Handy Bar Soap Hacks to Make Life Around the House Easier

16. Fix a Stuck Zipper

A stuck zipper is annoying, but rubbing a bar of soap over the zipper teeth to lubricate them will help it to move.

17. Create a Non-Stick Pan

For ceramic tile in the kitchen, rub a thin layer of soap over your pans before using them to form an anti-stick layer. Which helps to avoid food sticking and makes for easier clean up.

18. Make an Ice Pack

Combine soap and water, place in a Ziploc bag, and freeze for an easy homemade ice pack. It saves money by treating small injuries.

19. Unclog a Toilet

Or if a plunger is not going to be at hand, you would pour liquid soap, which will be placed afterward in the toilet, and wait around 20 minutes for it to act. Continue with a bucket of hot water to be able to unclog.

20. Repel Chipmunks from Your Garden

Hanging bars of soap (that can be put in a garage or a shed as well) or placing pieces around the garden is a method of how to keep chipmunks away from the garden. It will deter them from the smell.
