diamondk Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 What does everyone store your soaps in when you aren't selling them? I hope that made sense. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindym Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 I store my cured soaps in shoe boxes with holes in them and the cover slightly ajar sometimes I put a little cotton ball with the scent of the soap in there also. HTH Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinInOR Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 I bought 18" long card boxes - they were originally designed for baseball cards I think, but they hold soap quite nicely, and stack on a shelf. Since I use such a high percentage of RBO, I don't like to store in plastic - I think RBO likes to "breathe" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teercreations Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 I went to Walmart and The Dollar store and got plastic tupperware boxes. Usually I let the soaps breathe for a week or two then I will put them in the Tupperware boxes but sometimes with or without the lid. They stack on shelves and usually keep their scent very well. I havent been able to find cardboard boxes that can take the abuse I put them through. Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondk Posted August 14, 2005 Author Share Posted August 14, 2005 The only boxes that I have at the moment are the PP 5 for my votives. Will these work or can I use the ziploc type containers? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Lilac Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 I like the idea of the cotton ball with some scent on it. I will have to try that.Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinInOR Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 Kinda be careful with the cotton ball - it if touches the soap it will stick and you'll have a devil of a time getting the fluff off But it does work great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idahospud Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 I keep mine in empty cardboard beer flats. My hubby is a bartender, so they are free, and works great for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca_IA Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 I use to do the plastic shoe boxes, but that effected all of my soaps, without regard to what the soaps were made of. I do not think it allows the soap to breathe enough. I know store what I have in boxes, shoe boxes or other small boxes, like postal boxes.

Debk Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 If you store in shoe boxes or cardboard boxes, do you leave the lids off or put the lids on with air holes poked in? I didn't know if the cardboard absorbed the scents or not. I currently have mine in plastic storage boxes but finding out that they want to sweat so I am putting the lids on part way so the air will get in. As far as wrapping the cured soaps, I am using soap boxes right now. I have several Dan's bands but I am afraid they will sweat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
