Soap Scum
by C S
(OKC)
Hello. Well, I've made my first several batches of soap and noticed after using them they leave a film around the bathtub and sink area unlike the commercial soaps. Can I add anything to the soap to make this a more pleasant soap that doesn't leave bad things behind? Thanks.
Answer:
I don't know of anything that can be added to the soap to stop soap scum from occurring.
Soap lifts oils and dead skin cells from your body and they tend to settle onto the tub/sink surface. If you give the sink/tub a quick swipe with a wash cloth after each use it helps.
