Making remnants useful for everyday use

Where do you use remnants? They always remain! Well, we can’t grind soap without any residues. Therefore, the question: "What to do with remnants?" Sooner or later, she faces each mistress. It turns out that the answer to this question already exists.

Throwing is not an option!

Many, without hesitation, throw small pieces into the trash. But, based on statistics, you can come to frightening numbers.

Reference! One person spends a standard bar of soap in 15 days. If even 10 grams remains, 20 grams will accumulate in a month.

A standard slice weighs 75 grams. Means in 4 months we throw almost a bar of soap. And in a year already 3 pieces! Not too economical, agree?

And if you multiply this bar by the price, then for the year you get a pretty good amount. Especially if the family consists of 3-4 people.

Moreover, such remnants clog the planet. Therefore, we will find them the best application.

How to use remnants for their intended purpose

For one hundred percent use, you can use several methods.

We increase the volume of new packaging

The easiest way - attach the rest of the soap to a new piece. To do this, we wet both surfaces and connect the parts.

Advice! If a new piece is convex and the remnant does not hold well, do not connect the parts immediately, but wait until the surface becomes flat.

Cooking Liquid Soap

The method is a little more complicated - to make a solution.

For washing

Pour some water into empty containers and crumble the remnants there. In a few days, you will get a wonderful tool for those who like to use liquid substances when washing.

For domestic needs

• If add water a little more, you get a solution that will perfectly help wash dishes, a car, a sink or wash clothes (and you don’t have to spend money on powder).

Advice! For chores, laundry soap is suitable. It copes better with stains and dirt.

• Droplet ammonia turns the resulting solution into a liquid for mopping or tile.
• When adding regular soda You’ll get a great liquid for the kitchen or bath. And doors with windows can also be washed.

Making a colorful bar

The method is difficult, but beautiful - to make a multi-colored soap, just like in a store.

Will need remnants of soap of different colors, silicone molds and a microwave oven.

• We break the remains of soap arbitrarily. You can grate them (but this is not very convenient) or cut with a knife.
• The resulting crushed mass is mixed, put in containers and put in the microwave.
• In 20 seconds, the remnants will melt and connect together.
• If there is not enough time, repeat the procedure.

Advice! Aromatic oils or fragrances can be added to the mass.

• After that, we cool the bar on the table or in the refrigerator.

Such soap can well be presented as an original presentation. After a little practice, you can make drawings inside the resulting block. To do this, a pattern is laid out from the remnants, and all this beauty is poured with a soap solution. There you can add flower petals, coffee beans and other cute little things.

By the way, all this can be done together with the children, because they love to make such crafts.

We make a washcloth, which soap itself

A pretty self-soaking washcloth will work if fold unnecessary remnants into an old terry sock. Such a washcloth is useful at home, and in the country, and in the bath.

The lack of a sock will not become an obstacle to the manufacture of the necessary things. You can use a regular sock or sew a washcloth from rags. So also it will be possible to get rid of unnecessary things profitably.

Not only soap!

As you can see, you can wash for a long time! But not only can remnants help out.

When sewing

The most traditional way is to use a remnant instead of tailor's chalk. The lines from the soap are perfectly erased, so that there are no traces on the fabric at all.

For those who do not like hand sewing and pick up a needle to darn a hole on their toes, you can make a needle bar. And the needles are stored in one completely safe place, and are better stuck into the fabric.

For lubrication

For men, remnants are also useful, with their help it is better tighten all kinds of screws, lubricate the grooves of the boxes.

Useful small pieces of soap and with poorly fastened zipper on clothes. All you need to do is go through the fastener links, and the problem is solved.

For aromatization of air

Beautiful flavoring for bedding or a suitcase it will turn out from pieces of expensive fragrant soap. When using such a fragrance, one can safely say musty: “Goodbye!”.

Important! Moth does not like soapy “spirit”, therefore such a flavoring is also useful for combating this insect.

By the way, the surrounding insects are also not happy with such a neighborhood, so you can safely leave the remnants on the windowsill.

Garden plants will also thank their owners for such a gift. Indeed, most pests will try to move from them to a more comfortable place. So we put the fragrant pieces in rag bags (or old socks) and hang them on trees and shrubs.

For cosmetic procedures

Fans of homemade cosmetics can treat themselves to gentle bath from grated remnants, salt and a drop of essential oil. And you can make easy scrubusing small pieces of soap, salt, sugar, ground coffee beans.
