Little soap hacks (and save money!)

Hey guys,

You know me, I love to post about DIY projects especially when they can save you money!

Since I started making soaps last year, I've learned one thing: soap is soap, and it doesn't matter whether you want to call it dish washing soap, laundry soap, shower soap, antibacterial soap, or whatever soap! Soap is just soap! Soap will always break down fat and kill germs.

Now that we have debunked the soap myth (It really is just a marketing stunt, I guarantee you!), you can save money by saving your soap at home.

If you are like me, and usually throw away your soap when it starts getting too small to properly fit in between your hands, then this post is for you!

I used to toss my "soap cadavers" in the toilet, but what a waste! Now I know better! Keep your soap bar skeletons and put them in a jar with water. They will dissolve, and you can now use them to wash your dishes or your laundry!

Just a tip - warm water will yield faster results!

Now you know! Never again you 'll toss an old bar of soap in the toilet! Now you'll use it to wash your dishes. I'm using an old conditioner bottle for my new dish-washing soap, entirely made from soap scraps:

You'll see, your hands will also thank you, since you won't have to be in contact with those harsh detergents! Oh and yes, it does dissolve grease just as fine, no worries! Always remember, soap is just soap!

Oh and if you want to toss it in the washing machine to wash your clothes with it, that works too!

Don't get fooled by companies trying to make you spend unnecessary money! Soap is soap, no matter how you package it, wrap it,or label it!

You're welcome!

Cheers, Eve

    Haha I wonder why I haven't thought of this before! (-‸ლ) Thanks for the tip!

    What a wonderful idea!!

    No way, even in the shower I try to squeeze 2 or 3 small pieces together, they always fall apart and well, the rest is history. Jar of water ? This begs the question, isn't bathroom soap only good for, the body. Logically it won't work on plates right ? my plate containing eggs, bacon, hash browns, smelling like lavender or pink rose would put me off! just saying. I still liked your post :-)

    I take them and stick them to the new bar of soap while both are wet. The piece will amalgamate to the new bar and become one piece after a few tries usually.

    Hey there, I was wondering, with the process of putting them in water then using them in a pump bottle...Do they not solidify over time?

    This really is a good tip, and one I'll be giving a try although just curious about whether, over time, solidifies and is impossible to get out of the pump bottle. (Maybe dependant on the soap to water ratio I suppose?)
