People are so weird about soap bars. It’s. Soap. It’s a cleaning agent. It still works even if someone else used it before you.
You’ve never lived with the kind of men that cause the issues. Imagine you go to use a hand soap and see pubes on it, are you saying that after finding out your dad has used it in his crack, you’d tell people they were silly? Maybe think of scenarios before you try to patronise because you come across as very young and lacking experience otherwise. 🙌🏻
say that when you see a poop particle stuck to it.
If you mean like microscopic, I don’t care. If you meant like a chunk? That person needs to learn how to clean up after themselves when they use the bathroom better lol. I lived in Korea and there was bar soap on like a stick in so many public restrooms. I lived! Lol
If your friends are pooping on their hands before using the handsoap, you need better friends😂 wtf@@maithilym4717
I never thought twice about touching a soap bar, but my friend came over to my place once and all she said when she came out of the bathroom was "bar soap.... bold move." and that interaction lives rent free in my head
I have my bar of soap in my wash bag no one else uses it. I’m a lil paranoid idk where people out there soap.
I never use any soap bar in another persons place. It’s not self cleaning, other people have touched it where I don’t know where their hands have been, and bacteria can live on wet soap bars. I bring my own soap to use in the bathroom and mind my business ❤
Relateable
@@sukai121 It is literally self cleaning. I run it under water and BOOM.
@@Username0467 google it dude idk what else to tell ya
The fact people think soap harbors bacteria is actually hilarious 😂
Let me say this so the people in the back can hear me...SOAP IS SELF CLEANING. IT IS LITERALLY SOAP
It's the principle
Soap is not actually a disinfectant. The germs bind to the bipolar soap molecules and are rinsed away with the lather. If the bar is not rinsed the germs can just hang out there because they are not dead.
Yeah, but if your hands are really dirt... like mud or something like this, the soap will be dirty with grains. Believe in me. It will. Also anything which stains, small hairs, etc...
@@IsabellaCoelhothe toxins that some germs produce is usually what makes them deadly, not just a piece of dirt or hair by itself. Soap washes away those germs and the germs don't breed on the soap.
Dude I would find shit in the soap… let’s just say soap is not self cleaning..
Okay, but people need to learn how soap bars work instead 🤣
Facts
Huh?? I don’t get it
@@anitagurns9480 Soap Dodger
@@anitagurns9480 this comment reminded me of bill nye. Oh the days..
@@anitagurns9480Soap bars are pretty antibacterial all on their own. The way that soap works is that it literally makes your hands too slippery for germs to cling to so they get washed down the drain. A soap bar is very slippery and therefore not a good place for bacteria to grow so they're actually very hygienic.
you're worried about... dirty... soap?? first of all you're about to wash your hands, and second of all, it's SOAP
😂exactly what she on about! It’s SOAP!😂
if the person has kids coming over they might play with the soap( as a kid my siblings and I would squish the soap and it would turn into goo) so this could prevent that
You can buy castile soap in glass if a touched soap bar gives you the ick 😂.
@@MacKcheesiepretty sure kids might want to taste these colourful sprinkles in the container 😇
@@anpruchif that is the case let them eat it if they eat it and find out is nasty they won’t do it again
You can actually turn 1 bar of soap into a couple gallons of liquid hand soap. Super easy! I used to do it once a year, and I had hand soap for ages.
I need to do this omg
How do you do that?? With the shavings?
what’s the best way?
Seems like it would be lacking the preservative necessary to provent bacteria growth. That's why they say you shouldn't dilute normal liquid hand soap into Foaming Hand Soap. I assume it would apply to this as well.
@@Username0467wait why can't you use regular soap in the foaming bottle? I've always done this, I just fill it with like ⅛ of antibacterial dish soap & the rest water. Never have issues
You would have to tell me that's the soap because I would assume its something I shouldn't touch
Thank you, I’m glad that I am not the only one that thought the same! When I saw the soap in the video I immediately thought “if I were a guest here and wasn’t told by the host before using the restroom that the soap would be the jar full of shaved bits - I would be trying to wash my hands and overlook that jar, leading me to become a bit annoyed that no soap is on the countertop where it should be and worse, begin to suspect that maybe hand washing after using the restroom here isn’t part of your hygiene practices”.
