Cleaner soaps

July 10, 2008

Once upon a time, I washed my glasses with soap. This turns out to be a bad idea. Regular soaps leave a lot of residue, which doesn’t come off at all easily.

Eventually, I discovered that shampoo works better. It still tends to leave a bit of gunk but, it comes off much more readily.

Lately, by a happy accident, I cleaned my glasses with a liquid hand soap. This stuff actually rinses off cleanly, with no residue whatsoever.

I wonder how well it works as a shampoo and body wash.

    Have you tried using that hand soap that you don’t have to rinse off?
    It doesn’t work at all well in the shower. It all evaporates when you squeeze it onto your loofa.

  2. No, that stuff is based on rubbing alcohol. It’s not meant to get along with water. I don’t see the point, except as possible emergency gear. You really don’t want that on your tender spots.

  3. Gah. Don’t prank me before I’ve had my coffee.
