously.

9. Next, add 5-8ml lemon drops as fragrance.

10. Continue mixing until the mixture thickens. Set aside.

11. Once thickened, pour the mixture into a clean container and set aside for about 2 hours.

12. When there are no more suds, pour the liquid detergent into clean bottles.

13. The liquid detergent can be used after 24 hours.

    Sir/Mam:

    May I request a copy of the anti-bacterial certification of our products like the MOM Cares liquid dishwashing and liquid hand soap from your company. This is in regard to my business proposal with the company where I am currently employed which is situated in Clarkfield, Pampanga. I am in the process of introducing some of the products we carry in MOM Cares. Hopefully, I’ll be able to engage a good business with the company where i work now. As of the moment, our Purchasing Department is requiring me to furnish them a copy of the certification for the purpose it may serve them.

    Hoping a favorable reply from your good office.

    1. I think you need to attend a training but as of now I don’t have any info regarding the training. There is a Operating a Retail Store Business seminar given by TRC but it was last seen on December 2007.

  23. HOW CAN I REALLY MAKE PROFIT FOR SOAP MAKING. AND HOW CAN I CONVINENTLY GET THE RAW MATERIALS

  24. @makotosing

    base sa mga naging karanasan ko nung nag uumpisa pa lang ako, kaya cloudy ang mixture dahil hindi gaano na dissolve ang mga solid ingredients tulad ng industrial salt…kailangan na-mix nang mabuti ang iyong ginawa.

    pwede ding reason ang quality ng ginamit mong raw materials

  25. Hi, I’ve notice that the unit measurement that you use is in grams for all raw materials including water. But your procedure tells us to use graduated cylinder which we all know the physical state to be measured are or should be in liquid form which is in ml. My question, How do you convert grams into ml? SLES is light yellow liquid, do you mean to say we have to weight 80-130 gms of SLES using graduated cylinder? how?
    Just making clarification.

    1. @Rovin
      Sorry for the confusion. I corrected the post just today. The graduated cylinder is used for holding the SLES, not for measurement.

  26. the end product was cloudy…
    where did i go wrong?
    i want the liquid to be crystal clear

  27. as you know I ‘m from country far from you if Im not getting any adea about price of the matterals to do colculation I can’t visit you I need to know if you export that matterails I can make money of it before traveling to you there from Iraq to do trainee
