Bars of soap are inexpensive when compared to liquid hand soaps and a bar soap dispenser is often more easily refilled than liquid soap dispensers.
However, bar soap can leave soap scum residues behind which are undesireable when cleanliness is the intended end and soap is the purposeful means.
To
resolve this soapy irony a bar to liquid soap dispenser converts a bar of soap into liquid soap by blending the bar of soap with those substances found in liquid soap that are not mutually exclusive to both bar and liquid soap.

As it happens, i've baked this but haven't considered it important enough to mention. We're self-sufficient in soap and the bars i make gradually liquefy. I keep them in dishes [Grayure] makes and scoop them out when they soften. |
|
| |
what do you use to soften them ? I stick soapbar stubs in a bottle of water but they don't seem to liquefy much. |
|
| |
I dropped one into a near empty and diluted bottle of hand sanitizer and everything is OK. |
|
| |
I think the soap bought in shops must have other ingredients. What i make is sodium oleate, laurate etc., plus some of the original vegetable oil and all of the glycerin. I imagine commercial soap has sodium silicate, SLS and something waxy to harden it, and in fact lots of people do prefer harder soap. Ours is very similar to savon de Marseille but the laurate soap i made once is much more like the bars on sale in Boots or whatever. |

<concise but ultimately futile explanation of the physical chemistry of ionic surfactants, the differences in physical chemistry between potassium- and sodium-based soaps, a comparison of soaps with aromatic and aliphatic detergents, and the effects of gelling agents and viscosity modifiers, incuding a sequence of relevant links> |

[marked-for-deletion], widely known to be possible, but unworkable in practice. |

Exactly. The protoid deltonic ganglianoids cross linked with their opposite ph nucleopoodles would cannotonize non-ionironic sulfumocule icons. |

More time consuming and expensive research may need to be done, but with a big enough funding grant I could probably figure out what, if anything, those words mean. |
|
| |
We presume that the aforementioned "research" may need to be conducted in, for example, a large number of five-star hotels in a variety of tropical and sub-tropical resort locations, over a range of ambient temperatures and variant seasonal conditions, and with the assistance of numerous young, female "research associates" who will be involved in the "evaluation" of the various cleansing products in a number of indoor and outdoor environments, involving both fresh and salt water ? |
|
| |
If so, your funding is assured, providing we get the marketing rights on the video. |
|
| |
"...a large number of five-star hotels" |
|
| |
Unless any six star hotels are available. |
|
| |
Presumably you're aware of the common practice of shoving a load of bits of soap in a jar and pouring water on it, then leaving it for a while? |
|
| |
Sounds like voodoo. I wouldn't mess with it. Plus don't chemicals cause you to grow a second head and stuff? |
|

I took advanced chemistry in college so I know about these things. And when I say "I took advanced chemistry" I mean I saw the movie "The Toxic Avenger" and when I say "in college" I mean "at a drive in movie" (see link) |

Did you pay to get in ? if so, that's technically a Ph.D ... |
|
| |
That first link is useful if I decide to mass produce liquid soap and I need a reliable worker to stir the vat. |
|
| |
//Did you pay to get in?// |
|
| |
I did, but I might have hid my date in the trunk to save a couple of bucks. |
|
| |
Hope I remembered to let her out. Oh well, too late now. |
|
| |
There's also the boiling and mashing conkers option. |
