I will finish the container but do not think I will be buying this soap again.. I may try Just Ducky's recipe or try Trader Joe's green version.

Total skeeve factor. I know it is wasteful...but I need disposable cleaning products. I was thrilled when I discovered Method wipes, biodegradable and work very well, for cleaning the bathroom. I use Bounty and Method spray for just about everywhere else. I am hoping to find paper towels that are at least recycled so I can relieve some of the guilt without entering the skeeve zone. I am going to try out one of those natural sponges I read about on Fake Plastic Fish to see if it won't give me the germy heebie-jeebies. I can't explain it. I must have whiffed one raunchy sponge as a kid or something. I can’t do the sponge thing. Total skeeve factor. I know it is wasteful…but I need disposable cleaning products.

I've been wanting to try a shampoo bar, but wasn't sure I'd like it. I'll definitely give it a go now. As for the paper towels? I gave those up last year and the only time I REALLY miss them is when the dog pukes on the hardwoods. I find sponges, cloth napkings, dishtowels and baby-size washcloths kept in the kitchen work just as well as "the quicker picker upper". Also, I have used the 7G TP and, while it's definitely not squeezably soft or quilted for comfort, it does get the job done. However, I keep a box of 7G baby wipes in the bathroom as well, for toddler poops. Just to be extra sure (since they don't bathe every day). Thanks for the reviews!
