-
Dissolve the Soda Crystals: Pour the boiling water into a mixing bowl. Add the soda crystals and stir until they are completely dissolved. This step is crucial for creating a powerful cleaning solution.

Incorporate Castile Soap: Pour in the liquid castile soap and stir gently to combine. Avoid creating excessive bubbles at this stage.
