I had heard of some of that, but never thought about the cleaning option.

I had heard of some of that, but never thought about the cleaning option.

I use it for-
Ice on the driveway
My chickens for dust bath.
I have cleaned my camp dishes before with it.

One of these day I need to try making lye soap.

I usually just turn it into my garden soil. Puts a lot of nutrients into the soil.
