I like it because Dawn is always promoting how their soap is used to clean baby ducks covered in crude oil from tanker spills. I use Dawn’s Platinum Power Clean- I’ve seen others use the same. As a general rule, if the grocery store smells like incense, there’s a good chance you’ll be able to find some.ĭish soap can also be tricky. Usually I eventually find it a bulk or whole food’s store. Anytime I travel somewhere, I forget to pack the guar gum and I find myself buying it again. Most of these ingredients are pretty easy to come by – with exception of guar gum. I have had good luck with Dawn’s Platinum Power Clean – green or blue I think the humidity plays a big part in how well the bubbles work. I tried this same recipe in higher elevation desert country and found the bubbles popped too quickly (except for the time we did bubbles at a pool party). Some folks make bubble making into a true science – that’s not for me, but this recipe is very forgiving, you can ‘eyeball’ the ingredients and still have it turn out great! One note on this recipe, I live in the Eastern united states where it is quite humid most of the summer. This bubble recipe is really easy to make, you can make it up in minutes and it can be used immediately or days later. Part of my reason for posting a well-known recipe is to put it up on my blog where my family can always find it when they need it. Some of them have taken the recipe and shared it too – it’s just so much fun. My family has spent hours blowing/chasing/popping these bubbles with brothers, sisters, cousins, grandparents – everyone. Their site has tons of information about bubbles and I absolutely recommend checking them out. claims credit for making some of the first/best guar gum recipes, so I’d better give a shout out to them too.

I imagine many of you have lived believing the same lie. As you can see in the above photo, and my how-to video, none of these bubbles are spheres – most of them only ‘blobs’. I distinctly remember my grade school teachers telling/showing me how bubbles always form a sphere, even if they are blown through a square wand. However, pretty much the first thing I learned about bubbles was a lie. Even as a kid, I was fascinated by bubbles and I remember how excited I was at our ‘bubble-ology’ class in grade school. They are swirling rainbow orbs that just float where the wind takes them. I love bubbles, they are relaxing, mesmerizing even, to watch.
