Can you use expired liquid hand soap?

Most manufactured soaps have an expiration date of two to three years. However, if soap still lathers up when you wash your hands, says Minbiole, it can still be used effectively — even after the expiration date. It shouldn't matter if the soap is liquid or bar, he says.

How long can liquid soap last?

Liquid soap will last from a year to 18 months, but powdered dish detergent is only good for up to six months once it's opened. Unopened, it's quite shelf-stable.
