How to use remnants on the farm

Over time, many bars of soap accumulate at home. Due to their small size, it is impossible to properly wash your hands or fully use them in everyday life, but it is a pity to throw them away. If there is nowhere to put the remnants, use one of the methods provided in the article. Thus, you will give the soap residue a second life.

Liquid soap

Liquid soap is much more convenient to use than bar soap, but it also costs a lot more. If you have several different remnants lying around at home, turn them into a liquid hand cleaner.

You will need a lot of soap residue, glycerin, lemon juice and hot water. Grate the leftovers on a fine grater, place the shavings in a bottle with a dispenser, add a cap of glycerin and a little lemon juice, fill everything with hot water and close the lid tightly. In order for the soap to begin to dissolve faster, shake the bottle well.

The mixture will be infused for several days until completely dissolved. As an additive, you can drop a few drops of your favorite essential oil into the resulting product to give it a pleasant aroma.

Decorative soap

Decorative soap is not only a useful product for your hands, but also a beautiful decoration for your home. In order to stop the remnants into a beautiful bar, you will have to resort to cooking.

Grate the pieces on a fine grater or chop with a knife, put the dry mixture in a metal container and cover with warm water. Place the saucepan in a water bath and wait for the mixture to completely dissolve. To speed up the process, melt the soap in the microwave. Prepare beautiful silicone molds, grease them with vegetable oil and pour out the melted liquid.

After two days, the mass will completely solidify, then it can be carefully pulled out and used in everyday life. Also, when creating a decorative soap, you can add food colors, fragrances and aromatic oils to it.

Self-lathering washcloth

For a washcloth, you always need to buy a shower product. However, if a few remnants have accumulated at home, you can use them with benefit - make a self-soaping washcloth. You will need any body sponge, soap base, rubbing alcohol and essential oil. The process is very simple:

1. Melt the sticks in a water bath and add a few drops of aromatic oil. Orchid, orange, or vanilla oil is great.
2. Sprinkle some rubbing alcohol on the washcloth.
3. Dip the sponge thoroughly into the soap base and press it down for a few seconds so that it has time to absorb enough liquid. Leave the washcloth in the mold until the soap solidifies.

All that remains is to remove the sponge from the container and hang it in the shower. She is very pleased, and most importantly, it is convenient to carry out water procedures.

Natural laundry detergent

Strong chemicals are often added to modern laundry detergents. If you want to make it as natural as possible, use remnants.

Grate them on a fine grater, mix with an equal amount of baking soda or soda ash, and add a couple of drops of aromatic oil for a scent. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly and put in any container. The powder turns out to be not only good in quality, but also environmentally friendly. So you can not be afraid for the state of your belongings and health.

Shaving foam

Shaving foam is a fast consumable product. Instead of buying a new bottle every time, try making one with soapy leftovers.

You will need remnants and a special shaving brush. It is enough just to pour hot water over the pieces, wait until they melt slightly and drain the remaining liquid. There are two ways to whip the foam - on the body or in a bowl. Better to use the second option to speed up the process.

Take a shaving brush, dip it into a container of soapy water and move in a circular motion until the mass foams. Then just apply it to your skin and start shaving.

Cupboard fragrance

In order for clothes and linen in the closet not to stale and always smell pleasant, you can make a natural flavoring agent. First of all, dry the remnants so that they do not stain everything around. Buy or sew small bags yourself, place dry bars in them and put them in the closet under the clothes.

This way you get a scent that will always keep your wardrobe fresh.

Scrub

A scrub is ideal for maintaining healthy and beautiful skin. Instead of buying expensive beauty products from the store, make your own skincare product. For cooking you will need:

• a tablespoon of coffee grounds;
• 100 grams of soap base;
• 5 drops of any aromatic oil.

Melt the remnants in a water bath, add the thick and essential oil to it, mix everything well, put it in a mold and let it completely freeze. After that, you can safely get the resulting scrub and use it to wash your hands and body.

Dishwashing liquid

When you run out of gel for dishes, and there is no other at hand, make it from remnants. Such a product perfectly cleans surfaces and is not harmful to health.

It is necessary to grate 100 grams of soapy pieces, pour 10 ml of hot water over them and beat the mixture well with a fork or whisk. Then add 3 tablespoons of baking soda and a couple of drops of essential oil and whisk again.

Instead of the usual chemical, you have an eco-friendly dish paste that can also be used to clean sinks and tiles.

"Soaping" to a new piece

If a lot of very small remnants have accumulated in the house, but it's a pity to throw it away - make one full-fledged piece. Gather all the pieces together, dip them in hot water and squeeze tightly with your hands. When the soap melts, it will soften and easily adhere to adjacent pieces. Shape the remnants and let dry.

This way, you have one solid bar of soap that will be convenient to use in everyday life.
