When there is about 15% from the replete servo glass of soap, many people think: is it time for him "retired"? He continues to melt and gradually break in his hands - then he is unfortunately sent to the trash can. And completely in vain! The economical owners gladly collect multicolored remnants of soap and fold into a specially eventious jar into this case - because they are well known that "the size does not matter."
First, it saves on various detergents that can be prepared independently from soap residues: shampoo, washing powder, dishwashing liquid, etc. Moreover, such a creative approach to solving household issues for many is valuable in itself. Secondly, the kneadings can be found a lot of useful applications and not directly intended - they will use those who plan to sew something, repair, glue ...
Finally, it is also important and an ecological moment. It is no secret that for the manufacture of a slicing of soap, whether it is an evil-glamorous or severe-economic, one way or another needs factories, steamers, power stations, oil wells. In addition, we need resources on the packaging of this very piece of soap - paper (trees), polyethylene, paint ... Not to mention that for obtaining palm fat (the main component of the soap), tropical forests are actively cut down, the place of which is occupied by Palm plantations ...
In other words, soap costs the planet is much more expensive than we pay for it in the store. In fact, we take it "on credit" by your own future (and with loans, as you know, do not joke). Therefore, soap should not be saved, then at least to treat it is rationally - simply speaking, to use 100%. Next, we will talk about the most popular options for the successful use of the wrath of life.
Two in one
So, the first and simplest thing that can be done with the knear is to attach it to a new bought piece of soap. It is easy to calculate that several times you save on a whole piece. And if you use high-quality and inadequate soap (especially foreign brands, which are imported by the country for growing dollars) - savings will be quite significant.
You can simply collect the kneadings in the bunch, and when there are enough enough, "wash" in a separate piece. If at the same time you always give preference to the same soap form, the trick will be completely invisible, and therefore it does not break the aesthetics of the bathroom even the most picky owner.
"Piggyback" for washers
To begin with, we mention the already existing industrial version of this invention, for which users from all over the world willingly pay money. We are talking about a convenient and functional "loss" for soap residue called "SOAP Bank", developed by DesignOnObt designers. This unusual soapbox consists of a grid for washers and a rubber suction cup, which allows you to easily attach the device to the cafier on the wall. The owner can wash his hands directly through the grid, without fear that the kneadings will slip out of the hands and get squeezed under their feet.
The beauty of this idea is that it can be easily repeated at home, and almost from any submitted materials. Someone souls a thin plastic mesh - kiwi and other "overseas" fruits in supermarkets usually pack. Someone adapts for this Capron or Nylon from the women's tights served. You will get a "portable" option, that is, just a bag with a string, which, if you wish, you can hang on the hook-sucker.
Another way to make a self-absorbed washcloth. To do this, depending on the type of washcloth, wrap or snap into it, if necessary, wrapping the construct with the sachet tape. If you have a garden plot, you can put a couple of pasties in a conventional sock (say, unpaired - and unnecessary) and hang around the crane with water. Soap will be perfectly foaming, will not slip out of the hands and will not be rascis. By the way, the stocking with soaps well scares some pests.
"Restart" soap
If there is time and desire, the remaining slices of soap can be grateted and overpay. As a result, it will be quite full of "new" soap bars. Depending on which the kneadings you will combine, you can get both a decent toilet soap and soap exclusively for household needs with incomprehensible color and aroma. You can learn about the technology of work in detail from numerous master classes of amateur-lovers on the Internet. Let's just say that with the invention of the microwave, this process has become slightly easy and rapid.
However, in secret, the soap chips do not necessarily warm up to make the usual soap bar from her. It is enough to soak it for a while before obtaining a more or less homogeneous viscous mass, and then pour into silicone baking molds, plastic containers from food or any other container, which will be at hand. The main thing is that it is flexible - it will be more convenient to remove the soap when it will succeed.
Liquid soap
From the washcloths of the toilet soap, you can make a great liquid soap for washing yourself a loved one. For this, the kneadings need to grind, fold into the vial with the dispenser almost to the neck and pour hot water. After 4-6 days, it will remain good to shake well and, if desired, make an aroma more pronounced by adding 5-8 drops of beloved essential oil, or a little glycerin to mitigate the skin. Such soap is useful on the washbasin in the bathroom, and in the summer soul, and in the bath.
If this liquid soap add food soda (teaspoon per 500 ml), then there will be an excellent means for washing dishes, tables and any wood utensils. If you add a tablespoon of dry mustard, any oily pan easily. And for the manufacture of a soft shampoo that does not dry the scalp, use only the remnants of the cream soap (however, the hair feel great and when washing a whole piece, it is not fundamentally).
Washing powder
To demonstrate that homemade washing powder is not at all a lot of hippie, give another example of a successful industrial implementation of such a product. Not so long ago, Lauren Singer, an eco-activist and blogger, founded the company "The Simply CO", the first product of which was completely safe for nature and humans washing powder. In its composition ... Laugh, laugh - only soda and organic soap. Nevertheless, the business lives, flourishes and expands!
No one forbids us to make such a detergent with your own hands (and how do you prohibit technologies with which humanity has used more than two thousand years to the industrial revolution?) Grind the kneadings, add food soda - that's a "recipe" of a big washing. If you have a washing machine, you can do without soda: a tablespoon of soapy cereals gives exactly the same effect as a similar amount of washing powder. The only difference is more gentle, slightly catchy fragrance instead of a sharp "Alpine Freshness" and "Sea Breeze".
Different usefulness
Do you know that thanks to the content of fat, the kneadings can serve to facilitate screwing the screws into the tree? The kneadings will also help solve the problem of tightly running, ever fasciated zipper-clashes. If the table box is poorly put forward, it is enough to grasp the bottom of the box from the outside and the supports, along which the box is extended (to reduce friction) - the box of the box will again become light.
You probably remember in childhood that soap can serve as a light glue when it comes to fastening to the window glass of Christmas snowflakes from paper. In the same way, with the help of the washers, you can stick the wooden window frames, in order to prepare your home to winter cold. It is enough to lubricate paper or tape tapes with soap solution, and the traces of it are subsequently easily removed with a damp cloth.
Those who are engaged in sewing, apply the kneads instead of the Portnovo chalk. The lines left are clearly visible, and after washing, there is no trace. Also, the remnants of the toilet soap (as well as the package from it) can be used as a flavoring agent, laying them between lodges in cabinets and suitcases. You can be sure that the shallow smell and moths are no longer afraid!
