Cut and clear oil is used for pretty much anything. It has many different purposes, messy chores, house cleaning, so if you don’t have it in your supplies yet, maybe its time to add it in! I found the perfect way to make this cut and clear oil so lets go over how to do it!
Directions for making Cut and Clear Oil:
1. First, take your jar or whatever kind of container you wish to use. You can use any size but make sure they are all equal because you will be adding equal parts of each ingredient.
2. Add your hot water to the jar, depending on how much you need, only add as much as you think you will use at a time. This will be your base for cut and clear oil.
3. After that, add an equal part of cooking oil to the hot water that you added. Then add an equal part of dish soap.
4. Shake them all together and there you have it! Cut and clear oil!
Ingredients
- Olive Oil (120-360ml)
- Water (cold or hot)
- Liquid Soap
- Dishwashing liquid
- Tea Towel
- Jar or Bowl
To create the cut and clear oil you need a jar or bowl. Fill the jar with 120-360 ml of olive oil followed by water which you need to make sure is cold or hot (hot will dissolve soap rapidly). Add liquid soap or dishwashing liquid and mix. After the oil mixture is thoroughly mixed, you can put it in a tea towel and squeeze out the liquid. Then use this liquid and the dishwashing liquid and pour both into the oil jar. Keep repeating this process until you don’t see any suds or bubbles coming from your dishwashing liquid (4-6 times). After you reach that point, your dishwashing liquid should be at least half soap. That’s it! You have created cut and clear oil!
