My Dr. said to wash face &amp; hands with antibacterial soap before using pre-surgery eye drops. Is Dr. B's peppermint liquid soap antibacterial?

Don't tell anyone, especially the soap companies that are scamming us, but all soap is antibacterial. First let's take a look at how soap works on a chemical level. To make soap, you need to combine an acid and a base (or alkali). The acid is fat (fatty acids and triglycerides), and the base is sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The mixture causes the fatty acids to separate from the triglycerides and fuse with the hydroxide ions, forming a salt that we call "soap." Soap has two main functions: Decrease water's surface tension Bind to dirt, oil and bacteria

I use a 1:4 mix of regular Listerine and warm water on my ceramic/porcelain tile floors. Weird, right? It's too strong for my mouth so I repurposed it. It's relatively inexpensive, antibacterial, and has the added benefit of opening your sinuses and freshening the air!

I do not use it for my face. I use it for my underarms since order is created by bacteria and Sulfur Soap treats bacteria.

Probably not. All soap cleans dirt & bacteria off the skin. I gave different soaps from this company as Christmas presents and everyone has really liked them. The natural handmade soaps last longer and are much better for the skin.

Yes, the Tea Tree and the Lavender Dr. Bronner's are a great body/face wash and also shampoo. A little goes a long way. My mate prefers the peppermint and so we get all three. It's all I use in the shower. And of course, keep your eyes closed. One of the comments on the Peppermint page is from a college student who is also acne prone and it has cleared up.

It does not say on the packaging that it is antibacterial. It cleans very well. On occasion I will add some household bleach to my mop water or the solution I use to clean my kitchen.

I use a dime size of olive oil and antibacterial soap mix together in the palm of my hand. I rub it brush in thenpalmof my hand in a circular motion. Then rise in warm water. Do not submerge the brush in water. Let air dry over night. Hope this helps!!

I lather up my hands and then use on my face. I have had no troubles, I did question the same thing but took a chance. There are hard particles within the soap that would scratch facial skin maybe that is why this is on the label.

No Rx needed. This anti-microbial wound wash cleanser is used in probably all hospital wound care /burn units to aid in the fight against germs and bacteria. Good suggestion, also buy the pump, and upon receiving the product, pour about half or a little less into another container, refill both 1/3rd back with lukewarm water, now you have enough to last for a while. The original solution comes out the pump like a foam soap, easy to use and cleanse.

You can use your hands just wash your hands afterwards, that's after using any benzoyl peroxide product. And on my face, I used just this but on my back and chest I used it after soap and it still worked.

I haven't heard of this. I know that when It is used it is recommended that you wash your hands so you don't get it in your eyes or mouth. I would have to look into it more before doing this. Maybe contact the company.

Yes, the drops a sterile petroleum salve and they keep your eyes from drying out overnight. Yes, you need to use the daytime products as usual. I had a real bad problem with dry eyes after surgery. I went to an ophthalmologist who put "tear drain plugs" or also called Punctal Plugs. It took about a year for my eyes to get normal. Sorry to have to tell you that! Ask the ophthalmologist office if they do it before going if you decide to. Not all of them know how to do the procedure. It is painless and only takes 1-2 minutes. I truly believe I would still be suffering today if I hasn't gotten the tear drain plugs plus using drops. Yes, the drops a sterile petroleum salve and they keep your eyes from drying out overnight.

Hello, generally speaking, CPAP manufacturer's instructions indicate that the mask, hose and reservoir be washed daily. Most customers do not follow these instructions. Although the SoClean is a sanitizer, we cannot technically advise anyone against what the manufacturer suggests. If you decide to hand wash your equipment daily, weekly or not at all, please be assured that the equipment is sanitized as long as you run the SoClean daily. We provide a pre-wash that is intended to use prior to the first use of your SoClean or when introducing new equipment to your CPAP system, to wash your mask, hose and reservoir. You would use the pre-wash with water, in the same way you would use dish soap, to clean your equipment. If you do chose to hand wash your equipment we recommend using a Fragrance-free hypoallergenic cleaning solution. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Christine Dadah Customer Support

I sealed it with the special lotion they reccomend when I first got it.... I use it ever so often to keep it looking good. I use regular dish soap and it's seemed to disinfect it with no issues.

The instructions say not to add soap. I have added a few drops of peppermint oil and rinsed it out well after I finish using it and haven't had any problems.

Dish soap works best and use cleaning mode. Unless you have an air compressor with a blower attachment. Also an occasional swab with alcohol helps keeps things sanitary too. My face will break out if I don't clean it once a week.
