5. Watch Your Water
What makes handmade soaps to run out fast is long contact with water. It’s necessary to keep
the natural soap dry as often as possible. When using the soap in the shower, try to move the
soap dish from where the water is dropping. Move it to the opposite side. If you learn to do this
often, you’ll definitely improve the life of your handmade soap.
6. Take Time Before Cleaning the Soap-Making Equipment
It’s necessary that you wait for three or more days before cleaning the soap-making equipment.
If you do right away after making soap, you are likely to get your hand messed up with lye.
Lye may interfere with the production of the new batch. You need to give your equipment time
to cool down so as to allow the grease plus the lye to change into soap. Then, you can wash the
deposit using hot water. It’s easier that way than doing it routinely after every soap production.
