Travelers are shocked to know what really happens with your leftover hotel soap

Travelers are mesmerized after discovering what really happens to leftover hotel soap.

Science Insider recently took to TikTok to lift the lid on what’s happening at the Clean the World soap recycling plant, which is headquartered in Orlando, Florida.

The facility can produce thousands of bars per hour, but viewers were amazed by the process.

It means that leftover soap is collected, sanitized, ground into soap noodles, third-party tested, and cut into bars before being packaged and delivered to poor people around the world.

More than 8,100 hotels worldwide ship their leftovers to be reused for charities — and the recent TikTok clip details exactly what this entails.

The detailed process begins with a refinery that resembles a spinning cheese mill – but for soap.

The machine removes the dirt and hair from the top layer of the soap and makes thin ‘noodles’.

Those “noodle” strands are then heated in water and bleached for “seven to eight minutes” to sanitize them.

The conveyor belt then takes the newly made soap pieces to a final refinery before they are formed.

Large bars of soap are eventually made before being reduced to smaller bars by factory workers.

The factory’s Hospitality Partners include Hilton, Hyatt, Marriott, Mandarin Oriental, IHG, Best Western, Hard Rock and Kalahari to name a few.

Clean the world states, “By adopting our program, our partners are strengthening their brand and sustainability efforts by serving as the backbone of our mission to save lives around the world while reducing waste in landfills.”

It involves collecting leftover soap, sanitizing it, grinding it into soap noodles, testing it in a third-party lab, and cutting it into bars before being boxed and delivered to poor people around the world

Clean the World states on its website that: “70 million bars of soap have been distributed” and “127 countries have been served since 2009.”

The brand claims its overall mission is “the global hygiene revolution.”

It supplies soap to children and families in poor countries with “high mortality rates from acute respiratory infections (pneumonia) and diarrheal diseases (cholera), two of the leading causes of death among children under five.”

Clean the World’s goal is to save millions of lives around the world using one household item: soap.
