• Add the sulphonic acid a little at a time till all is added to it. Stir gently as the product may foam heavily.
• Continually add water to it and stir until the mixture turns whitish
• Add the dissolved STPP and keep stirring
• Add the dissolved SLS to the content and stir
• Add soda ash and stir
• Turn the mixture into the bowl containing the Antisol or Nitrosol and keep stirring till the solution thickens. Stirring should be very slow because vigorous turning may lead to excess foaming
• Add the dissolved colorant.
• If the foaming is excessive, stop stirring till the foaming disappears, and turn again. You can as well dilute the mixture with water if it is too thick.
• Add fragrance and preservative and stir. When all the chemicals are well mixed, leave the mixture to stay for some hours, and finally package it into bottles.
