What kind of laundry soap do you use? Why?

I personally like Tide (with a touch of Downy)\n\nGain is also pretty good.\n\nThey both leave a fresh scent and get rid of stains. I bleach my whites seperately though :-)

I would use the tide that has febreeze in it. I use it for my husbands work clothes all the time and than the fabric softener with the same scent. If they were white bleach with tide would work but in this case febreeze sounds like the answer. I know years ago everyone use borax for that type of thing now there is borateam or snowy bleach. Try drying them outside also that makes anything smell fresh if you aren't living next to the freeway.

I know that Dawn works well.  Not sure what kind of detergent you are asking about.

Absolutely it is.  It's a common allergy.  You need to find a soap with as little added to it as possible, no dyes, perfumes, etc.  Sometimes baby soap is milder.  I use plain old Ivory soap the one with no dyes or fragrance.  Another soap good for people sensitive to allergy is nuetragena.  It's yellow.  They also have a really good shampoo as that can also be a culprit.  You want the clear one.   I hope you can find one that suits you.  If your symptoms continue see a allergist.  \n\nAnother common allergy is laundry soap.

Actually it is the soap in combination with the warm water with the friction that makes you clean.  At least that is what they taught me at work in our little class on how to wash your hands.

Dove soap is the most gentle ( even more so than baby wash) according to my children's pediatrician and I know they make one for sensitive skin.  Bad hygiene is a cause of UTIs so I wouldn't suggest not using soap but instead take a shower and wash gently rather than a bath.

Classical soap consists of sodium salts of fatty acids.\n\nSoap can be made from any animal or plant fat. Historically, tallow was used for making soap. The fat is boiled in alkaline soda, splitting the ester-bond between the fatty acids and the glycerine, producing badly solubile sodium fatty acid salt flakes which can be fished off the surface.\n\nIf you use potassium salts for the alkaline solution, the glycerine won't remain in the alkaline liquid, creating greasy-feeling soft soap.\n\nAs to formulation, for each molecule of fat you will require three sodium ions, but you will need an excess of alkaline solution during the reaction.

Maybe you are allergic to your soap or laundry detergent.

None.....soap scum is a chemical reaction.\n\nMold is the most common thing you find in the shower.\n\nBleach will destroy both of these.

Just a fancy way of saying soap to use in the shower. It's for the body. Nothing special about it,  it's just overpriced.

A soap is a surface active agent, which  means it attaches to the surface of a substance or slightly alters the surface energy of the substance.  When two materials are brought into contact suchs as two liquids or a solid and a liquid, or two solids, the differences in the surface energies will determine whether the are immiscible or , in the case of solids, one wets the surface of another or simply beads up on it.  \n\nThe best "soap" needs to be chosen based on what the liquid chemistry is.  For example, if you want to mix a material in water or alcohol or oil.  Each could require a different "soap" to be used.

The use of lye soap worked wonders for my sister's.  She was able to purchase this at a local health and beauty shop

Soap is a surfactant cleaning compound used for personal or minor cleaning. It usually comes in solid moulded form, termed bars. In somewhat recent years, the use of thick liquid soap has become increasingly widespread, especially from dispensers in public washrooms. Soap is used in conjunction with water for washing and cleaning. The wet soap residue and the dirt or soil are rinsed off with clean water afterwards. In the developed world, synthetic detergents have superseded soap as a laundry aid.\n\nMany soaps are mixtures of sodium or potassium salts of fatty acids which can be derived from oils or fats by reacting them with an alkali (such as sodium or potassium hydroxide) at 80°–100 °C in a process known as saponification. The fats are hydrolyzed by the base, yielding glycerol and crude soap. Historically, the alkali used was potash made from the deliberate burning of vegetation such as bracken, or from wood ashes.\n\nSoap is derived from either oils or fats. Sodium Tallowate, a common ingredient in many soaps, is in fact derived from rendered animal fat. Soap that is made of vegetable oils, such as olive oil, are generally termed castile soap.

Used to be used in the manufacture of soap, I believe.

You can just ask them, "what kind of deoderant do you use?"

Usually shampoo is developed for hair, and soap for your body. Try finding a shampoo for your hair, for example, if it is curly, find a curl enhancing shampoo. It will probably be better than using soap.
