Homemade soap from old soap bars | What the hack #20 

Actually this is one of the best soap making videos on RU-vid. Simple and to the point, no unnecessary jibber jabber in between. Good job

I have been searching ALL over the internet and looking how to reuse these little slivers of soap, you DO NOT know how releaved I🤣 am

you can tap the mold on the counter a couple times while pouring and after pouring to help get rid of air bubbles. Also if you use muffin trays, it is better to grease them or use wax paper. Sometimes its hard to get the soap out after (from my experience). And yes, too much food coloring may dye skin a bit, but I have heard others say its fine.

💐💐💐💐This is the EASIEST & BEST way to make reformed soap 🧼 bars -THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!!💐💐💐💐

thank you for taking the time to show this, I now have a new project with the bags of soap slivers I need to recycle. Cheers and thank you.

Everyone saying "don't use food coloring" because it will stain your skin, no, it won't stain your skin because of the oil and shower gel, if you choose to make this and don't use oil or the gel than it will most likely stain your skin, great video Miibooth.

Awesome no chit chat straight to it . Best one I’ve seen yet

Best video on how to make soap I've seen. Thank you for posting it.

Great tutorial. I did mine with more pieces and came out with 15 whole bars. Wish I could attach a pic. Didn't use food coloring though.

Thanks! I like the way you experiment along the way in making the soap.

I add oatmeal, which is very good for the skin, especially the face! I leave out the oil and the coloring.

Love this idea! it's really neat! Thank you!

I add some neem juice and also spinach and ponnanganni alternenthera from my garden and use it for herbal soap💕

Nicely done. Many thanks for a great tutorial!

Awesome video!!! Very informative. Thanks!!

Love your Swatch watch my guy! Nice video !

That's cool Wish I knew this 2 years ago For 12th standard project

Don't use food coloring because it will stain your skin.

Thank you for this video. I've been wondering what to do with all my soap bits.

I use a grater to make soap shavings instead of cutting them up. It really cuts down on the "soak" time and eliminates a lot of the lumps.

thanks, I have a drawer full of soap to do this with, I was planning on using a short piece of stainless steel tubing about 2" in diameter and my hydraulic press to press them into usable shapes but this may work better

They look beautiful!

Loved the demo

Thanks for the Soap Sludge bar recipe!

So the key is to just add enough water to cover the grated soap

Really good tips!

Thank you. Very helpful.

Thank you for making this. So simple, just need time. Heading to the store now to get rubber muffin trays!

Great video! Thank you so much!!

Useful video, thanks!

Spray it with alcohol after putting it into molds.. This will pop the bubbles later on..

Thanks for the info friend!

Thank you so much for the post-process soap demonstration, I was wary of using food coloring to add to my soap because it would possibly stain the skin, but it appears here that it doesn't stain at all.

I'm genuinely surprised that you were able to make MORE soap out of that little bit of soap. I didn't think it would harden! I'm going to do this!

wow very helpful.....i dont need to use any food coloring but the rest of the steps are pretty simple and do it at home

Thank you for your video. Well done! I liked the way you say "mushy". Very cute. Blessings to you, sir. From Australia.

thanks! I always wondered how to do this

The soap you have melted isn't really soap, it's a mix of detergent bars. That's why it behaves how it does when trying to melt, pour and set. However I think it's a great way of recycling those slivers that we all get fed up with breaking into little pieces and end up binning, so it's great to see a way of reusing those too.

Wow useful hack

Great job 👏

great video! TFS

Thank you so much

Thank you

Let me show you a demo 😂😂 great video!

That is how my ima did it way back in 1950s

Nice!!!

Thanks man , now I know how to save my Neutrogena soap bars I've accumulated minus some of the steps you've showed us

I like to add little chunks of soap into the mixture because it feels good on the skin!

Nice!

