Will soap make a comeback coronovirus

[justasking111]

I really hope it will. Much better than plastic bottles for ecology reasons.

Soap has never gone away in this house.

Communal soap bars aren’t very hygienic though are they?
I’m happy to use a soap bar for washing generally but for hand washing I prefer liquid soap.

I never knew it had gone away.

And why they say to use soap and hot water.

Surely soap is self cleaning?

It never went away here, either.
But I thought it was already making a comeback because of the anti-plastic trend.

Can’t believe the OP who said communal soap bars aren’t very hygienic! God save us from the completely OTT hygiene-freaks on MN!

I was thinking this morning re: coronavirus which group is safer from germs the anti bac. obsessives or the do not give a flying fig, bottom scratching, nose picking folk who think cleaning the loo, worktops daily is for wimps.

Who is more germ resistant? I really do not know

I found an article online a while back about soap, and how it gets you just as clean as a liquid handwash would.

I tried soap bars but live in a hard water area and the soap scum started blocking my plug holes! So annoying.

I'm amazed to hear that soap had ever gone away.

When I was worried about infection and read about infection control, it always said that liquid soap must be used, not soap bars.
