  • Clean the World is a nonprofit organization that recycles used soaps, lotions, and other toiletries from hotels. Its partners include Hilton, Marriott, and Walt Disney World Resorts, among others. Clean the World has donated over 50 million bars of recycled soap to people in need in 127 countries since its founding in 2009. The organization has had to adapt as more hotel chains move away from single-use toiletries in favor of bulk offerings.
    Hilton’s partnership with Clean the Word began in 2009, not 2019. The data presented in the video reflects the first seven months of the Clean the World Challenge - a promise to donate 1 million bars of soap by October 15, 2019 (Global Handwashing Day). Insider regrets the error.

    I googled the sterilization process of soap so here it goes:
    1. The soap is rinsed from any dirt/hair
    2. It is put to furnace with temperature of 120 celsius or 250 fahrenheit, it is meant to kill bacteria and fungi
    3. It goes through UV (ultraviolet) light to kill more microbial bacteria
    You can find more information of the stages by googling if you get really interested
    Edit: clean the world has left comment surrounding the process too, so you should read that too if you're interested more in detail of their method. My comment is more of a general way of doing it.

    I have been "recycling" soap bits for years. In the Navy we used to keep the small bits left behind and smash them together and use them. Usually the soap had different colors and we called it "rainbow soap". I always keep my small bits and make new bars instead of throwing them away. Annoys the heck out of my wife. Just to be more clear, these "soap bits" would be about the size of a 1/4 bar and the size that gets hard to hold on to. Now days I save them for years in a small plastic bucket, then add water and heat to melt and pour "new" soap bars. The soap bits in the Navy were same 1/4 size bars that some guys just could not be bothered with and would leave in the soap dish. I never had any skin ailment while on active duty. I also retired in 1985 and have had no skin ailments since retiring. I always looked at soap as clean if you washed the small bar well before saving it. Sounds like some readers are put off by this practice. Wonder how well they would have fared when "soap" was made at home! Look up colonial soap making! Lye water made by pouring water over old ashes, added to animal fats left over from cooking. UMMH, I think I prefer my mashing small 1/4 bars together to completely use the soap I buy at the store.

    I gotta say, having worked front desk for over 15 years, I quite frankly had no idea what housekeeping did with the soaps. Though while I was staying in a hotel this past weekend, the thought had crossed my mind about what a waste it was that this soap is getting used for two days and then, presumably, tossed, so kudos to Shawn Siepler for coming up with a great way to take care of that problem and helping out those who otherwise wouldn't have access to these products.

      @Andersi There is no possible way for anyone to actually do something good and have you believe them is there? They’re always “doing it for themselves” or “doing it for fame or recognition”. How about they just want to do a good thing? How about they actually have a heart and empathy for people other than themselves, people less fortunate than themselves? No of course not, they’re actually bad people for going out of their way to do something nice for people when they could’ve just... not done anything. Not everyone is a disgusting piece of shit like you who lacks all empathy for others. There are a lot of you, but you are mistaken for thinking you’re with the majority.

Bars of soap, body wash, shower gel, bath bombs, shampoo, conditioner, multiple types of everything, multiple colors, and multiple scents. Even products customized for us based on our skin or hair needs. Things like this really humble me and make me grateful for what I have. I would love to donate some new soap to these people.

      Yeah, doo-gooderism isn't too concerned with *actually* intelligent solutions. It only has to match public appeal.

      They could still do that and that would be a valuable test to see how the recycling nonprofit would react to that.

I then saved the current bar which would take several days to consume, and I would put the new, still in the wrapper bars in my luggage. It didn't take long to amass a pile of soap at home that lasted years after I stopped travelling. Glad to see that some good has come from the waste.

    I used to travel extensively and I'd just take the half used stuff with me and use it until it was done. Often I'd get to a hotel and never touch their stuff because I had stuff from the previous stay.
    A lot of the times I would be booked into a dive and they wouldn't have anything so I came equipped. It also helped on my boat since you always wanted travel size stuff in the head anyways.
    I also never had them bring fresh towels, kind of stupid to use something once and then require it to be washed...I mean, you're supposed to be clean coming out of the shower right? Many of the places I stayed in had "if you don't want your towels replaced, hang them up" so I always hung them. I also made the front desk know I didn't need my sheets changed every freaking night.
