Thank goodness. Now I feel more comfortable about using a communal shower in an Ebola outbreak.

So is the soap dirty or the dirt clean?

[miriga]

Soap is self cleaning, so while there may be “dirty things” on it the soap has essentially cleaned them

Im learning about soap in my ieganic chemistry class and boy its so powerful snd shows how genius humans can be

This is the type of info I like to see

A guy I was in jail with had no commissary, so he would put everyone left over bars combined them and made a huge bar of soap…. Well that same guy ended up getting a huge staff infection between his legs.

I just can't stand when the bottom gets mushy

I personally like bar soap, the water you rinse with takes all the dirt and everything away.

[DavidCruickshank]

If the soap can't wash the germs from the soap off of your hands then how was it going to wash the germs off of your hands in the first place?? People really need to work on their critical thinking skills.

Funny enough, we weren't taught this in basic school 😒
Thanks for sharing.❤

It "probably" won't make you sick!? that's a pretty big probably dude!

[michaelnolan]

I hear you but if you drop a bar of soap in dirt, do you have clean dirt or dirty soap? Can’t trust it

[romanregman]

There's an easy test : do billionaires use recycled soap? Or do their butlers select NEW Soap?

[Letsfreakingo]

The bars of soap I buy goes all around my tip and up and around my butt crack, gotta start the day fresh. I couldn’t imagine anyone else doing something with my bar of soap

[patman]

Do not use this soap, ever heard of a clean turd? Yeah me neither.

[jayfulf]

Thought soap emulsified aka binds oil and water

[Antony_Jenner]

They recycle hotel soap, basically heat it up mash it all and pull out all the dodgy bits and remould it.

[cHAOs]

Everyone already knows this. Thats why they feel comfortable using the soap on their face right after their butt.

[BubbleTeaMasterr]

The dead skin cells were the red light for me I’m sorry
