I don’t use a whole lot of stain stick, but when you need it, you need it. I came up with my own recipe that’s very simple to make, works great at removing stains, is super cheap ($.39 a tube) and smells fantastic.
Ingredients
  • ⅙ of a Fels-Naptha Soap Bar
  • 1/7 of a Kirk’s Castille Soap Bar
  • 3 TBS Water
  • 1 clean, recycled Deodorant Tube (about 3.5-4 oz)
  • Blender
  • Small Saucepan
  • Spatula
Instructions
  1. Slice about ⅙ off of the Fels-Naptha Bar and 1/7 off of the Kirk's Castille Soap Bar and cut into smaller chunks.
  2. Finely grind the soap up in a blender.
  3. Transfer the ground soap into the small saucepan, turning the heat to medium-low.
  4. Add the 3TBS Water, stir frequently.
  5. When the soap has become a paste, remove from heat and let slightly cool.
  6. When the soap is still slightly warm and pliable, use a spatula to transfer into the deodorant container.
  7. Let cool completely before placing the cap on top.
