Soap Pouch
Buying liquid soap usually means it comes in plastic bottles. It is possible to buy soap in glass bottles and recycle them. An eco-friendly alternative is a bar of soap. The idea of using a bar of soap is very off-putting for some. It can go soggy and quite yucky. Fear not this is easily remedied. Buy or DIY a soap pouch to put your soap into for the shower or bath ……. crocheted or sewn.
On sites like Folksy or Etsy, you will find handmade pouches (soap sacks or soap savers) for about £3.50 to £4.00 each. They sell all sorts in various colours to suit any bathroom. Buy or DIY; these would make great stocking fillers or a gift in a cracker or as gifts for reach members of the family, each in a different colour. If you DIY, it’s ideal to use up those odds and ends of linen or cotton yarn, preferably organic.
How to use the soap pouch
Place your bar of soap into the pouch and tighten up the cord. Wet the soap and pouch to use in the shower or bath. Then rinse it briefly, and hang it up by the rope enabling it to dry out quickly. The pouch acts as a gentle scrubber and will remove dead skin gently. From time to time, put the soap pouch (without the soap) into the washing machine with your regular wash. After they have seen better days, they will decompose.
