[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up being the only person in my family using a washcloth, which I called "my emergency washcloth" and was carefully laid on the side of the tub for if/when I got soap or shampoo in my eyes. Otherwise they weren't ever used. I still don't use them.

The no soap at the sink thing is weird. I always start prepping a meal by washing my hands with soap. [/quote]

I always just use dish soap. [/quote]

That's for dishes, not hands. Come on, that's just basic washing science. [/quote]

You're serious??? For one thing, years ago I went to the ER because my brother dropped a large rock that hit my foot. Didn't break anything but it was heavy enough to crush tissue on the top of my foot (missed my toes, I was wearing flip flops at the time). ER doc specifically said to soak the foot in warm water with a little dish soap to try to stave off infection (got infected anyway as the crushed tissue started dying). For another, when I wash dishes in the sinki my HANDS are in the WATER that has DISH SOAP in it. For a third this is quoted from colgate-palmolive website (I use Ajax): "When used as a handsoap to wash away bacteria from wet hands, scrub your hands for 20 seconds and then rinse under clean running water."

I use lotion afterwards unless I will be actually touching food (mostly to avoid the perfumes getting on the food) and I have never had a problem with skin irritation.
