Small soap scraps often get thrown away, but they actually have many useful purposes. Here are some ways to make the most of them:
1. Make Liquid Soap
- Collect soap scraps and melt them in hot water, stirring until dissolved.
- You can add essential oils or aloe vera gel for fragrance and moisture.
- Pour into a pump bottle and use it as hand soap.
2. Create a New Soap Bar
- Crush the soap scraps and mix them with a little warm water.
- Press the mixture into a mold (such as a small container), then let it dry.
- After a few days, you’ll have a brand-new soap bar.
3. Make a Soap Pouch
- Place the small soap pieces in a mesh bag or a thin cloth and tie it up.
- Use it as a loofah or handwashing tool for convenience.
4. Use for Laundry Detergent
- Grate the soap scraps and dissolve them in warm water to create a laundry solution.
- Add a bit of baking soda for extra cleaning power.
5. Deodorize Shoes and Wardrobes
- Put some soap scraps in a small fabric pouch and place it inside shoes or closets to absorb moisture and keep them smelling fresh.
6. Lubricate Stuck Zippers and Drawers
- Rub a small soap piece on a stuck zipper or drawer rails to help them move smoothly.
7. Repel Insects
- Some soaps with citrus, mint, or herbal scents can repel ants and bugs.
- Dissolve soap in water and spray in areas where ants or roaches appear.
