Peeling Mirai Clinical soap to use as a natural home deodorizer.

Turn Soap into a Home Deodorizer

Do you have unused bar soap sitting around? Don't let it go to waste! With a simple vegetable peeler and some creativity, you can turn that soap into a natural and decorative home deodorizer.

Here’s how:

Step 1: Shave the Soap

Using a vegetable peeler, shave your soap into thin, petal-like pieces. These delicate shavings act as a natural fragrance diffuser and can brighten up any space with their subtle scent.

Step 2: Pack the Shavings

Place the soap shavings into breathable sachets, such as tea bags, mesh pouches, or small fabric wraps. These will keep the shavings neatly contained while allowing the fragrance to flow freely.
