Homemade Soap Smells … Great!

One of my favorite memories from the Honduras mission trip was the way they did laundry.  Remember, this is a teeny tiny island, about 1 mile long by .5 miles wide, if that.  But even part of that is heavily wooded and not inhabited.

It’s very tiny.  You can’t even find it on many maps.

Being tiny and without roads or even electricity in many homes, they naturally do not have washing machines.  They use washboards in a tub with home made soap.  I remember walking by a home where a woman was washing clothes outside.  It smelled SO good!   I commented on the smell and was told it was her home made lye soap she was using.  I wish I could share the smell here, but let me tell you, it was nothing like the chemical smell of our cleaning materials here.

And then, because they don’t have dryers, either, they clothes hang out in the sun to dry.  If you’ve dried clothes outdoors, you know that sun-drenched clothing smells good, too.  I have a feeling their clothes, with the lack of income and lack of conveniences they have, are cleaner than ours here.

Now… to find a home made soap recipe…

A number of us find in drunkards that the water vessels get in to the same state as the wine bottles from the deposit of earthy matter that has no business to be put, and outlines the ‘beeswing’ or alternatively crust in the water vessels of the drunkard, in his eyesight and in the tissues of the system.
