Easy Peasy Tip: Don’t waste the Soap!
By tinychoices | March 6, 2010
Occasionally many of us travel for business or for pleasure, and we may find ourselves staying at a hotel or motel. Now, you’ve probably noticed that there are many complimentary little packages of soaps and shampoos and shower caps and drinking cups – all tiny, cute, handy, and also disposable!
If you’ve got favorite toiletries, take them with you and don’t use the small size that are provided. If you do use them (for example, the soap) only open what you need, and take it home with you! You can use the travel sized soaps as bar soap in your bathroom or by the kitchen sink, or you can collect it and use it to make your own liquid soap from lots of soap ends.
If you’re neat and set aside all the complimentary toiletries that you’re not planning to use, the housekeeping staff at the hotel or motel may be able to reuse them in another room. Nothing taken, nothing wasted!
Do you travel lots? When you do, what is your policy on soaps and shampoos?

i usually bring them all home and use them up eventually … i always thought that the housekeeping replaced everything regardless … guess i could ask next time. ;)
Does anyone know what happens to all those leftover soaps? We took one home last time. It was a little sizable for a hotel soap but it lasted me and my partner two weeks! That’s a lot of wasted soap if it went in the trash.
A lot of people bring them back and give them to shelters so that people can have nice new fresh suuplies for the time they are there. That works for any travel size supplies or cosmetics: toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, soap. That way they are not only “not wasted” but somewher where they are doing some good, as well! Thanks for your writings. I am enjoying your blog and your thoughts.
