What to Do With Those Leftover Slivers of Soap: Make Liquid Soap

Boil water in a pan on stove top-add soap chips and slivers.

Reduce to simmer while stirring every so often to make sure the soap is melting.

Pour your mixture into a recycled soap dispenser and add some white vinegar, baking soda and salt.

Measure out as much or as little of each ingredient as you’d like depending on how much you need and how thick you’d like it.

This soap can be used in your laundry for natural fibers, as a hand soap and even as dish soap if you happen to run out of dish liquid-don’t put it in an auto-dishwasher! You can also use it to clean around the house like wash your tiled floors, wiping down counters and bathrooms and cleaning areas where children may eat off of-whatever…it’s your choice-it’s safe, natural, simple and cheap. Oh, and you can always add washing soda to your laundry soap for extra cleaning. I don’t feel I need that for natural fibers.
