As a rule, small pieces left over from toilet soap are usually thrown away, as using them becomes uncomfortable. However, thrifty housewives with a creative spirit and well-developed imagination use these remnants to create many useful things in everyday life.
Soap balls
If you accumulate a sufficient number of multi-colored remnants, then from them you can create original soap balls that will serve not only for hygienic purposes, but also for decorating the bathroom.
To make balls, pieces of soap are grated, the chips are poured with a small amount of warm water: 20-30 ml of water are necessary for 100 g of soap. The mixture is left for 30-40 minutes until the soap swells and dissolves.
After that, a teaspoon of glycerin is added to the soap solution, mixed thoroughly and dense balls or any other figures are formed from the resulting mass.
For an additional fragrance of soap, a few drops of your favorite essential oil or a pinch of aromatic spices can be added to the mixture. If it is necessary that the balls turn out with a peeling effect, then a small amount of oatmeal is added to the mass.
Ready balls are covered with a napkin or cloth and left to dry for 7-10 days.
Liquid soap and dishwashing detergent
The chips obtained from the remnants are placed in a vial, poured with hot water and mixed well. When the soap has completely dissolved, a little coconut oil is added to it for additional skin care and aromatized with ethers.
If, instead of coconut and essential oils, add 1 tbsp. To the mixture baking soda or mustard, then from the remnants an environmentally friendly dishwashing detergent is obtained.
