Ever wonder what you could do to keep a bar of soap from dissolving so quickly in the shower? Turns out, you need to let a fresh bar of soap "cure" for a few weeks before using it. Many bars of soap are made from a liquid mixture that needs to dry out, or cure, in order for it to be denser, harder and longer-lasting. All you have to do is unwrap the soap you have and let it sit somewhere for six to eight weeks. When you buy multiple bars of soap, unwrap them right away so you'll have harder soap when you need it.
