What soap do you use at the kitchen sink for your hands?

[AlternativelyWired]

My mum has asked me to get her some hand washing soap for the kitchen. She normally has liquid soap but I have Nesti Dante bar soap. What do you use and what is best avoided? I can't get to anywhere like tkmax or b&m/home bargains but know people often says about soaps from there. It needs to be online or from a small Asda/boots/Superdrug/co-op/pharmacy. Thank you!

Honestly it's whatever the cheapest atm it's s radox antibacterial It was 89p from Asda , just buy anything you see.

I was actually talking about washing my hands during food prep etc, but lots of people only have an upstairs hand basin so use their kitchen sink. It's not ideal, but most houses in England aren't ideally built & don't have Utility rooms or down stairs cloakrooms 💁🏻‍♀️

But what do you wash your hands with after handling raw food ect?

Carex Advance with Macadamia oil
It's the only one I use that's never dried my hands out
There's a Shea butter one too
Usually on offer somewhere for £1

Savers sells a 500ml of the macadamia carex as I've bought it a few times

Washing up liquid is poison for my skin. That stuff is designed to break down fat so it will dry out my hands very quickly.

We got the refil-bottles Palmolive Honey and Milk from Tesco and I have reusable pump bottles. We now tried Ecover citrus and orange but I am not a big fan. Method Lavender is the next to try out,

Carex or the Aldi fake version

The ecover lavender one is nice and not too drying.

Bar of soap in a soap dish as trying to avoid plastic.

Dove or Carex whichever is on offer when I buy it.

The milkman delivers ours and takes back the old glass soap bottles.

I have a wanky soap bar mounted to the wall next to the sink. Same as James Martin has in his kitchen. Makes me laugh every time I use it. No plastic and same 'bar' of soap for 1yr now. You can get them on Amazon.

Dove liquid soap.

In what way can't you imagine having bar soap at the sink? I buy hand soap size pieces of olive oil soap or if I can't get them, I chop up a large one. I wouldn't have a large bar. I have an olive wood soap tray with slots, so it drains, doesn't sit getting soggy (bleurgh)

& no small children (or men) making it disgusting 😂. They use the liquid soap, in another sink.

What ever is on offer in Tesco. Unless I'm feeling fancy then I choose a more expensive one.

A bar of soap, whatever type is available in tesco at the time, try to pick a plastic free one if possible. Sometimes use a bit of fairy liquid if my hands are really minging though. Why do people think liquid soap is better/more hygienic?

The white moisturising Carex

I just use a moisturising antibac one from Aldi . It's a really nice product, about 75p.

Bog standard supermarket own brand liquid soap. I had some carex last time but it didn’t seem to like my south facing windowsill and kind of boiled over/leaked everywhere.

I have a reusable bottle which i top up with a cheap bubble bath liquid. It's got a Waitrose grapefruit flavour at the moment.

I had tried a bar soap but I couldn't get it to lather if my hands were greasy and it went funny.

Fabulosa hand wash for kitchen, cares for the small toilet that the kids mostly use and Baylis and Harding for the big bathroom 😁

I get the big bottles from TK Maxx, lovely variety in the shop

Carex or equivalent

I use an emollient cream as a soap substitute. An aqueous cream or something like Cetraben. Good for dry skin and easily available in pharmacies and supermarkets.

Please reconsider buying liquid soap, it's in single use plastic. Bars of soap are environmentally friendly and last for ages so more cost effective.
