To use, always dilute the soap with water. For general cleaning, mix about half a cup of soap with a gallon of water. For washing dishes, use a few drops in a sink full of water. For personal washing, dilute to a mild lather, typically one to two drops per cup of water. It can also be used for laundry, with about a third of a cup per load. Experiment with dilution ratios to find what works best for your specific needs.

How to keep the rest
Store the soap in its original container at room temperature. Keep the cap tightly closed to prevent evaporation and contamination. It is best to avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat or direct sunlight, which can affect the quality over time.