I know that isn’t the reputation that this content creator/sustainable product business owner is looking for, so I am giving her the benefit of the doubt that she does forewarn her guests so that they aren’t inconvenienced in the restroom.
I would try to eat it
Just put a label on the jar lol
@@unknown_8588 that would be a good idea
Thissssssssss, I’d assume it’s something not for me
So it went from everyone touching to soap bar to everyone’s hands going in the same container for soap
Watch my most recent video for an update :)
Lol.... exactly!
She's trying 🙄 to be "trendy" and "genius."😂
Exactly
Plus people will reach for it with their dripping hands, wetting all the other shavings
Rather than the shredded sprinkle soap I support a company that makes all natural healthy body products and they make these little thin strips of soap which artist cut off from their soap bars. I love using those or the dissolvable soap strips.
A parmesan cheese shaker would be ideal.
you could also do a lil spoon to scoop the shavings into ur hand to avoid dampening the entire jar! i think this is just missing a few extra steps to have it actually address the original “prob” of ppl finding it gross to touch a bar of soap. i love the shaker idea too
I love your videos! ❤ But I found that Bath and Body Works came out with a glass reusable soap dispenser and liquid soap in a recyclable box! I have been using it to cut down on my use of plastics and I love it, I couldn’t be more obsessed!!❤ I wouldn’t recommend more!
This is actually such an amazing tip. It was really easy to make and did not leave a big mess that I thought it would. I used handmade all natural soap that was gifted to me and half the bar filled the whole container. It lasts much longer and is way more sanitary!❤
Why worry about touching the soap bar.. they have to turn on the tap and touch the toilet flusher etc. And it’s soap! It cleans!
it’s just a preference for some people. That and- you’re telling me you don’t disinfect and sanitize your bathroom regularly ? That should include the handle of the toilet and sink.
@phoebethesapphic7289 I’m not telling you that all Pheobe.. I’m not sure how you jumped to that conclusion.
@@phoebethesapphic7289You can’t possibly clean the bathroom after every time someone goes. 😭
@@beingme._.eilonwy4571 before and after having guests over, absolutely I do. I deep clean my apartment twice a week and that includes door handles, the toilet flusher, and sink faucets. 😂
there was a research that shows that soap is TOO DENSE to let bacteria in, so anything is left only on the outside. if you wash your hands with soap with someone's bacteria on it, after you rinse it out, the bacteria is washed off too, so none is on your hands. don't be afraid to use soap bars! it IS better for everyone to have one personal soap each esp for body
We used bars of soap for everything back in the day. The corporations changed the way we lived by developing and selling products. When I was young we used a bar of soap for bathing, cleaning our hair and washing our hands.
Could you please make a detailed video on how to clean the whole house(or at least a few parts of it) in a eco-friendly way? Love your content!
You have such pretty hair😍
The fact that it lasts longer is everything. I'm so inspired by you. You also look like my sister 😍
Yes soap is self cleaning but if something may stress someone out it doesn't really matter if its based jn fact or not. This is such a sweet, considerate thing to do. And shes saying it lasts longer so it's a win win !
Nah people should just stop being silly and not think soap is “gross”. Soap is how we clean! It’s the opposite of gross. I wouldn’t cater to precious people. Just lather your hands, wash, rinse and dry and you’re all clean!
We also use sponged to clean if I shoved a sponge up my ass let it sit in there for a day took it out and wiped your plate with it would you eat off the plate?
There is a soap shop that I’ve been to and they had little gummy bear soap in a jar so whoever needed to wash their hands they would just take one and use it and move on.
