Hello everyone, I’m not sure if this is the right place but I couldn’t think where else to put this- I am a bath bomb maker with hopes to expand into soap someday. I am in between college and grad school and living with my parents to save money and save up. So far my parents have been very tolerant of my bath bomb stuff, but in the process of learning how to make them I have accidentally eaten through the finish on their kitchen table and pantry door with fragrance oils as well as gotten bath bomb dye in the carpet and on the grout between the backsplash tiles. I’m terrified of actually ruining something of theirs even worse. I swear I’m not clumsy, I just can’t possibly control every drop of every substance as I work. And it seems it’s always the dark red dye that gets everywhere, never the pale micas....
I guess my question is more of a plea for ideas of how to create a set up that minimizes damage and stains? I see lots of soap makers who set up a spare room in their houses or whatever but I can’t do that as I won’t be able to afford even renting an apartment of my own for a while. I don’t know what else to do, because I don’t want to give it up but also I can’t keep damaging my parent’s things...
