Grate the soap residue on a fine grater, add a tablespoon of baking soda, and then pour the mixture into hot water.
Soak your clothes in it as usual before washing. This mixture restores the whiteness of your laundry and helps remove stubborn stains.
A little bonus: this homemade product is also very good at degreasing pots or lightly soiled dishes.
Make a natural deodorant for your toilet
Want a fresh, chemical-free toilet? Leftover scented soap is ideal for this.
Cut it into small pieces and place them in a small hanging bag or in the toilet tank.
A subtle scent will be released with each flush, while keeping the bowl clean. Simple, effective, and 100% economical!
Tip: for a fresh, long-lasting scent, choose lavender or lemon soap.
Protect your clothes from moths
Moths hate strong smells – and that’s great news for your wardrobe.
Put a few bars of soap in organza bags or small cloth bags and then place them between wool sweaters, coats or winter boots.
The result: your clothes will remain protected and delicately scented. A two-in-one gesture, both useful and elegant.
Temporary substitute for detergent
Don’t have detergent on hand? Don’t panic!
Put a small amount of soap residue in an old sock (or laundry bag), tie it tightly and put it in the washing machine drum.
The foam released during each wash will effectively clean small amounts of laundry. This quick solution is a lifesaver in emergency situations and helps reduce the use of industrial detergents – which is good for the planet and your budget.
