Bar soap is notoriously unsanitary and worth avoiding. I have been
using the same soap for almost 30 years. It's called Dr. Bronners Pure
Castille Soap and is available with different theraputic essential
oils such a peppermint. It is great soap,very concentrated and always
found at natural foods co-ops and groceries.

Glad I kept reading. I was gonna say...you need to visit it more
frequently or it's one hell of a big bar of soap.

Hi,
Origin of Castille soap is Spain. I never use bar soap. Liquid soap,
liauid shower gel is our choice.

Triclosan is just going to help breed your germs stronger and better.
Mechanical removal - ie a scourer & vinegar is the best bet.
