Clean The World - Soaps Donation for Haiti

We all know of the terrible tragedy that struck the nation of Haiti on January 12th of 2010. When my 9 year old nephew Dominick heard about what happened, he was upset & asked me what he can do to help them. That is when we decided to make soaps to send to Haiti. 
     That weekend I had my nephew sleep over my house, and bright & early in the morning he woke me up ready to make soaps! Below I included some pictures of our day making soaps for Haiti. Our next project we would like to donate soap to our soldiers. Friends & family are all pitching in to help make soap for our American troops.
We made a total of 5-1/2 pounds of soap!!

The soaps will get to Haiti by Clean The World. Clean the World is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that collects used soap and shampoo from US hotels and soap makers. The much-needed soap is then donated to countries where poor sanitary conditions kill. Right now, donations are badly needed for the recent earthquake in Haiti.

CleanTheWorld.org estimates that each year 5 million lives are lost due to conditions like diarrhea-related infection. Of course, children are the ones most susceptible to these preventable diseases. A little hand washing goes a long way!

Clean the World was started by traveling business executive Shawn Seipler. He was sitting in his hotel room one night wondering what happened to all those bars of hotel soap that just get used once or twice.Together with friend Paul Till, Seipler developed a video and poster instructing hotel cleaning staff how to identify and store the gently-used soap and shampoo bottles. Once collected, the soap bars are shaved and steamed to ensure they are bacteria free. Then they are sent overseas.
 
Send your soap donations to:

Clean the World
8026 Sunport Drive, Ste 306
Orlando, FL. 32809

The soaps do not need to be labeled (ingredients, type of soap, etc), and they can be homemade, from a hotel, melt-and-pour soap, or shampoo. Please include a brief note with your contact information explaining that you've donated soap and whether you'd like a receipt for your taxes.

Glow in the Dark Soaps are here!!!

After a lot of hard work researching & testing we now offer glow-in-the-dark soap.
We use a high quality phosphorescent pigment in our products.  The glow pigment used in our soap is non-toxic, non-radioactive, & environmentally safe. Our glow pigment is made from an alkaline earth aluminate known as strontium aluminate. Strontium aluminate is vastly superior than it's predecessor, copper-activeated zink sulfide. It's glow is about 10 times brighter & lasts about 10 times longer than zink sulfide.

Our new glow products have been thoroughly tested on family & friends and all have shown no signs of skin irritation. The kids just love them.

3 glow in the dark soaps we will be offering are:
-3D Alien Head Soap
-3D UFO Soap
-Crystal Skull Soap

Below are some pictures of our Crystal Skull glow-in-the-dark soap. (I still need to work on getting a clear picture of the soaps glowing in the dark)
