Creative ways to reduce those soap Slivers
We've all been there – those tiny slivers of soap that seem too small to use but too valuable to toss. In today's video, I'm sharing three innovative ways to rescue your soap remnants, ensuring no bit goes to waste. And yes, one of these methods is an experiment for me – let's see how it turns out!
Experiment 1: Transforming a Shampoo Bar:
Ever wondered what to do with those small shampoo bar remnants?
Slivers of shampoo bar
1/4 cup of water
Melt it down in a pot
A word of caution: because water incorporation changes the preservatives ratio, it's essential to keep this mixture in the fridge between uses to prevent spoilage.
Once cooled, transfer it to a reusable plastic container. Remember, using plastic in the bathroom, as opposed to glass, has its benefits – safety first!
Experiment 2: Soap Fusion without Water:
In this daring experiment, I'm melting down all the soap slivers without adding any water. The goal? To create a blended soap mixture that I'll mold into shape using a silicone mold. Stay tuned for the results – it's a soap alchemy in progress!-FAILED
Experiment 3: Soap Saver Bag Magic:
For a simpler solution, gather those tiny soap pieces and place them in a soap saver bag. Not only does this prevent waste, but it also provides a gentle exfoliation for your skin. As a bonus tip, some folks use old pantyhose for the same purpose – resourcefulness at its finest!
Takeaways and Cautionary Notes:
Soap doesn't melt easily without a liquid, so incorporating water is key.
Avoid microwaving soap – it tends to burn.
Personal preference leans towards melting into a paste or using a soap saver bag for optimal results.
I appreciate your support in watching this video, even if one experiment might not go as planned.
Remember, small actions like rescuing soap slivers contribute to a friendlier planet.
In the pursuit of a sustainable and eco-friendly lifestyle, even the smallest efforts count. Don't underestimate the power of rescuing those soap slivers – it's a simple yet impactful way to reduce waste.