You should try hand soap sheets. I’m pretty sure you can buy them in bulk. Each person just takes a sheet and it does the job.
i do the same with my Shampoo, Conditioner, and Body Wash Bars! it’s great it lasts so much longer and is the only reason i keep plastic lids on my jars
Have a look round your local area for soap makers and see if they do liquid soap. Our local person gives us a bottle of soap it's easily 6 liters if not more and we decant it into a old glass soap dispenser. Every year she refills the same bottle she originally gave us at least 5 years ago now. Tons of liquid hand soap plus support local business (I live in the UK so I am very fortunate to have this option)
Just add hot water & a pump to make it liquid
Your channel is very helpful i learned alot
Bar soap isn't gross in the germy way, it's gross in a slimy goopy wet sorta way. I love the grated soap in the shaker idea, it works like a charm! Even my husband mentioned that he liked it. Thank you!
They also make hand soap concentrate I believe!! So it comes in bars but you put it into water and it makes foaming hand soap plastic free :)
soap cleans itself, although this would be a really good use for leftover bars of soap :3
What a genius idea 😱🥰 thank you
If you already do have the pump bottles or soap squirt bottles, it is easy to refill them with shaved bar soap and water. I make up a bunch of bottles at once because I have several places I need them, and I like to always have ready refills. Before use, they need to sit for about 24hrs in a warm place, then shake gently. But it is a great way to recycle what you already have and also removes most of the repetitive touching.
You should put a shaker top on it so u can shake out the shavings onto your hand (you could repurpose an old canning lid and put holes in it)
You could add a little olive spoon to make it easier and add a little pretty
I would suggest putting it in a shaker with large holes cause as the kind of person that is unnecessarily grossed out by soap bars, the idea of everyone's dirty fingers in the shavings is not better. Ps the soap lasting longer is not great if it means people are using less soap, a good later is important when washing hands
I do love myself a Mrs. Meyers hand soap but move from there exclusive ones with Grove, like their compassion flower, fresh grass is amazing, oat blossom, plumberry, don't get me started on the pumpkin. Regardless they are a favorite at heart, I just don't like all the plastic and the refills don't have the same variety in scents and more plastic. I have recently bought soap made from one of these awesome YT/TikTok creators which opened me up into another creator who does the same more variety. But I love they are all about the natural, eco-friendly, thoughtful when it comes to waste, not to mentions their awesome designs and scents. I saw one of the 2 I ordered from, I THOUGHT she was now using a plastic shrink wrap but come to find out its not and its biodegradable all that. I honestly forgot what it is but made me feel better knowing.💜🤍💚
I LOVE the shaving of the soap idea and I bet it last much longer. I will give it a try and I love the shaker idea someone mentioned. Wondering if it does work.💜🤍💚
Thankfully I have a local store that lets me refill my Dr. Bronners soap, so in my downstairs bathroom (the one guests use the most), I have liquid soap in an old glass container that I fill half with Dr. B's and half with water. I have regular bar soap at my kitchen sink and upstairs bathroom. 😊
I’m a new convert, and I have a LOT of back stock of hand soap. (Well, a couple of bottles plus a refill bottle.) I’m leaving that in my bathroom for guests to use!! One day it’ll run out, but I don’t have guests over too often, so it’ll be a long time.
Soap cleans itself…? It’s not like it’s a shower bar and it’s just touching your hands to GET SOAP and then put it down, wash normally, I don’t get why people are so weird about bar soap?
You can also make homemade handsoap easily!!! Grate up a bar of soap and add it to a stainless steel pot with some water (I can't remember precise measurements now, but my mom uses an online recipe for it). Boil it down for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, and let it cool completely/overnight. Then, just funnel it into a handpump and adjust the recipe to your desired texture. It takes a little work, but we make it by the gallon so we don't have to make it often
Try dissolving it with rose water or normal water, so it will become like liquid hand soap
Put it in a parm shaker so wet hands arent making your soap flakes all goopy and then drying into a clump.
