We are all aware how aesthetically unpleasant
our environments can be sometimes. This is
not good for man's health. The consciousness
of this fact inclined us therefore to design a
formula that kills or suspends unpleasant
smells in our cars, toilet, bathes or even
offices. This is used along with cleaning
detergent or even sprinkled on objects to give
or environment a pleasant odour.
CHEMICALS
i. SULPHONIC ACID: This is a dark brown
highly viscous liquid. It functions to
neutralize the caustic soda solution and
consequently create a room for perfume
absorption.
ii. CAUSTIC SODA: It is also called sodium
hydroxide. it exists as solid pearls. It has a
very high solubility in water, dissolving to give
basic solution. It functions to promote the
absorption of perfume by the mixture since the
perfume is of oil base.
iii. FORMALIN: This is a harsh-smelling
liquid. It is the disinfectant in the formulation.
Germs, bacteria etc. are eliminated by this
chemical. Formalin should be treated with
care as it is very harmful to the skin.
iv. COLORANT : This gives colour to the
formulation. It should be noted that just a
small amount of colorant is needed.
v. PERFUME: Perfume aromatises the mix
and confers pleasant smell on the product.
The type that appeals the manufacturer
suffices for the product.
CHEMICALS MEASUREMENT
Caustic soda pearls -------- 1 spoon
Soda Ash ---------------- 3 spoons
Sulphonic acid --------------- ½ cup
Formalin --------------------- 1 teaspoon
Water ----------------------- 4 litres
Perfume ------------------ to taste
Colorant --------------------- to taste
METHOD
Wash and drain mixer. Clean also your filter
with soap and rid it of dirt.
Measure the specified quantity of water into
the mixer and follow it with the specified
caustic soda pearls. Stir gradually to dissolve
the pearls. At this stage the solution is
expected to generate some heat. Then
measure sulphonic acid into the mixer and
increase your stirring rate.
Stir till it mixes completely with the caustic
soda solution. Now check the PH paper
correct if necessary, to ensure the acid is
neutralized. The PH must lie between 7 and 8.
Then add formalin and colorant. Stir well to
mix properly and finally add your perfume
which forms the base of this product.
Allow the solution to dissolve for 24hours then
filter the solution and package immediately
and cart for sales.

production of antiseptic soap
Antiseptic soap, sometimes called antibacterial
soap or anti-fungal soap, is regular soap in liquid
or solid form that contains some kind of
ingredient that reduces the chance of infection
when applied to the skin. These products also
have antimicrobial properties, meaning they kill
or inhibit the growth of microbes like bacteria,
virus, or fungi. Alcohol, triclosan , and
tetrasodium EDTA are three antiseptics
commonly used in soap, and they are all
examples of antibacterial antiseptics, meaning
they are proven to be effective against bacteria.
Other antiseptics have anti-viral properties, and
some are anti-fungal and can be used to treat or
prevent fungal infections like athlete's foot,
ringworm, or vaginal yeast infections. Many
antiseptics have a combination of these various
properties. Some essential oils , such as tea tree
oil, contain naturally occurring antiseptics called
terpenes that have antibacterial, anti-fungal, and
antiviral properties. These various kinds of
antiseptic ingredients are also used in soap.
Regular soap also has antiseptic properties by
itself. Pure soap is made using some kind of
animal or vegetable fat that is treated with an
alkaline solution, commonly lye . Soap cleans and
disinfects by making oils dissolve in water,
thereby removing dirt and debris as well as
various microbes present on the skin. Several
scientific studies have shown that hand-washing
using regular soap and water while scrubbing the
hands for 15 seconds removes as many bacteria
and other microorganisms as antiseptic soap
containing triclosan. These tests were done
using commonly available soaps with relatively
low levels of triclosan, so the results might not
apply to products containing more triclosan or to
soaps made with other antiseptic ingredients.
Some scientists and medical professionals are
critical of the increasing use of antiseptic soap
and the addition of antibacterial ingredients to
so many cleaning products. They believe that
this practice might lead to more strains of
bacteria becoming resistant to antibacterial
agents, eventually causing antibiotic medications
to become less effective. This could make it
more difficult to treat serious medical conditions
caused by bacteria, like staph infections and
pneumonia. For example, many microorganisms
are already resistant to triclosan, meaning that
even though it is a proven antibacterial agent, it
may not be as effective as stated by some soap
manufacturers because many strains of bacteria
are immune to it.In my next post I will show you step by step guide on the production of antiseptic soap.

step by step guide to produce transparent soap
MATERIALS NEEDED: palm kernel oil, caustic soda, water, sugar, glycerin alcohol(vodka) : PROCEDURE: Dissolve 30g of caustic soda in 45g of water and allow it to undergo the fermentation process for 2-3 days.Measure 200g of palm kernel oil(p.k.o) and heat it up to 70 degrees Celsius and ensure that the temperature is not more than 70 degrees Celsius throughout the whole process. Add the fermented caustic soda solution into the oils and allow it to undergo the saponification process by continuously stirring it with a stick blender until the saponification process is complete. Note saponification is the process of making soap. Allow it to stay on the gas cooker or stove for 4-5 minutes for it to undergo the gel stage, when its undergoing the gel stage, heat up 30g of water and 70g of sugar, mix it very well for it to completely dissolve in the warm water. Test the soap with litmus paper to see if its neautral(pH of 9-10.5 is fine) then add 40g of glycerin to the soap mass in order to make it soft, followed by the addition of the sugar solution which will make it partially transparent, then add 80g of alcohols(vodka) because vodka contains about 95% of alcohol and 5% of water which is a strong alcohol that will give a high degree of transparency,and close the pot, ensure that the cover is air tight by covering it with a towel to prevent the escape of alcohol from the pot, allow it to stay on the stove for 5minutes and add fragrance and colour of your choice if you like, then remove it from the source of heat. A clear transparent soap that forms thick lather and exceptionally mild to the skin will be formed . On my next post, i will show you step by step guide on how to produce liquid soap
how to make a transparent soap
A transparent soap is a soap that one can see through, like a glass of cup or a window glass. It is exceptionally beautiful to behold and very mild to the skin. They are clear to the eyes because of the nature of the oils used with the addition of ethanol(alcohol) and sugar. Transparent soap is very mild to the skin because of the presence of glycerin. It cleanses better than ordinary toilet soaps because of the ethanol( alcohol) used in making it, they are very beautiful due to their transparency and their colours. The sizes and colours depends on the manufacturer s. They are so attractive to the eyes because of their transparency, colour andf fragrance. On my next post, I will show you a step by step guide on how to produce a mild and clear transparent soap even right from your home. Transparent soap making is a booming business and the need for it is increasing daily.
