We keep one just for soaps and such to help prevent having soapy cheese.

Mix the grated soap into warm water to make the bar soap into a liquid soap. This is easier to spread, use for scrubbing, and even dilute more and make into a sprayable liquid for quick and easy cleaning. A single bar can make many bottles of all-purpose spray cleaner.

Other Uses for Fels Naptha Soap

Many people do not realize that you can use Fels Naptha for other things than just cleaning your house. Here are some more tips for using Fels Naptha.

Using Fels Naptha to treat poison ivy

While I do not recommend that you use Fels Naptha directly on your skin on a regular basis because it can be very drying you can use Fels Naptha to help remove the oils from poison ivy, poison oak, and sumac that leave behind a nasty itchy rash that only spreads if the oil is not completely removed.

Use Fels Naptha Soap for acne

While Fels Naptha can be very drying and irritating to the skin it is great for clearing away acne because it dries it out. A great way to do this is to make a thick paste of Fels Naptha, water, and baking soda to dab with a Q-tip onto your acne spots. While some will recommend washing your whole face with Fels Naptha this can dry out your skin and accelerate signs of aging.
