Question
Can we use the same soap for bathing as well as cleaning utensils or washing clothes? Why?
✓

Answer

No, we cannot use the same soap for bathing as well as cleaning utensils or washing clothes due to the following reasons:

  • Chemical composition of each type of soap or cleansing material is different.
  • Nature, acidity, texture, reactivity towards water (i.e., hard water or soft water), reactivity towards microorganisms, stains are different for each type of soap.
  • Depending on these qualities, soaps are classified and used accordingly.
    e.g. pH of soaps used for bathing purpose is different than that of the soap which is used for cleaning utensils.

Thus, we cannot use the same soap for bathing as well as cleaning utensils or washing clothes.
