If you are set out to start making detergents, fabric softener, bleach, disinfectant and shower gel at home, first you need to get the ingredients. In Nairobi they are found in various shops, the most famous one is a chemical shop located in OTC right in front of Tuskys Supermarket. From there, you can actually see a huge number of buyers flocking into the shop or if you are unable to locate the shop, asking any one at the place could be easier as it is very famous. While the prices vary for different supplies, with at least 140/-, you can get ingredients for one type of product and be able to produce up to 5 litres of the same for personal use or commercial purposes.
1. Fabric Softener
Ingredients:- Softener granules, Preservatives, Perfume and Color
Get the granules for softener. Then, boil 5 liters of water to mix this with the granules. Ensure all the granules dissolve into the water and add 5 more liters of water. Ensure that this is cold water, not hot.
Then, add the perfume, preservatives and color. Allow them to settle and you will have fabric softener, 10liters.
2. Bleach
Ingredients:-Chlorine, Magadi and Caustic soda
Take all the ingredients and mix in 10 liters of water. stir well until you are able to get a milky chalky mixture. Add more water to make 20 liters or 25 depending on how concentrated you want your bleach.
After at least 5 hours, stir the mixture once again, repeat this after 12 hours and after 12 more hours. To ensure that it comes out as expected, repeat the stirring process for at least 3 days and you will end up with a clear liquid.
Now sieve using a piece of cloth to ensure that residue pieces are eradicated.
