"I
put the pieces into a 'scrubbie'
purchased at the Dollar
Store. When the
scrubbie needs to be
replaced, I simply buy a
new one and start over
again!" ~

"I don't have the instructions for the Soap Buster, but I do have directions for using those slivers of soap to make new soap:
Maybe
your reader will find this
useful." ~ Lisa in NH
"This
is the site for the
soapbuster: http://www.pittstownsoapworks.com/html/products.html
The price is $19.95. I
wouldn't buy one for
$19.95. I say why not
just use a hamburger
press device, or
something like
that." ~ Anita
"I
have a soap saving tip I learned
from the Tightwad Gazette years
ago. When
you get down to just a
sliver of soap, get out the new
bar and lather them both up and
then put them together and let
them dry. They will
eventually blend into one bar of
soap and the sliver will not be
wasted. I don't
know if this will help answer
the question, but I use this
idea all of the time."

"I had a soap
buster gadget a couple of years ago and would like
another. Where can I get one? The instructions are to
take some pieces of soap heat them in the microwave for
about 30-60 seconds and then put the hot soap in the
gadget. Put the cap on the bottom and turn the knob all
the way until you can't turn it anymore. Then wait about
a minute. Then take the new bar out and let it
cool." ~ Laurie
"I don't have a
gadget for soap chips, but this is what I tried once.
Wash about one-half cup of soap chips by shaking them
in water in a small yogurt cup. (You would be amazed
at how dirty they can be.) Soak them overnight in a
small amount of water to cover. Drain off a
little water and then cook them in the microwave until
melted together. Soft soaps like Ivory's green
bar work best for this. Press until firm, let the
chunk dry, and you have a nice round piece of usable
soap!" ~ Anonymous
