What can be done with the pieces of soap that are left over in the shower?

Question

There has to be a use for them other than just tossing them.

Answer 1

when the soap becomes too small to use, i take out a new soap and stick the little left over soap to the new one. then you have created a bigger soap. i just use the side with the little soap for subsequent showers. then the "bigger soap" will run out of the little side first, and it will become a normal soap again. and this cycle repeats so you never get a bundle of little pieces.

Answer 2

We have a couple of soap dishes that don't get used very much. Instead of putting a fresh bar of soap there to dry out or get knocked on the floor, the pieces are put there stacked and as they are wetted the first time, they stick together. The soap is harder than a fresh bar, missing some of the volatiles.
They can be pressed to form more of a bar or flaked on a grater to make flakes that will dissolve easier for washing floors.

Answer 3

Easy. Put them all into a pretty jar and add a small amount of water. Over time they will melt. Drain off any water and, using your hands or a mold, form them into new pieces of soap. They are best used for guests because they can be made small enough for one or 2 uses. They can also be used for liquid hand soap. Just dissolve them and put the liquid into a dispenser.

Answer 4

I take mine and soften them up in the microwave. Then I squeeze them into the shape of a bar of soap. I've saved a lot of money on soap this way. Be careful the soap can get very hot in the microwave. You don't have to melt them completely. Place them in a bowl after they have softened I use a spatula and scrap them onto a piece of tin foil. I cover my hands in plastic bags to shape the soap. You can use a little water to help smooth the new bar into shape.

Answer 5

Put the small bits together in an old piece of nylon stocking and tie up to use as soap. Attach the small soap to the new bar to keep using.

Answer 6

Use old pantyhose and cut about 5 inches up from the toe. Put the soap slivers inside and tie a knot. You can use until there's nothing left.

Answer 7

Throw them out and get a new bar of soap or use them to wash hands or delicates that cant go in the washer

Answer 8

Well u could take those pieces of soap smush them all together and make them into one big soap to use for emergence's ! You know ....make it into a round soap ball.

Answer 9

I like the hose idea re: exfoliating purposes. I know someone who travels a great deal. He collects those bitty soaps hotels provide, then squishes them together to use a bar.

He isn't poor, just another whacky Aussie.

Answer 10

previously throwing worn panty hose or knee highs, cut back them above the ankle and position the left over cleansing soap in it and tie round outdoor tap and use after operating outdoors and save the mess from the in the homestead.
