I explain how to make your own homemade soap sheets for travel. Watch:
- water-soluble paper
- liquid soap
- scissors
- small metal boxes
- clean hob or tray
- brush
1. Place the water-soluble sheet on the tray.
2. Pour next to it the liquid soap you want to soak it in.
3. Spread the soap on the sheet with the brush. Remember to leave a soap-free strip of about two centimeters at the end. It is on this strip that you can put the clothespins.
4. Turn the paper over to soak the other side.
5. Lay the leaves out to dry.
6. Once dry, cut the leaves according to the size of your box.
7. Put a label on the box to know what's inside.
And there you have it, you have made your DIY soap sheets :-)
Easy, fast and efficient, right?
Now you know how to make soap sheets yourself.
It is very economical. But above all, this recipe is super practical!
No need to go to a drugstore, Nature et Découvertes, Gifi, Sephora or Decathlon to buy it.
Your homemade soap sheets are just as effective as those from Yves Rocher or Savonyl.
When hiking, camping, trekking, traveling, it's super practical for perfect hygiene anywhere.
Especially since it doesn't take up space in your backpack or suitcase.
In short... essential for traveling light!
You can even put some in your purse or in your pants pocket.
It allows you to wash your hands anywhere.
Not to mention that this solid sheet soap is a great way to go zero waste.
You can make hand soap sheets, body wash, shampoo, and even dish soap!
It is preferable to use natural soaps such as Marseille soap, liquid black soap, Aleppo soap...
It's always better if it's palm oil free!
Personally, I used this soap recommended by 60 Million Consumers.
In my opinion, this is a very good alternative.
To be able to spread the soap well on the sheet, it is worth choosing a gel soap quite flexible but a little thick .
I insist on this point.
Because if you use soaps that are too liquid, the sheet tends to be absorbed immediately.
You also have to go very fast when you spread the soap on the sheet. Otherwise, the sheet will quickly spoil.
Think about it!
In my experience, it is not essential to cover both sides of the sheet with soap.
One side may be enough if you use enough soap.
For the container, you can recycle a metal or plastic box:box of Tic-Tac, candy, lip balm...
Give your leaf plenty of time to dry. This makes it easier to cut your soap sheets.
Just add water and it lathers like soap .
It is then used as a normal soap or shower gel.
The sheet soap washes as well as a classic soap. It is also antibacterial, antiseptic.
Only the format changes!
