6 Reason to use a Crochet Soap Saver Crochet Bag
1. More and more research is showing that plastic bathroom items are bad for our skin. Dermatologists recommend getting rid of plastics.
2. A crochet soap bag will extend the life of the soap bar.
3. Are you tired of the goop that collects in your soap dish? It’s quite gross because your soap is sitting in a puddle of skin filth and water ew.
4. Extend the life of your soap! Especially if you purchase handmade soaps, you’ll want to get the most out of them. Using less soap or shampoo is good, so in this case, less is more.
5. Exfoliation! As your soap lathers, it will add additional exfoliation for your skin, which is a nice bonus.
6. Not sure what to do with that small amount of soap before trading up to a new bar? Take it out, toss your crochet soap bag into the washing machine, and then pop the old small amount of soap with a new one. They will meld together. Isn’t less waste nice?