Well explained video! Thank you. 👍

awesome!! thanks for this video

For speed I chopped then up bigger and then just used my blender to turn them into the size of grains of rice - now soaking :) EDIT: After soaking for a while it had clumped and turned lumpy, I blended again until smooth and left for further soaking. Then I'll heat. Thanks for this video, I travelled quite a bit and each time I kept the soap(s) I opened from the hotel (since they usually just throw them away). After 10 years they take up a large tub, I've split them into three batches (three different scents and colours).

good hack

Cool I love the video

iI'm thinking if you use an empty travel soap dish as a mold you will get a bar of soap ..

Thank you for a great presentation. The only thing I did not get is the thing you added that sounded like you said 'sharjel'? I'm not sure what you said or what it is. Thanks.

Awesome

Wonder what else will work for soap molds? When the silicone molds are not accessible and if your in a hurry, could u use regular ice trays or put wax paper into muffin pans? Help

interesting and thank you for the video

Good video thanks

I really like this method it's so easy I have lots of leftover soap with a family of 8

I love it

What is the ratio of water to left over soap? And what is the hardness of the soap after doing this?

Thank you great video

Dear how much water should be added new friend I tried making soap but it became much liquid n now using as handwash

Very good and informative - you have given me some great ideas!

Very nice & direct video :-)

Very creative but food dye will dye your skin!!!!! You need soap dye!!!! Quick sprays of alcohol on the mixture as you pour will eliminate air bubbles. I haven't seen adding so much water to the mix but hey it's a learning process. 😬

Thq🤗

i cant get mine to work what compiler is he using and can he upload his configs?

Nice

So.. to make more solid do I use less water?

Can I microwave the soap scarps. If yes then for how much time?

Did anyone see the soap that was left in the bowl😂😂😂😂

Can I skip shower gel or the shower gel is also important Can you plz inform

Hi! I have just experienced a little hardship in melting the recycled soaps but i managed to mix the soap mixture with the ingredients i intended to add but i omitted the oil. I am waiting for the soap to cool down now. :D Hopefully it works!

THANKS ALOT! THE FOOD COLORING DYED MY SKIN FOR WEEKS!!!! (but overall a good guide)

What was the ingredient after the oil i could not make it out and am so ready to try this minus the food coloring

Could you please tell me what the ingredient was you added for foam ?

Can I add Shea butter to this when on stove??

If you use white soap leftover its ok, with coloring, but for none white soaps it would become a darker color.

Has anyone used the food processor to chop the soap first?

Why don't you wet the soap sliver then stick to new bar of soap .. easy .. no need to do all those stuffs

Do I need to apply oil on the mould surface of silicon or not needed?

I'm wondering if it works out any cheaper. You have to buy all the other ingredients, and have it on the electric for 20 minutes, keep a pan and moulds specially for this. With all the expense and time involved, you may be better off just buying value priced soap.

Doubt I'll get any responses, but I need to know what to do if my 'soap soup' is too liquidy. I guess I had too much water in the mixture. For next time. I'm guessing this batch is screwed😞

I just wanted to make sure that the food coloring wont stain on hands?

😊

What can use instead if you don't have the mould

Why do you add the Olive Oil?

That air bubles was actually water. Water evaporate and goes away then create air bubles just like that when the mixture dries. Just like the concrete. Soap mixture shouldn't have any water.

What gel is that?

Definitely people who are here to make soaps will look at a Nokia being cut video ;)

Instead of going thru all this pain.. the best way is to tightly press the left over small slice of soap to the brand new wet soap. It ll get stuck to it.. and then It 'll get used up with the new soap. This way I have no left over soaps at all.

Can i omit shower gel?

It has been well over 24 hours and my soap has not hardened. It's about the consistency of a stale marshmallow. Any suggestions?

beware! "vegetable oil is Palm Oil! which you also find in most soaps and shampoos... :(

I just wanted to cheat on my soap sculpture.

It's called rebatching. You used way too much water. Next time use a double boiler or crock pot and add only a few teaspoons water.

Yeah, i'm gonna trow my soap scraps away... to much of a mess, I'll just buy cuz it's cheap. Maybe in survival / bushcraft mode! Thx
