Carrying liquid detergent while travelling can be inconvenient and heavy. A practical alternative is to make your own soap sheets. Grate a bar of soap into fine shavings, then press them between sheets of baking parchment. You can store small sheets in your wallet or a tiny pouch.
When needed, simply drop a sheet into water; it dissolves instantly and can be used for handwashing clothes, washing dishes, or cleaning your hands. Soap sheets are lightweight, eco-friendly and far easier to carry than detergent pods or bottles, making them perfect for travel or camping.
