How to Prevent Bar Soap from Getting Slimy

Is your bar soap living in muck? Let it languish no longer!

By the way, bar soap is more eco-friendly, affordable, long-lasting, and convenient than liquid soaps. This article goes into great depth on the topic (and is well-supported by a real scientific peer-reviewed publication):

Hi Saki this is a awesome method I have been trying to learn how to make my soaps last.. my biggest concern is when I’m in the shower I run through soaps like crazy.. can you tell me or make a video on the proper way to make the soap bars last in the shower.. tell me your best option on this while in the shower do you A wet your soap bar first then lather it on your wet washcloth.. Or B just wet your washcloth first then add the bar soap while it’s dry?

I been using one hand but still had some messy soap, , using the dry hand to clean the soap is the key! Thanks, Rock on!

thank you so much for this video, I've recently discovered that I'm allergic to some of the preservatives in liquid soap so now I have to use bar soap after an entire life of only using liquid soap, and I was gettting so irritated that the bar got all wet and slimy but this way works perfectly.

Great! Also that soap raiser with the tiny dots means the soap surface isn’t in contact with wide stripes which means wet wide stripes underneath when sitting there. I bought that one on Amazon for 99p

this was exactly what I needed, I've always thought that slimy soap bars seemed like it would be very off-putting for visitors, glad I finally found a solution 🙂

[texaslonestar]

Cool, I'm using the magnet soap holder which works somewhat but it can be better.

God bless.

Hi Saki, just watched several of your vids and I want you to know that I love your character and sense of humor! Also the matter of fact-ness and bubbly-ness present in many of your videos. I believe in you, please go do whatever you want and do it big! Randomly found your channel looking up where in a dishwasher rinse aid goes hah.

What if you want to wash your body with the bar soap? Do you just dry it with a towel afterwards or what do you do?

[saucepackets]

i love this video and your personality!

I have expensive soap and a very moldy apartment with no exhaust vents in the bathroom. I live across the street to the coast and all my soaps die so fast. Idk thank you, it's just getting everyone else in the house to do it too that is hard

This the video your science teacher puts on before doing an experiment while they nap in the back of the class

Long time ago my soap bar used to last 3 to over 4 weeks although I use it daily 3 to 4 times a day. Today, the soap bar shrinks to very tiny piece of soap bar after few days only from extracting it from new box of soap bar (4 to 5 days only) although I am using it the same way I did before. I wonder why now a days my soap bar (same to the bars I bought before) last few days only when it lasted over a month, in the last years...! It look like I have a JENNY in my basement who is stealing my handwashing soap bar ...! I have been examining this strange phenomenon for a while and the same thing keep happening again and again. Any advice ?

I thought you rinced off the bar. After every wash?
