I have just purchased a plastic squeeze bottle to mix my green soap in as I normally just mix a bit in a plastic cup. I was wondering how long can you keep a mixture of green soap and distilled water for in a bottle?
Also my green soap has no mixing ratio. How much would you add to a litre bottle?

Cheers

How long do you think is safe to keep an open bottle of distilled water?

there's no rules to what ratio of green soap to water you need to have, i have such LITTLE green soap as it irritates my client less and causes a little less redness, i had 2 mixtures, a more green soapy mixture for when i shave my client down (this causes the hairs/greensoap to all stick to the razer so shaving hairy areas doesn't become a mess

then i have a very watered down (little greensoap mix) i use for wiping during the tattoo as it causes less irritation i find :)

i don't know if there's a time you can keep it, i always just use mine until it runs out it's fine

Yeah i don't think something can happen if you keep it for some time.. i use 1/10 greensoap-distilled water and it has a nice consistency
