This may be a very cool hipster topic and I don't want to disregard the art and skills involved with concocting a great line of soap bars... However, soap bars are not particularly hygienic. This is due to the fact that
[1] they are shared between people in the wash basin and the shower or tub
[2] they are used repeatedly but in reusing it, the user is potentially exposed to old grime and bacteria.
- everdrive 7y agoHow well does bacteria live on a bar of soap?
- unixhero 7y agoWell enough for hospitals to agree with my OC.
- Tepix 7y agoHospitals have different requirements, they have patients with a weakened immune system. The bacteria that are in a normal household pose no threat to healthy people. Which is why you shouldn't use antibacterial stuff in your everyday life. With regards to soap in hospitals: They also have special liquid soap dispensers you can use with your elbows. Again something you don't need in your house.
