I combat this wastage by only washing on a Sunday. I just stick it on dry and leave it there to flake off when its dry taking the filth with it.
Then I sweet all the dust in the house up and deposit it in a bucket which fill with water and stir after letting it settle I syphon off the liquid into a stainless pan and heat the to reduce it back down to a soapy paste at that point I place one end of a hand woven pubic hair rope on a baking tray and pour the paste over the tray and set it aside to dry.
Once dry I cut it into artisinal triangles, you’ll find them on Etsy
Its good for a couple of goes before it starts getting unacceptably grey. I reuse the pubic hair ropes to make macrame air plant hangers.
