The hotel installed cameras and saw what the maid did with the guest's soap. What did the maid do with the guests' soap?
Hotel guests know that a few new bars of soap and personalized shampoo and conditioner are always waiting for them in their rooms. All these accessories are included in the package, so you don’t have to worry that someone with dermatitis has washed their hands with them before you.
Portions are made with reserves, so few people have time to completely use up soap supplies. Some people take them with them when leaving the hotel, and some even collect soap from different hotels, but most guests simply leave the soap in their room.
But what then happens to these soap residues? Are they simply thrown into the trash?

Leftover soap, shampoo, conditioner and other cleaning products are donated to charitable organizations. They are also engaged in recycling hygiene products.

“One day I noticed that the maid in the morning changed all the soap in my room with new ones. I asked why do this, since I had only washed my hands a couple of times, and my soap could be used for another week, if not more. But they told me that this is a requirement of the hotel management so that they can meet the 5-star status,” Sean said.

Then the man estimated that around the world, about 5 million bars of soap were sent to landfill every day! Sean realized he could put his unused cleaning supplies to better use.

In 2009, he founded Clean The World, a charity that recycles soap and distributes it for free in third world countries. In 2016, through the efforts of Sean and his colleagues, 7,000,000 bars of soap and 400,000 hygiene kits were produced and donated!