I have made liquid soap out of bar soap by adding bar soap shavings into water & boiling about 10 minutes then adding veggie glycerin. It’s awesome & saves lots of $$$
Thanks! That is a great idea! My kids use sooo much liquid soap, and bars of soap just get gooey in my house. Thanks!
This is revolutionary! At least for me!
Good girl!!! love it! ❤❤❤
I need to do this! I can’t really use liquid soap as it hurts my eczema so I use a moisturizing soap bar this is genius
I grate a soap bar. Dissolve in 8 cups hot water, add 8 cups cold water and pour into a gallon jar and then refill soap dispensers.
My next idea is to upcycle one of my old salt shaker jars so people just shake the soap & go!😄
Shop my zero waste store!: www.loveofearthco.com
Wet hands, dip in jar for soap, repeat as many times as you have guests multiple times... End with gros wet gunk. Do we have a better idea cuz I'm doing the as less plastic as possible deal and I'm open to ideas.
Maybe cut it into thin strips like the ones you bring on a backpacking adventure?
How do you scoop the soap out the tiny bowl without getting it all wet? I wouldn’t remember to grab soap first every time. ❤
I bought two of the method foaming handsoap bottles 3 years ago and then found blue planet foaming pods that your just put in warm water and refill. Now I could have bought the glass bottle from blue planet and thrown out the method plastic bottles but there was no reason too when I could just refill the plastic ones with the dissolving soap pods. They are $2 a pod, buying new liquid hand soaps are like $4 a container these days.
Or just get bulk liquid soap refill, it's still less plastic. Soap sanitizes, if germs touch it, they die on the soap. Soap can't have germs on it. Besides, you're using layers and layers of the bar, so it's peeling all that back anyways the more you use it.
its great if this helps but I would also see there being confusion with the guests about how to use it 😅 I think it would be better to make those shavings into a liquid soap
I find that normal hand soap is bad for my skin so I’ve been buying foam hand soap refills from Tirtyl! All of the packaging is compostable and I love their laundry sheets!
There is a company selling an all in one soap grating system! It’s called LESSEAU and is based in the Netherlands (not sure if they ship internationally though..).
You can also leave the soap in water so its diluted or but Knoh from your suppliers it makes your soap instant liquid
Okay, this is super smart. I might try find an old spice or cheese jar to use as a soap shaker so I don't have to scoop. This is also great because liquid soap is expensive.
this is an amazing idea!!!!!
Wanna try!!
Y'all I take a yearly health & safety course for my daycare job. It's a certified course with plenty of quality sources. They stress that bar soap DOES harbor more bacteria than liquid soap. But I love this hack for soap at home!
Put a little paddle to dip into the jar or put the soap flakes in a cheese shaker. All they have to do is shaker it into their hands. Wipe down the shaker.
You can also boil down the soap shavings in water and make liquid soap and then you can put it in a reusable dispenser
There are also really great liquid soap refills that come in cardboard cartons, not zero waste but much better and less plastic.
so another thing! my mom taught me this but you can make soap scrub in glass jars, it's good for skin and lots of recipes online too!
I have sensory issues and let me say, thank you so much for doing this. It really is a genius idea. Of course I KNOW soap is self-cleaning, but the thought of touching soap other people have put their hands all over makes me have a visceral reaction of disgust.
If you rinse the soap first (the top coat slides off) and really hand wash WITH FRICTION guys, you’re golden. Soap isn’t like hand sanitizer. You have to work it and rub you hands.
Thank you for this because it also works for me body soap in the shower
i love this sm, idc about the science of bar soap or whatever it just feels so wrong using s soap bar that everyone has touched😭bar soap is not as pristine as everyone thinks it is
I don’t like soap bars because they wind up as mush when barely used at my house (I know, store them better, but the kids 😵💫.) I love this grated soap idea! I wonder if I could make this work in the shower somehow, without it getting clumpy….
