How can I make my shower floor tiles scum / soap residue resistant? I just bought brand new tiles, and made a mistake of choosing a dark brownish/redish/orangeish tile for my shower floor. it looks awesome, except after anyone takes a shower, it dries up with whitish residue mostly around the sides. What can I do (besides cleaning it after every shower) to make the tile resistant to the white stuff?
Is there a way to calculate how much soap a specific recipe will make if that information isnt provided with the recipe. Before I make the soap I would like to know if I need to modify the recipe to fill my mold and to also make sure I will have the amount of soap that is desired. This would also be helpful to know how to do if I am making my own recipe.
I work with the Aged People in my community and have a Client who has been saving the small pieces of soap that are left over when the soap bar has been used for a while. He literally has a bucket full of it! He wants to find out how to combine all the pieces together to make larger bars. If anyone can help with simple directions I (and he…) would be very grateful.
Many sites abut soap making emphasized the need to purchase a soap base. But is it possible as well to melt down regular store bought bars of soap such as Irish Springs to mold a more interesting soap? I could grate it first to make soap chips and then melt it using a double boiler method. Could this work?
