How To Clean Plastic Soap Molds
Cleaning plastic soap molds is very easy. Use warm water and soap. If the molds have been used for soapmaking, simply soak them in warm water for an hour or more. Do not use hot water! Hot water, including dishwasher water, may warp the plastic and render your molds useless. Remember the “doubt” rule. When in doubt, soak it out. Warm water only please!
If properly cared for, plastic soap molds should last for years. Scratches in the plastic don’t affect the molds at all. If your mold should crack or split, don’t despair. You should be able to seal the outside of the mold using common materials found around the house. We’ve seen molds taped together with Duct Tape and the results were astounding! Clear tape such as the type used for sealing boxes works great. Trial and error will tell you which type of tape works best. If the crack isn’t too large, try using Super Glue or another type of liquid adhesive.
