Hi reader,
I used to snub my nose at the bars of soap in hotel rooms. I thought they caused my skin to be dry, irritated and even break out.
Turns out I was wrong, and after I naturally healed my acne, I looked at hotel soaps in a whole new light. Specifically, as a way to save money.
Anytime a bar of soap is down to a tiny shred, I add it to a gallon plastic bag I keep in my bathroom closet. When I have enough scraps, I shred the soap scraps to make a few homemade cleaning items:
Shredding soap scraps – originally destined for the trash can – saves me money by reducing waste and using what I already have.
Where does hotel soap fit in?
Well, you pay for those mini bars of soap anytime you stay in a hotel. And sometimes you get two bars in that single bathroom.
Why not take them and add them to your bag of soap scraps? Of course I'm not advocating you raid the maid's cart for all the hotel soap. But the ones in your hotel room? They're all yours, and you can use them to offset the cost of making your own cleaning items at home.
We don't stay in hotels often, but the few bars of soaps we collect have made at least one batch of both laundry detergent and soft scrub. Which means it's one less bar of soap I'm buying out of pocket!
Cheers to making the best use of what you pay for!

PS – Aside from the random hotel bar soap, we exclusively use goat milk soap from Bend Soap Company for our body, face and hair (yes - I even wash my hair with it!). It's by far the best soap we've ever used!
