Uses for Small Bits of Hand Soap?

I regularly have many bits of soap left over. What can I do with these? It is so very wasteful. I need a method of using the last little bits.

When my soap starts getting too small to use, I get a new bar, then place the smaller piece(s) on it while both are still wet. The pieces may fall apart once or twice, but after a day or so, they'll stay together and form a larger bar of soap.

I've been doing this for years, and it helps me use every bit of soap.

If you work outside in the yard, put the small pieces of soap in one of those net bags that onions, etc, come in and tie it around the outside faucet. You have soap and water handy to clean your hands.

Another way to use the small pieces of soap is to put them in a net bag (like onions, oranges, etc come in) and then tie another bag at each end of the one which contains the soap and you have a good back scrubber next time you take a shower..

I smush all the little pieces into a pump bottle - add lots of water and use in the shower/bath or to wash hands. Keep adding water if it thickens too much and shake when using!

I buy packages of thin nylon scrubbing pads, about 4" x 5" each, from the $1 bin at the grocery or drugstore. I take a new scrubber, fold one end up about one third & sew the side edges with any old leftover thread, making a pocket.

I put the soap scraps in the pocket & tuck the other end of the scrubber into it, creating a soap filled scrubber. I add more soap scraps to it when I have them. When the scrubber is worn out, I make a new one. It's very handy to grab for just about anything that needs a little scrubbing to get clean - just moisten it with water & scrub. I keep it in a plastic caddy with drain slots suction-cupped to the inside of the sink.
