Can I launder my mom’s clothing and bedding with persimmon soap?
She is resistant to using the soap on her body. Actually, she’s resistant to using any soap and only wants to use a cleansing cream that a predatory eldercare supply company sends her a case of every month. But that’s a different issue that we’ve decided to not fight anymore.) She is willing to use the soap on her fabrics. Will it work? |

| Don't know anything about the value of persimmon. For many of us, you'll have to explain |

| Persimmon soap is used in Japan to combat body odor, especially kareishū (what Westerners call nonenal or “old people smell”). This soap breaks down the oxidized sebum that causes this smell. Regular soap can’t break it down. |

ATTENTION - THIS IS A SALES PITCH FOR PERSIMMON SOAP ... again!!
Sign. We went round and round about this issue a few years back. There is nothing unique about persimmon soap. There is also nothing about "old people odor" that is so unusual that it needs "special" persimmon soap. There is no legitimate, peer-reviewed study that says persimmon soap does anything special compared to any other soap. A good ole bar of Ivory, Dove or even baby soap will do the same darn thing. |

Wait for the Mirai link. The nononeal only ever comes up in relation to it. They have an ad on Reddit that is tagged to the genx subreddit and they are getting roasted. It’s pretty hilarious. |

| This is stupid. Use regular soap like Persil. Don't be a weirdo. |
