What is polishing? Is that something you can do to soap? If so, how? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except that instead of a slightly damp cloth, I'll use a cotton ball moistened with just a bit of rubbing alcohol (just enough to get the dust off, etc., not enough to wet/soak into the bar). It polishes it to a gorgeous shine! I agree that it's worth the extra effort. I've been lurking here a couple of weeks and I'm thrilled to have found this list! I'll be fairly quiet, running a biz, having 2 sons under 5, and being pregnant don't leave me a lot of posting time LOL -- but I read everything. I'll pop in now and then when I have something to say! ;o) Cheryl Moondance Naturals Soaps for the Spirit ~ Luxuries for the Soul http://www.MoondanceNaturals.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck - I feel so " professional " now knowing that's what the bigs guys do too!! Now - the next time hubby asks why in the world am I wiping off soap - I'll just show him this message, and he won't think am that nuts after all!
