Leftover pieces of soap, 8 things to do with them.

Leftover pieces of soap, 8 things to do with them.

Paul Walker

There are several creative and practical ways to use leftover small pieces of soap:

  1. Soap Balls: Collect the small soap pieces and mold them together into a ball or a new bar of soap. You can do this by softening the soap in warm water, then pressing the pieces together firmly to form a cohesive shape.

  2. Soap Sachets: Place the small soap pieces into a small cloth bag or a piece of pantyhose and tie it securely. You can then use this as a sachet in drawers or closets to keep clothes smelling fresh.

  3. Liquid Soap: Grate or finely chop the soap pieces and dissolve them in hot water to create liquid soap. This can be used for handwashing, dishwashing, or even as a general household cleaner.

  4. Exfoliating Scrub: Mix finely grated soap with sugar, salt, or coffee grounds to create a homemade exfoliating scrub. This can be used to scrub away dead skin cells and leave your skin feeling smooth and refreshed.

  5. Soap Flakes: Grate the soap pieces into fine flakes and use them as laundry detergent. Simply add a small amount of soap flakes to your laundry load for a natural and eco-friendly cleaning option.

  6. Soap Confetti: Cut or grate the soap pieces into tiny confetti-like shapes and use them as decoration for gifts or as a fun addition to baths for kids.

  7. Emergency Sewing Kit: Sew the small soap pieces into a piece of cloth to create a makeshift emergency sewing kit. The soap can be used to mark fabric or as a temporary adhesive for fabric repairs.

  8. Drawer Freshener: Place small pieces of soap in your dresser drawers to keep your clothes smelling fresh and clean.
