It involved cleaning our nails and our wrists too and we had to put the plug in and fill the basin with warm water and all together it took a good five or six minutes. We used bar soap and I never heard of anyone having a problem with mrsa etc... until nowadays when people wash their hands very quickly under running water using a quick squirt of something that says it's anti-bacterial and a quick shake under the water... not good. Firstly it is not essential to kill ALL the germs - in spite of the tv adverts that scare you into thinking everything is out to kill you - a certain number of germs is essential in order for you to build up your immune system, secondly.. bar soap IS anti-bacterial provided you wash your hands PROPERLY. And a good cold processed bar soap will last you for ages and ages. I'll get off my soap box now!Jane Le Galloudechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00517114561049964427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-23097207485529830632010-07-02T22:45:55.584+01:002010-07-02T22:45:55.584+01:00Oh, Ilona, don`t get me started on `hand-wash` and...Oh, Ilona, don`t get me started on `hand-wash` and `shower gel` - my two pet hates. Who needs `liquid cleansers` - what happened to bar soap? It kept us clean for the last few hundred years - providing we used it! It`s the biggest con of this generation; liquid soap costs a fortune, then you have the plastic bottle to recycle - bar soap is cheap, lasts forever, cleans well, and leaves nothing to be disposed of.

He can`t see that a diluted washing up bottle would do just as well, and it lasts much longer. His argument would be: 'Why dilute when we can afford to buy?' I hate waste. And I`d like to be more economical with it. He just doesn`t get it.<br />So, I use my diluted one when I do the washing up and give him his concentrated when he`s doing the washing up. He has not even noticed the difference.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09114653674812242486noreply@blogger.com