I really like your videos but soap is SELF CLEANING so no need to worry about that
Put the shavings in a shaker jar with big holes.
Watch my most recent video. A little update✨
A parmesan cheese shaker would be ideal.
Great idea I love it
This feels way more disgusting than just a bar. Like what about if they got their hands wet first? Then they’re dripping a bunch of germ water into your batch of soap.
Where do you buy your soaps?!
i use liquid soap and just refill in a glass container from a zero waste shop beside my house but this is so cool
The good thing I see in this is you don't get that "soap goo" on the soap dish AND yes it can seem/feel/ be cleaner since when soap is held with dirty hands it can leave that on it and I've seen that before and it's disgusting to touch. This idea is Wayyyyyyyyy better especially for guest. 👍😊
Question, can you also do that with your shampoo and conditioner bars
You can also make your own hand wash by putting those soap shavings in hot water and adding essential oil.
There was actually a prototype soap dispenser i saw online years ago that looked like one of those wall mount push button liquid soap ones, but it used solid soap blocks and had a built in grater to dispense fresh shavings instead.
I thought it looked like such a great idea but idk if they ever made a commercial product
I'm planning on transitioning into using glass soap dispensers with eco friendly refills! But this is definitely a clever idea
Ive been doing this with soap and have found a great container for it is the glass and metal Parmesan shakers that you see in pizzarias
Love the t shirt❤
Skin cells are left on soap bars and the moisture in the soap dish grows bacteria. She’s right to think of an alternative for guests.
Girl i love that ❤🎉
Grating the soap is a good idea,or cut it in half that way you don't use it all at once😊🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏💙💙💙🤔
That’s such a good idea!! I’m going to cut th bar in half!! Happens I just bought a lovely big bar of Rose an Ylang soap!!🌺🌸🌺❤️
What would you recommend for a caregiver that needs to bring your own soap.
You can dissolve the shaved soap in hot water and put it into a pump. One bar will last a year
That’s true but you can buy a ceramic hand washer jar and then refill every time
I think the grating is nice because i hate how slimy soap bars get after a while
I have a bunch of sample size bars of soap. I might have to use this hack to combine it all and put into a shaker for a different look and ease of use
I put my soap remnants into an up-cycled glass pump container, poor boiling water (hot water from the tap) and let it sit a bit till it cools down, then I shake it up and boom, liquid hand soap. Just have to shake it again every once in a while, but it suds, and washes like soap should, I just try not to either add too much water, making it too liquid, or too much soap, making it chunky.
Aw that pretty bar of soap that was very pretty it would've invited me to use it..
It would be even better if you got a container with a little spout (like Morton's kosher salt) so that people can just pour it out. Then no one will have to touch the soap!!
In all my 56 years, I've never heard anyone being grossed out by a bar of soap. Some of her ideas are silly.
Yess guys soap is self cleaning but the thing is some people don't have enough basic sense to wash your hands first with water and then use soap, so i think this tips is great for public space bathroom sink
Does soap get dirty? Yes if you just rub it with some dirty hands then leave it there wet. Dust in air can stick on it too. It doesn't stay dirty if you just run it under water then maybe leave it on the soap tray with a bit of angle so water can drain away quick, it dries and stays clean🫧 I put a lil popsicle stick under one side the soap tray so the water drains away like that
I'm trying to find a refill for my kitchen soap (method brand, aluminum gel soap, they literally don't make gel soap anymore just foam in completely plastic bottles 😭)
and it just made me sick checking walmart! There was NOTHING! the meyers is my favorite option, if i can find s deal on it. WHYYY can't we use aluminum more?????
I use locally made goat milk bar soap, in the bathroom. Just got some new yesterday! Like to get some from different shops everytime, different scents etc. But I'm pretty upset about this soap refill dilemma!
Ooh I absolutely need to try this!!
I have some soap bars that I love!!!! But I don’t use them because they get all wet and gross and they dry with a cadet on them and it’s just gross
