How to use bar soap

The article “How to use bar soap” goes through how to use and store bar soap correctly. The article also considers if bar soaps are hygienic.

How to use bar soap

Bar soap can be used to wash both hands and body. You should pay special attention to a few things when using bar soap.

Wet your hands and take the soap to your hands. Rub the soap into your hands so that it starts to lather. Wash your hands or body as usual. Make sure to use enough soap.

If you want to give yourself a little massage in addition to washing, you can use a wash glove or brush.

Rinse the soap from your hands and body, and dry with a towel. Rinse the foam off the soap so it is clean and place it on a wooden surface or in a soap dish with holes to dry.

Apply hand or body cream if you want to.

How to store your bar soap

Bar soap should not be stored in the shower or other humid places. Soap cannot dry properly in a humid place, and it can cause the soap to run out faster. Humidity also helps bacteria to grow.

It is important is that the soap dries completely between uses.

The best place to store a piece of soap is a wooden tray or a wooden soap dish/box with holes underneath for the water to drain out. Plastic, ceramic, and other materials are not as hygienic, especially if water can not drain out of the soapbox.

Soap bags are also a convenient and hygienic way to store bar soap. However, keep in mind that soap shouldn’t be stored in the shower, even in a bag.

Pay attention to the material of the soap bag. For example, flax, hemp, and bamboo are antibacterial and breathable materials. Cotton is not antibacterial, so it’s worth thinking about what material the soap bag is made of.

High-quality bar soaps last a long time when used correctly. Generally, bar soaps last 12 months after their first use before they expire.

Soap storage:

• Store the soap in a dry place, the shower is not the best place.
• It is a good idea to store the piece of soap on a wooden surface, or in a soap box or a soap bag.
• Allow the soap to dry between uses.

Are bar soaps hygienic?

Bar soaps are just as hygienic as liquid soap when it comes to home use. In public spaces, bar soaps are not as practical, nor are they as hygienic.

This is because wet bar soap can contain a lot of bacteria. So again, make sure that the soap dries between uses. You can also rinse the soap before and after use.

A soapbox is convenient at home and when travelling.

My experiences with Kaurilan Sauna bar soaps

I first tried Kaurilan Sauna’s Salt Soap Rose bar soap and I fell in love.

I am used to using liquid soaps, but this product worked really well. The soap was easy and quick to use and left a pleasant rose scent on my hands.

The soaps in the Kaurilan Sauna product range do not leave your hands feeling so funny or greasy as some soaps do. I think it’s because of the oils and wild herbs that they use in the soaps.

The soaps in the Kaurilan Sauna product family are really high quality. You cannot be compared to ordinary commercial soaps!

How to use a bar soap:

• Rub the soap on wet hands and rub your hands together so it starts to lather.
• You can create foam on your hands first or lather the skin directly.
• If you use a washing glove or sponge to wash your body, remember to rub it lightly on the skin.
• Finally, rinse the product off the skin with plenty of water.
• Rinse with soap after use.
• Store the soap on a wooden tray or in a soapbox.
• Allow the soap to dry between uses.
