How to Make Natural Soap Balls with Just 2 Ingredients
To prepare this DIY natural soap, you’ll need:
-
A bar of yellow soap – soft and easy to cut, known in Italy as Alga soap. It’s made with glycerin and coconut oil, fully biodegradable, and suitable for handwashing.
-
Talcum powder – to keep the soap pieces from sticking together.
Instructions:
-
Cut the yellow soap into small squares using a knife. It’s soft, so this step is easy.
-
Roll the pieces into balls with your hands. You can make them in different sizes depending on how you plan to use them.
-
Place the balls in a plastic container and sprinkle with talcum powder to prevent them from sticking together.
Your 2-ingredient soap is now ready to use!
How to Use the Soap Balls
1. In the Washing Machine
Place one soap ball directly into the drum along with your laundry. Use more or less depending on the load size and how dirty the clothes are. These are also great for pre-treating stains by hand before washing.
2. For Toilet Limescale
Take a dry soap ball and press it onto the inside of the toilet bowl — ideally when the bowl is relatively dry so it sticks. Each time you flush, a bit of soap will dissolve, helping to gradually clean limescale buildup.
3. To Clean Steel Sinks
Use the soap with a damp, non-abrasive sponge to clean and shine steel surfaces like sinks or countertops. After scrubbing, wipe clean with a microfiber cloth, then dry. You’ll get a natural, chemical-free shine.
4. On Wooden Cutting Boards
Because this soap is completely natural and chemical-free, it’s also safe for use on wooden chopping boards, helping to clean without soaking harmful substances into the wood’s porous surf
Conclusion
This simple 2-ingredient soap is not only effective and versatile, but it also helps you save money while reducing your environmental footprint. Try it once, and it might just become part of your daily routine!
