Care of your 100% Natural Soap


In the Bath:  There are a number of things you can do to lengthen the life of your natural soap.  The most important is to keep the soap drained of water after each use and away from the spray of water when not being used.   Another good idea is to leave the soap upright to drain instead of lying flat, this helps drain excess water from the soap.  Finally, some soap lovers like to cut the soap into halves, using one while storing the other.

Storage of Soap:  If you would like to store the soap until a later date, it is best to keep it wrapped in a paper bag in a cool dark place away from heat, sunlight and humidity.  Kept this way, the soap can last several months.  Some other fun ways to keep the soap is to put it in a drawer or linen closet as a beautiful way to scent your belongings….

*Colored tissue or printed papers can leach onto the soap, so it is best not to use these.
