When it comes to soap scraps, many of us tend to just throw them away or even boil them to make liquid soap. UAportal has revealed that there are more efficient and inventive ways to get the most out of soap.

Improving the performance of the washing machine

You can benefit from soap scraps by putting them in the washing machine. During the wash cycle, the soap residue will create additional foam, resulting in cleaner clothes.

Moth repellent

Put a few bars of soap in a bag and then hide it in the closet with your fur garments. Moths are repelled by the smell of soap.

Cleaning the toilet

For an easy and refreshing toilet cleaning, try putting bars of soap in the toilet bowl. When the soap dissolves in the water, foam will be released with each flush, ensuring a clean toilet with a pleasant aroma.

Home whitening

Don't underestimate soap scum when it comes to natural whitening. Start by grating or grinding the soap scum into shavings and then mixing it with baking soda and warm water. Mix everything thoroughly and add this mixture to a boiling pot of water.
