small packs of washing stuff

I found this on the following link

They do what look to be very small packs of soap, laundry soap and shaving soap; they come in packs of 50 small "leaves" described as the same size as soap bar in a hotel. Think i'm going to try some out

I find soap flakes harder to user than just a small bar of soap.
Especially if I was to take up shaving again.

I would prefer a small block of soap (like those in hotels etc) in a plastic container to these.

For shaving I use the very small bottles of oil which are sold at all brnches of Tesco and last at least four tours.

I do everything with either a small Fairy Liquid or in emergencies a cheap shower gel.

Shower gel will wash clothes better than specific clothes-washing stuff.

I have a friend who ran one of the large industrial laundries. He told me years ago that fairy liquid is the best thing for washing anything, be it clothing, hair or body.

I have those soap leaves for hair washing which I picked up in the US last year. They were useless so I have gone back to Dr Bonner's peppermint liquid soap, very refreshing and organic as well.

thought the fairy idea was interesting so looked it up at

it says in the hazards

Prolonged exposure may cause skin irritation.

so be careful with it.

I use soda crystals for cleaning clothes and stuff on tour. Easier and lighter to carry than anything in a bottle, and cheaper than anything in a sachet. Not for washing yourself though.
