Use soap scraps

Normally, the last remnant of a soap is simply thrown away after it has simply become too small to have any more washing effect.

Too bad, considering how much soap is destroyed over time unused.

Therefore, my long-practiced tip:

Collect soap scraps in a closed container. So come together in this way to the 30 to 50 leftover pieces, finely grated with a kitchen grater in a pot, add a little (little) water and stir the whole thing to a cream (goes even better on a hot stove). If you want, you can add some perfume.

Then press the warm soap cream firmly into a plastic soap dish, allow to cool and then place in the freezer overnight. Then the cream can be easily solved as a solid bar of soap from the soap dish (with a knife to solve all around). Allow a few more days to dry out and a new piece of homemade soap is ready.
