Zest of 1 lemon: For added fragrance and texture.

Instructions :
Gather Your Materials: Before you start, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools on hand. You’ll need a mixing bowl, a whisk, and a container for storing your soap.
Mix the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the liquid castile soap and distilled water. Whisk them together gently to avoid creating too many bubbles.
Add the Disinfectants: Slowly add the white vinegar and rubbing alcohol to the mixture. Stir well, ensuring that all ingredients are fully incorporated. This combination helps boost the soap’s cleaning power.
Incorporate the Citrus: Squeeze the juice of one lemon into the mixture, being careful to remove any seeds. Add the lemon zest for a refreshing scent and extra texture. Stir again until everything is blended.
Customize Your Scent: If you wish to enhance the fragrance, add a few drops of your chosen essential oil. Lavender, tea tree, or eucalyptus oils are great options for their additional antibacterial properties.
