A bar of soap is so much more than what we give it credit for. Sure, it keeps our bodies clean and smelling fresh — but most of us aren’t using soap to its full potential. We’ve discovered some awesome, brilliant soap hacks that are going to simplify your life.
These 7 incredible soap hacks are so awesome; you’re going to wonder how you functioned without them!
Who knew a bar of soap could be so handy?
1. Keep your glasses from fogging
To prevent your glasses from fogging up, just rub a bar of soap on your lenses. Buff out the soap with a soft cloth, like microfiber, and you’ll be fog-free.
2. Homemade shower and bath gel
Use a cheese grater to grate up a bar of soap; once enough shavings have been gathered, add them to a saucepan. Add water to the pot until soap scrapings have been melted thoroughly. Add the mixture to a pump bottle for a cheap, homemade shower gel. The mixture will heat up in the shower for easy dispensing.
3. Homemade cleaning bombs
In a bowl, mix baking soda, citric acid, and a bit of liquid soap. Stir together with a whisk until it becomes a moist, crumbly mixture. Mold the mixture into an ice cube tray and freeze. Once frozen, drop a “cleaning bomb” into the toilet and watch it do its magic!
4. Volumize your eyebrows
Rub an eyebrow or clean eyelash brush over a bar of soap. Use the soapy wand to instantly fluff up and volumize your eyebrows for a thick, groomed look.
5. Keep your closet smelling fresh
Slice up a bar of soap into thin pieces, then place them into small, breathable satchels from a craft store. Put the little bags inside shoes, in between shelves, and any other place in your closet that is prone to stinky smells. It will keep your closet smelling fresh for weeks.
6. Prevent your bathroom mirror from fogging
Hopping out of the shower to a foggy mirror can be annoying, especially if you need to use it to get ready afterward. Much like preventing your glasses from fogging, use the same technique for your bathroom mirror. Just rub a bar of soap on the mirror, then buff away with a soft cloth. No more fog!
7. Fill nail holes in your wall
Easily disguise holes in the wall left from nails by taking a white bar of soap and scrubbing it over the hole. Pieces of the soap will fill the hole, and you can wipe away excess, so it’s even with your wall. Maybe not a permanent fix, but it’s a temporary facelift.
Amazing, right? Soap is so affordable and available just about everywhere — now you’ll be able to use it for so much more! The entire tutorial is below.
