Soap or Liquid Soap Which Do You Prefer?

Ask a Question

Do you prefer a bar of soap of liquid soap for washing your hands ?

I am a fan of liquid soap as I always think with soap you are touching the dirt/germs of the last person who has used it, however today I decided to use the soap from a gift set and found I washed my hands for longer, as it took a while for the soap to lather.

We have an automatic liquid dispenser which makes things so much easier and cleaner around the sink area.

eyeballkerry we had one but it stopped working and we could not get it to work again lol 😆

There’s no way to like see if it’s working via battery

beccatavender I couldn’t live without mine now, wished we could have one in the kitchen but my sink overlooks a large window so no wall to hang it on.

I prefer liquid soap for hands. I think you can get a better lather and wash around the hands. Bar soap is still nice for a bath sometimes though if you get a nice one.

JLouM I agree with you on this! Liquid soap 🧼 produces more lather and o guess makes your hands feel much cleaner lol 😝

I prefer to use liquid soaps and buy the refillable pouches.

TiaTia we do that too! Or get the ones from Aldi but they are bottles so have to pour them into the bottle that has a pump

To get the most out of liquid soaps we even add water lol 😝

kitty88uk I probably wouldn't add water if it's antibacterial soaps - I'm not sure if it'll hinder the antibacterial effect, as well as, tap water has other minerals etc in it.

I usually do half / quarter pumps to save.

I added water to Aldi magnum platinum once because it was defectively gloopy, but gosh it made it worse. But I find in general, smaller pumps of any cleanser seem to clean better than pre added water - maybe I put too much water in? How much do you add?

hky not much water just when the liquid soap 🧼 is about to be finished

I try not to think too much if it’s antibacterial or not. As long as your hands are clean and like don’t smell of any foods like from eating crisps lol then it’s fine

kitty88uk Oh right, haha, my house does that, too - I thought you meant right after you opened it.

I read about it before, adding half water, like 10yrs ago - it didn't work so well then, but over the yrs, I just randomly test with an extra quarter of water, less, more etc 😅, hoping I'll save.

All the family like to use liquid soap as it’s more hygienic. I have soap bars which are stuck in a cupboard as no one wants to use them.

I also consider it more hygienic to use liquid soap but I use a bar of soap in the shower, although I am the only one who uses it as Mr T uses shower gel.

It depends really, in a public space i always prefer liquid soap because you don’t know who’s used the bar of soap before you.
