How to Make Soap Bars Last Longer

How to Make Soap Bars Last Longer

Here are some simple tips to help you preserve your soap bar and get the most out of each one:

🧺 Keep It Dry Between Uses

Water is your soap’s frenemy. Use a draining soap dish or hang your bar to dry in a soap pouch after each use. No soggy puddles!

✂️ Cut Your Bar in Half

Slice full-size soap bars in half. Smaller pieces are easier to handle and last longer because you're only exposing part of the soap to moisture.

🚿 Avoid Direct Shower Streams

Store your soap on a ledge or rack where it won’t get hit directly by water. Constant rinsing wears it down faster.

🧴 Use a Soap Saver Bag

These little bags not only help dry your soap faster but also double as gentle exfoliators. Plus, you can use every last sliver!

🔁 Rotate Your Soaps

Got a collection? Use different bars on different days. It gives each bar a chance to dry out fully and last longer.

✨ Treat your soap with a little TLC and it’ll treat you right back! Got questions or suggestions to add to our tip list? Send us an email at birdofparadisesoap@gmail.com!
