The smell of the Irish Spring soap repels them because they do not like its smell on the plants. Do this and you will surely find your garden free of these unwanted guests in no time.

And speaking of unwanted guests, roaming deers are also a worry for people who live near forests.

In this situation, the Irish Spring soap still proves to be quite useful. Grab a bar of soap and drill a hole in its middle part. Get a cord and put it through the soap bar.

Hang the soap bar near your home’s fence so deers won’t even think of getting near your plants or property again.

Apart from these very useful hacks, this versatile soap can also help you in many more ways.

Basements can have a very musty smell because they are underground. This smell can worsen if you don’t keep the basement clean all the time, and of course, without a deodorizer.

Rodents like mice can also start living in your basement if you don’t do something about it.

It’s a good thing that the Irish Spring soap is here to save the day.

All you have to do is to get more shavings of the soap and place it in corners, windowsills, and any nook and cranny in your basement.

Mice and other bugs would surely go out of their way to avoid the scent of the Irish Spring soap. And you, on the other hand, can enjoy a mouse-free basement.

Now, here’s another hack made for car owners.

Irish Spring soap has a unique and strong scent that keeps the place fresh and free of bad odors. If this soap can do wonders to your home, it can also do incredible improvements in your car’s scent.

Just cut some chunks of the Irish Spring soap and place them in a dish that you can put inside your car. You will eventually find it refreshing even when the air conditioner is turned off.

Aside from the amazing smell, mice and other rodents will definitely leave your vehicle alone because they detest the smell of this soap.
