Sounds a bit gross :D

Where was that soap :D


**note:
Apparently this is done by taking all the left over soaps and making whole soaps again.

What for?

Most hotels have tiny 1 use soaps anyway (I usually pack a soap for each hotel if I travel so I don't have to try and wash with the tiny things they supply).

Well, I would assume that the recycling process would involve some kind of heat and melting process that would pretty much sterilize it anyway?

melts at a rather low temp or it foams and turns into a messy sludge.

They should just leave it in the soap. Natural exfoliater. :D

Lol

Next time you stay at a hotel and find a pube on the soap, take I few moments to wonder if really is yours....

I regularly scrub my underarms and gonads properly with hotel soap, and it ends up a hairy mess afterward. Good luck to you chaps using that recycled soap :D

The only hotel soap recycling programmes I've heard of are by organisations such as the Global Soap Project which collects partially used bars of soap, sanitises them, reforms them, tests them for pathogens and ships the final product to over thirty countries where the lack of basic hygiene is a major problem.
