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

[@Heartfelt-zv7wh]

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

[@af1023]

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.

[@MiiBooth]

+af1023 You're welcome :)

[@fatimablush2676]

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

[@eh9918]

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.

[@bushyjodes5121]

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

[@scatoutdebutter]

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

[@pharo27]

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

[@MiiBooth]

Glad i could help 😃

[@joycebyrne9175]

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

[@marcusatkinson4881]

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.

[@Jane_Ricciardi]

Nicely done. Many thanks for a great tutorial!

[@haveagreatday2823]

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

[@EHCBunny4real]

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

[@edwardwright7295]

This video made me hungry I want some cupcakes now I know it has nothing to do with this video but still I'm a greedy fat kid inside don't judge me.

[@luckeywithloveandsqualor3249]

Not everyone: some food colours are water-soluble and don't stain on skin or sink.

[@marikak1147]

It will only stain if there is a lot of it. And also, it's diluted, do it won't stain your skin.

[@abbi3717]

I tried this no stains

[@rooodleneee]

oh yeah

They look beautiful!

[@davidwatson7730]

Loved the demo

[@bellawilliams9486]

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.

[@Iamgayathrinagarajan]

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

[@SamitShirsat]

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

[@weeniewawa]

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

[@1gridly]

Thanks for the Soap Sludge bar recipe!

[@bluegirlasmr8725]

Really good tips!

[@stylecollective-qt9um]

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.

[@petrocoetzee3940]

I use a grater to grate my soap and it works well

[@HeatheersVlogs]

Great video! Thank you so much!!

[@lisanix700]

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.

[@lydia1320]

Lisa Nix how long do you soak it for when you grate it?

[@Heartfelt-zv7wh]

@@lydia132012 hrs … or less your own disgression .. 9-18-23

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

[@geraldmartin8195]

Thank you. Very helpful.

[@user-bh4rx8mf8g]

Useful video, thanks!

[@Perspectemony]

thanks! I always wondered how to do this

[@jmdota8292]

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

[@MiiBooth]

Good idea. will try it next time. Thanks :)

[@1RandomMiss]

Yes that works well. The advantage of leaving the air bubbles, causes the soap float in the bath rather then sinking. 👍

[@PaulHarristrinity]

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

[@shonamagouyrksaffold4109]

Paul thank you for your service to this country! God bless you

[@lela2216]

Thanks for the info friend!

[@schellstarr]

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

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

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

[@whitneykaye]

awesome!! thanks for this video

[@MiiBooth]

You're welcome :)

[@mohsinshehzzad3330]

Wow useful hack

[@HalfLatinaJoy86]

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!

[@Irene-gq4jr]

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.

[@_wormlet]

What do you mean? Could you explain please? You mean he melted detergent bars and not soap?

[@pauldilley8974]

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).

[@MiiBooth]

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

[@bigtony4829]

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

[@RiccardoRobinson]

Good video thanks

[@roshannaidoo3792]

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

[@JessicaDuran74]

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. 😬

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

[@luciodelgado]

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

[@rhondawiggins5728]

😊

[@treasurehunteruk9718]

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.

[@lisanix700]

As he stated you don't have to use the dye, scented oil or the shower gel...just the soap and water.

[@natnat5082]

It's fun though

[@angelacarrerarivera]

I would do it, to make cute soaps for my guest bathroom, those are more expensive. Also this looks fun!

[@naltha5205]

You can omit some ingredients, I'm sure you have shower gel and oil, you can use plastic containers for the mould which you must have

[@rozlinabdkarim9233]

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

[@ramtek2702]

I suggest you try that and answer your own question.

[@fatimablush2676]

Because they don't stick to the new bar very well.

[@SusieVKaufman]

Besides... this looks like FUN!

[@debramcelroy1529]

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

[@mariannemiller2874]

Not sure, either. . Can anyone help?

[@ramzyeid1988]

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

[@kberken]

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

[@Yeshua835]

shower gel, but I'm trying my fav shampoo in mine

[@Alpakulinshah]

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.

[@emilyhughes4297]

Yeah also you probably shouldn't be heating up normal soap since this could maybe release toxic chemicals

[@SusieVKaufman]

@@emilyhughes4297 Well, wouldn't those same original bars of soap (the ones you call "normal") be releasing the same toxic chemicals whilst one is, for instance, showering with hot water?

[@sallysmiles6088]

@@emilyhughes4297 that would be the same toxin that people used to use to boil corn in to make hominy to eat, lye. Once the soap turns into soap, the toxic phase has passed.

[@marcoadan1]

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😞

[@sallysmiles6088]

Nope, you can slowly heat it up stirring to let some of the water evaporate, let it cool down and pour it into the molds. letting it sit longer the water is going to evaporate eventually.

[@watashisagashi8194]

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

[@suebrown5865]

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

[@maureenball6733]

I wouldn't. I broke my food processor asking it to chop up some reasonably ordinary food item. Had to throw the machine.

[@DozenD-A-I-S-I-E-S]

Scrape it with a knife or use a grater

[@TheJugendstil]

Yes I did. Works fine

[@alokdand1712]

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

No …

[@tinklingcrystals6489]

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

[@Heartfelt-zv7wh]

Yes

[@KKoKoRR]

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.
