Liquid soap in kitchen and bathroom, also Dove soap in bathroom. Jen

Imperial Leather. OH insists on putting liquid soap in the kitchen and cloakroom but I hate it.

Any old liquid soap for handwashing. Simple soap for the shower/bath. Carol x

Floris Rose at the moment. I love opening the bathroom door and getting the smell of roses. BC XX

simple soap. catherine xx

I use Dove :-)

Morning all I use liquid soap for washing hands and shower gel in the bathroom. Don't use soap on my face as I have very dry skin Ali x

Dee i buy Liquid soap from the blind society and Yardleys Lavender for myself.

I'm allergic to lots so we have unscented Palmolive or Fairy. Gwynne

This is bringing back so many memories. I loved the ads, Mags. I was reading an article about bath time memories in a magazine and they showed some of the old ads in it Mention of schools and soap reminds me that back in the 60's our school had liquid soap in the washrooms. As young teenagers we liked to try and get away with wearing make up for school. The times we had to scrub it off with the liquid soap and paper towels. One girls parents complained as their daughter's skin came up in a nasty rash after using the soap, only to be told she shouldn't have worn make up!!! ;-))

Gillian - throw a couple of handfuls of bicarbonate of soda into a cool bath and lay in it for a while - works with chickenpox, perhaps it might work with bites! Mags xx

Usually buy Pearl for hand washing in the bathroom and shower gel otherwise. Liquid soap in the kitchen. Love the old adverts - they could almost claim anything. When you think about it ANY soap would banish B.O. if you used it often enough. I liked the Camay adverts (think it was Camay)...'How old is she?....24?.....25?.......NO - these children are HERS!' (gasp of amazement) - so she had kids before she was 20, what was the big deal? LOL Morning btw. Mags xx

I had forgotten that on Germaine......loved the smell.... ....mind you, I love the smell of new tarmac, and new car tyres too........odd......

I use Pears but don't use saop on my face ( perhaps I should it may help lol). Remember Wrights Coal Tar. I used to think we got it as it was our name lol. Germaine x

What happened to good old carbolic(sp) ? we used at school :) I use Dove. Heather x

Memories Dee - Pears, that advert - and the competition for the Pears Baby.......and Lifebuoy.......and Dad believed in carbolic too......I used to love the smell. Nowadays...... Dove........because its creamy and smells nice. Imperial Leather.......hasn't changed its smell in years. Littlecote Soap Co. Rose & mint, or the white one.. because its hand-made soap and smells lovely.......

Hubby uses Imperial Leather but me and the kids use just any mild non perfumed ones, hate perfumed soap it makes my skin itchy! Marie: )

It seems more and more people are using liquid soap these days, some of it claims to be antibacterial. What happened to just plain soap and water?? I remember Pears soap and my late Dad’s favourite, Lifebuoy. According to the adverts it stopped BO (body odour)
