My kids can go through so many bars of soap. Is it just my house? (Please tell me it’s not!) They are not whittling soap bath toys. (at least I don’t think so!) The soap just seems to “melt” and be used up so quickly. Have you ever been using a bar of soap, and it gets so soft and squishy, it seems like a lot of the soap is coming off the bar? That’s what I mean by melt.
How to Make Soap Last Longer
I usually buy a big 12 pack of soap at a time. We are going to use it, and it’s cheaper per bar. When I bring it home, I open the pack, and rip the paper off both ends of all the bars of soap.
I know, you’re thinking, “What?”. There is science behind this, though. By removing the paper from the ends, you can remove the whole wrapper if you prefer, the water in the soap evaporates. When the water in the soap evaporates, it makes the bar harder.
When the bar of soap is harder, it doesn’t “melt” as fast in use. Now, if the bar of soap gets left in a puddle of water, it will melt, regardless of whether you use this tip or not.
In as little as a week of the soap sitting with the paper removed you will be able to notice difference. The longer the soap sits, the harder it will be.
I have used this soap tip for many years, and it really does work.
