Is there anything I can do? If the soap bar is constantly wet or soaked in water, it will be used up quickly. We suggest using a [Soap Dish](https://earthley.com/product/wooden-soap-dish/) to help water drain away from it after you are done using it. The drier it stays between uses, the longer it lasts. ### What are soap scraps? Our 8 oz soap scraps are a weighted 8 ounces with a combination of end pieces, slightly deformed (may have cracks or holes), too thinly sliced pieces, or other shape and size only issues. As a soap, these are all normal quality, they just don't meet the size standards of the 4 oz or other size bars. We cannot guarantee any sizes or shapes of scrap pieces. ### How can I make my dish soap bar last longer? Allow it to dry completely between uses on a [draining soap dish](https://www.earthley.com/products/wooden-soap-dish). ### Is Earthley’s Dish Soap Bar septic safe? Yes, Earthley’s Dish Soap Bar is septic safe when used as directed. The oils in the bar are saponified, meaning they have been transformed into soap rather than remaining as free cooking oils.

Rinse dishes thoroughly with clean water after washing. ### Does a dish soap bar actually cut grease? Yes, a solid dish soap can be surprisingly effective on greasy dishes. Earthley’s Dish Soap Bar uses saponified coconut, olive, and castor oils to create cleansing and lathering properties that help lift away grease and grime. ### How do I use a solid dish soap bar?
