How long does the soap stay good for and are there any special storing requirements? Worried about bacteria growth.

A friend who decided to keep her soap as a decoration (we did flower shapes) has had it for 2 months now and it looks perfect. Being soap, bacteria growth shouldn't be a concern.

I really think it would not be a good idea if you plan on using the soap. Read what it is made of

I keep mine in a cool, dark place and its still good after a few months. I don't see why it wouldn't last nearly indefinitely providing it doesn't get contaminated with any foreign substances. Maybe keeping it in the fridge might help with this.

To give you an idea, I bought a 3 lb bag for myself ONLY, and it lasted a little over a year (12-14 months). I used it for face AND body, and I even have chunks of it away to at least 4 friends for them to try. So basically, it goes a long way if you know how to use it...the main thing to know is that it lathers a lot. I found it helpful to keep the piece in a small Tupperware container without the lid instead of on a flat soap dish because a) the brown soap scum won't be all over your sink and tub (which looks bad), and b) the soap is really soft so it will sort of melt in the container without going to waste. Hope this helps! To give you an idea, I bought a 3 lb bag for myself ONLY, and it lasted a little over a year (12-14 months).

Never made soap before, so I can't really say, but: I thought it was of good construction, like a food-grade mold. And it was flexible enough to maintain the shape of the jello shots I used it for. By the way, I am speaking about it in past-tense, because I gave it to the birthday boy I made the jello shooters for. Hope this helps.

No, not that it said. I store mine in my pantry for up to 6 months, though you should rinse it very well. Once opened and blanched you should then store in fridge.

I keep it in the refrigerator ... I've read that will keep the bacteria alive longer. When I received it, it was not kept cool in the box.

I do with mine. I just use a very watered down soap and I make sure to wipe with dry cloth after so just to make sure no water is left on it. It hasnt hurt it it's been about 2 months id say. Hope this helps.

Five or six months is fine, I think. Refrigerating extends the life by about a month I would say (though I've never had mine go bad really, just noticed a slight shift in scent).

Soap and/or Vinegar really is fine for most people. If you wish to go beyond then Control III Concentrate Disinfectant is not that expensive once you realize that it is concentrated and that a bottle could last you over 3 years (It makes 16 gallons, you only need 2 cups to a quart at a time, and it can be reused for 14 days). I like it.

I store mine in a jar filled with heavy salted water in the refrigerator. I change the water every couple of months and have keep them fresh for approximately 2 years. If they have a very strong odor they are beyond there useful life.

I usually use a bar up in about six months, I don't think there is any problem with freshness as there are no preservatives like Oil of Olay or other soaps.

That is a good question and I do not know the answer. Maybe you should contact the seller who made this soap and ask them. Best wishes.

Good question, I leave it on the counter and have had no spoil or mold issues.

I clean mine with just soap and water. Have also placed it in a lingerie bag and thrown it in with cold water laundry. I am not aware of any antimicrobial properties.

I have had my one bottle over 6 months. I believe as long as you keep it sanitary by using fresh q tips to stir it and to apply than it will keep fresh until it is gone.

Don't know. I've used my for about a year and it's still in good shape. In on my second cake of soap.
