VERY, VERY OT Bath soap recommendation?
I have scrubbed a ring of slime-y soap residue from the bathtub for the
last time.... I hope! All the deoderant bath soap bars now seem to contain "moisturizers" and I hate the slippery, scummy, slime-y mess they leave in my bathtub. I was using Zest White Water bars, but they seem to be discontinud. The Linen Fresh Zest that I just tried is the slimey type- as is the generic version of Irish Spring soap bars. Does anyone know of a deoderant bath soap that does not contain moisturizers? I do NOT want some fancy, expensive bar of soap which contains a lot of exotic stuff and that I cannot find locally in this small town. I have a choice of WalMart, two grocery stores and a drug store. We have no allergy issues. I just want a bar of deoderant soap that's easy to find and relatively inexpensive- Lifebouy, SafeGuard, Zest, Ivory, etc. kind of soaps- nothing fancy, please. Can anyone help me with a recommendation??? Leslie (very frustrated) & The Green Apple Shampoo Scented Furbabies in MO. |

Since I clean bathrooms here I buy regular old Zest. I did buy the
white ones for awhile but can't find them either. Old Zest works for us. There is a new blue one that doesn't work for me so it is back to the old one the old one. If I go to the Smart and Final (small warehouse type store) I can get American or Mexican zest. They appear the same but one is actually made in Mexico. Go figure.

I'm allergic to most of the deordorant soaps/perfumes/etc. I use plain
old Ivory bar soap. If I switch to a liquid soap from time to time, I use Dr. Bronner's liquid Castile soap (peppermint or almond), or Neutrogena Rainwater Bath Gel (just a little bit goes a long way!)

I can't help you with a suggestion, because I primarily use French soaps
that I buy at a little shop nearby, however, I do want to tell you I totally get what you're talking about regarding the "moisturizing" bars of soap. All the Determologists I have ever seen recommend Dove, but I hate the slimey, scummy feel of it. DH uses it - I use the French soaps - which I stop up on at their annual soap sale & because it's so well made, it lasts at least twice as long as DH's Dove does, so it's quite the bargain IMNSHO! When I was away at retreat last month, I did have to buy grocery store soap, because I don't like those little tiny soaps they put in the rooms & I got Oil of Olay at the store. It seemed to be pretty nice & didn't leave that film on me or the shower & it is widely available at grocery & drug stores, so I guess I do have a suggetion for you after all!

I had to put a soap dish stuck to the wall to prevent issues of scum from the part of the tub where he kept the bar. -georg |

Rather than changing soaps, you might want to consider investing in an automatic shower cleaner. It works very well: http://www.automaticshowercleaner.com/faqs.asp Sheila |

Have you tried just using an inexpensis shampoo? I've been using Suave
shampoos as body wash for years. If it gets too drying in winter, I add about a tbsp glycerine to a 16 oz bottle. ilex |

'Twas a summer day in winter, And the snow was raining fast As a barefoot boy with shoes on Stood sitting in the grass.

Try ours. After years of using fine soaps and spending lots of money at the
dermatologists and allergists - and! having hives and miserable itching, DH and I starting using the cheapest one made. It pretty much doesn't contain anything. Our soap brand name is Captiva cocoa butter soap. Captiva is made in Canada and is only sold at the really good cheap places like the Dollar Store and Fred's. We may never know what special ingredient in expensive soap was trying to kill us, or at least make us miserable. Don't care. For cleaning the tub, I just use whatever shampoo I've bought that we didn't really like. They're good for taking down soap scum without taking away the skin on your hands. Smell nice too. Polly |
