Almost everyone has a bar of soap in their homes, but only a few know that soap can do a lot more than cleaning.
This article will explore some convenient soap hacks, from storing tips to alternative uses that can be given to this product. So, here are eight of the best soap life hacks that come to show how essential a bar of soap can be!
1. Turn your bar of soap into a magnet
Like we have already stated, a bar of soap can be quite convenient for a lot of things, but it’s also slippery produce that can be hard to store.
If you don’t want your soap to slip, fall or end up on your wet bathroom floor, there is a simple thing you can do: turn your regular soap into a magnetic one. Take a bottle cap and cut a hole in your soap the same size.
Then, insert the bottle cap in the hole and stick a magnet in it. This way, you can use the magnetism to keep your bar of soap in place as you can stick it to your shower tap, for example. Easy and practical, right?
2. Clean every piece of broken glass and prevent cuts
This is probably not the cleaning hack you expected when thinking about cleaning with soap, but it’s pretty easy and quite effective. Breaking glass can be quite annoying as you might end up with fragments so tiny that they might be invisible to the naked eye.
However, no matter how small they are, there is a risk of injury if they stay on the floor. In that case, bars of soap are to the rescue!
You can pick up the shards by passing over the area using a slippery bar of soap. Be careful while doing so and take it slowly – your main purpose is to make sure that you pick every small glass piece.
3. Silence your squeaky door
Everyone who has had to deal with a squeaky door knows just how annoying it can be. But, once again, we are here to help you by providing you with the best soap hacks, and we have a simple solution. Rub the hinges on your door using a bar of soap and then proceed to open and close your noisy door to make sure that the soap reaches the whole mechanism.
4. Take care of your plants
Who doesn’t enjoy having lush green plants decorating every room of their house? The answer is “probably no one,” but there are some things that might keep people from decorating with plants, and the possibility of pests invading their home is very likely at the top of the list.
Soap can once again be a total lifesaver, as it can work as a pest repellent. Choose a soap made from organic oils and fair-trade ingredients to make sure you don’t cause any damage to your plants and follow this simple recipe to create a strong and eco-friendly natural repellent.
