Regular bar soap can become a real helper in solving many household problems that any housewife is destined to face.

Stuck zipper

It turns out that soap can fix the situation if the fittings suddenly decide to come apart or jam.

Just run a piece of soap along the zipper and you can unzip it without any effort.

Squeaky doors

If the doors suddenly start to make an unpleasant creaking noise, you should lubricate the hinges with a dry bar of soap.

This product is superior to lard or vegetable oil, which are also sometimes used for similar purposes, because organic fats contain water, which will only speed up the metal corrosion process.

Foggy glasses

A thin layer of soap will help get rid of condensation that appears on the lenses of your glasses – just wipe the lenses with soap on both sides, and then polish the glasses with a soft cloth.

Moths in cabinets

You may have seen your grandmother hide the remaining pieces of soap in the closet. This simple action has two purposes at once.

Firstly, the laundry will smell nice after being next to soap, and secondly, moths will definitely not appear in the closet.
