Save Your Bath Soap

What do you do with those tiny slivers of bath soap? Do you just throw them away?

You can save money by saving those tiny pieces of soap. For example, our laundrywoman asked me to set aside those thin pieces of soap.

I asked her: "What for? They don't smell nice anymore. They don't even bubble as much."

Well, it turns out that when some white shirts have minor stains (such as ballpoint pen marks, or colored blobs), she simply rubs the bath soap on the stain, adds a bit of clorox, and magically makes the ink stain go away.

Imagine that... I never knew "useless" pieces of tiny soap can be used this way.

So the next time you're tempted to throw your soap in the garbage can, don't. Save your soap bits, and also save money.
