I did cut one of Monday's two soaps last night. The one that riced on me came out as poorly as expected. I was about to chuck it, but then decided I would try rebatching it over the weekend, so it is sitting off to the side waiting to be shredded. I was going to work on my soap dough entry while watching TV, but one of the stepkids had knocked over the tray that I was using and so not only did my soap design end up on the floor, but the million tiny leaves that I had made wound up scattered through the family room, and the unused soap dough was mashed out of the plastic wrap and into the carpeting as if a herd of elephants had come storming through and stopped to dance the cha-cha. Sigh. I'm trying not to be too angry, because I should have taken the tray back to the soap lab instead of leaving it on the coffee table, but still... I'm mad. Now I have to make new soap dough. If anyone has any advice for getting soap dough out of carpeting, I have a stepson who is VERY interested.
Thank you for that tip, amd. The like was for that, not for the soap dough disaster.!
No clue here regarding getting soap dough out of carpet. I would guess, though that once dry enough, scraping with a very dull tool (knife-like tool, but not sharp) that most of it would come up and then vacuuming up the dusty bits. I wouldn't want to get it wet when it has lots of soap dough because that would be very hard to remove, I think.
