Time to take a POLL!

How many bars and/or bottles of homemade soap/scrub/shampoo/conditioner/etc do you have in your bath/shower right now?

Bonus points if you include dish, general cleaning & laundry soap counts.

LOL, my roommate just counted them. She says I have 15 bars of homemade soap (I don't know if that includes the store bought one in my cabinet), 2 shower gels, 5 shampoos, 6 conditioners, 2 face washes and one solid shampoo bar. Not all in the shower, it's on my shelf too. Only two cleaning soaps, homemade dawn/vinegar and a toilet bowl cleaner, and a glass cleaner.

I like soap. :angel:

Well, I just started so I have an excuse to only have a couple... I have two MPs in the bathtub and a laundry soap that almost makes me want to do laundry ;-) I am working on it ;-)

 

[Smee]

I almost wanted to do laundry once, but two-three-or-so glasses of wine got me past that.

I have 3 bars of homemade soap in the shower. There is one next to the bathroom sink. Next to the kitchen sink is a pretty dessert glass that is completely overflowing with end cuts and the like. And a bar of utility soap that I had originally made to shred for laundry soap, but I ran out of dish soap and think it seems foolish to buy some when I have soap everywhere in the house!

with 5 adults in the house I have LOTS of commercially made product in the house. Soon that will change....*rubs hands together and laughs evilly*

2 bars of homemade CP in each shower, 1 by each bathroom sink, and 1 by the kitchen sink. Cleaners are dawn and vinegar with a few drops of orange oil. I also have a jar of homemade soft scrub (coconut oil and baking soda).

 

[Badger]

Okay, now I need to learn how to make dishsoap too... (and liquid soap for the bathroom sink).

Homemade soft scrub? Hmmmmm....does it work reasonably well?
Add that one to the To-Do Bucket List and thanks cuz I'm stealing your secret!

 

[CaliChan]

Oh god.... I have 6 different kinds in the shower alone. 4 by the sink in the bathroom. 3 by the kitchen sink. And 2 kinds of liquid dish/hand soap by the kitchen sink and 2 in the laundry room one grated up in the laundry soap and one for spot treatment.. so 17 different kinds of soap are being used right now xD

 

[ruby61]

I have 4 in the shower currently, one by the sink and lots of lip butters in the bathroom. I have not done liquid soaps, laundry but plan to once I slow down on the soap for farm market season.

 

[VanessaP]

2 at the bathroom sink, 4 in the bathroom cabinet, 5 in the shower itself and 3 at the kitchen sink LOL I also have about 2 pounds of LS paste I'm going to experiment with diluting tomorrow

 

[RocknRoll]

only counting my homemade stuff.... hmmm let's see..

7 different bars of soap in the shower, 6 different bars of soap by the kitchen sink (slivers and end pieces), 4 end pieces of soap by the bathroom sink and 3 kinds of homemade deodorant in the cabinet and a few lotion/massage bars i made sitting next to the couch :shock:

4 on the side of the bathtub, 4 on the sink. One is just awful. I'm only using it only because it had rice bran oil in it and I wanted to see how much I liked it. But the scent is terrible from the morph. I might as well throw it away. Sometimes that's the best outcome for a soap. Just plunk it in the trash and you're free.

Up to 7 bars of homemade soap in the shower on one of those racks that you suspend from the showerhead so they all dry after use. Unfortunately I have 3 bottles of different commercial shampoo and 2 bottles commercial conditioner and a body wash for acne (former Avon rep...then I made my own! Sending a good donation of unopened body washes and hair care products to our annual Goodwill fashion auction). Then 2 different soaps at the kitchen sink, and both bathrooms...so theres another 6...then my kitchen and bathrooms get cleaned with vinegar with orange peels steeped in it with a couple drops of Dr. Bonners castile soap (haven't made my own yet!). Umm then I recently started polishing furniture with pomace oil! Laundry soap as well...I think thats it...oh wait, there's a bar at my basement utility sink that I was the dogs with too!

Wow, I have not bought any type of commercial soap for a couple of years.

The kitchen has PET bottles (with dispenser caps) with liquid dish soap. They get replenished from the gallon dish soap container (with dispenser) that is next to other gallon liquid laundry soap dispenser (laundry has more CO and it is thinner, I like thicker for dishes, DH likes thinner for laundry). The outside sink has a bottle with our dish soap too of course. 1/2 bathroom has a shelf with a few of the holiday swap soap that are still to be used, a bar of lavender sea salt and a bar of almost gone hand scrubber soap on the sink. Full bathroom has 4 bars in the shower and a bunch in a basket display waiting to be used. There is a bottle of my bath grade lavender liquid bastille next to a larger bottle with apple cider vinegar. I was using the liquid bastille until I tried the Genny shampoo bar.

We also make our tooth paste (and tooth soap), deodorant, and all lotions and massage oil. We even make our own personal lubricant. However, DH still uses a commercial deodorant, mine is underpowered for him, but I like it and use it myself.

Yesterday I tossed the last empty bottle of commercial hair conditioner. It will be replaced with a pre-shampoo treatment that I am working on.

HA! See that, Badger??? I'm NOT a weirdo! Well, at least not about using tooth soap anyway.


Hey! Wait a minute Green Soap...back up here...did you say your DH does
the laundry?? Way cool! How did you swing that?

 

[houseofwool]

I got stuck on personal lubricant...

 

[melstan775]

How do you make toothpaste, that's what I want to know.

I skipped right over that one for personal reasons :mrgreen:
