What Do You Do With 'Used Soap'?

Everyone knows what I mean, when that bar of soap gets to be a sliver. You can't hold on to it, and there's not enough surface area to give a good lather. You toss it in the trash because it's useless. I'm not an environmentalist, but it seems like a waste of cash to use 80% of a bar of soap and toss the rest.

    We have a large family so slivers of soap are nothing new. I take the sliver and stick it right to the new bar of soap....make sure they both are wet, best to do it when you know that no one will be using it for a while. Push it on, I mold it a bit to the new bar......works great for me. I never throw soap slivers away.

    Source(s): I saw this on Martha Stewards show years ago.

    Sorry it would never get me into lather like you

    I tend to use more than 80 % of the bar and when its gone it has gone beyond any further use

    I got two ideas from the Who Knew? book. Save them all and then put them inside an old clean sock, tie it shut and put it in the washer to help your regular soap. Put them in a clean sock and tie it under the bath faucet when you run a bath to make bubbles.

    I normally throw them in the shoe cabinet to help keep the smell nice and free from insects. Also drop it in the drswers to keep away silver fly and etc.
