Feb 07, 2008 BANG FOR THE BITE If 10,000 Biters opt for a 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioner, we'll avert the weight of 10 prison guards in plastic packaging. COCKTAIL FACTOID A man who stole a $25,000 diamond from an Orange County, CA, jeweler smuggled his booty into prison by swallowing it, then hid it in a shower drain (and after all that, the jail officials got it). LIKE THIS TIP? Then check out . . .The Buying Bulk Tip RATE THIS TIP How useful is this tip?(5 is the highest) 1 2 3 4 5 Where is it OK to drop the soap? The Bite Anywhere you have a multitalented replacement handy. Break out of your many-product prison using versatile body care products that do double duty as shampoo, soap, and even laundry detergent, and you won't have to bend over (backwards or otherwise) to reduce packaging waste. The Benefits Putting away waste for life. Multipurpose suds usually require less packaging and energy for production, transport, and marketing. Amnesty from so many products. Simplifying your entire life is especially great when it comes time to pack for a trip. Personally Speaking Although Brett had never, ever bought personal care products as gifts for his guy friends, Every Man Jack's broke that streak. Wanna Try? Every Man Jack Body Wash - combo body care that nurtures your skin and scalp and gets you clean in one fell swoop; in four good scents that aren't overwhelming ($5). Dr. Bronner's Magic Soap - organic all-in-one that cleans your body and hair, does the laundry, and even washes kitchen countertops and the car; in six scents ($3-$50). A Wild Soap Bar - like the above, cedar-scented bar soap you can lather up, and use in your hair and on your body ($6).

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 I'm using Dr. Bronner's Pure-Castile lavender soap in the shower. I have different shampoo. I even used his castile soap to do the dishes and it was OK but not much staying power of the suds and it is way too expensive for that...LOL Barbara I've heard good things about Dr. Bronners products.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 I think we, as Americans, have been programmed into thinking suds are the sign of a superior product. The more suds, the better. I'm not convinced that less suds is a bad thing. Don't they put special chemicals into products to make them foam up more? The Dr. Bronners might be just as good for cleaning dishes, even without the suds. But the price is probably too high anyway, lol. Cyndi In a message dated 2/7/2008 10:50:23 A.M.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 That's too bad. I'm sure it's much better for the environment than the majority of soaps. :-( Cyndi In a message dated 2/7/2008 7:42:55 P.M.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 It's the detergents they put in things (like dish soaps, shampoos, etc) that cause the suds. It's aslo the detergents that are so icky for us. As americans we are programmed to believe more suds = clean, but it isn't true. So sad... ~KrisBarbara <barbara3 wrote: What I meant about suds....I had to use too much soap because it disappeared too quickly. Even with small amount of fat, the soap was gone way too soon.

I did buy a dish washing soap at my HFS with the name .....Planet....don't remember the second word....and it was good. I'm going to get it again. Barbara That's too bad.
