MrsMe Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 This is sort of stupid, but can you use a shower gel as a hand soap? I have some shower gel but I don't like it and don't want to use it on my body. But I don't want to waste it so I thought it may work as a hand soap in a pump container. Is there a reason why this can't be used for this? I have a few that I don't like the smell much, but it would be okay for hand use. Would I dilute it?

KidsHappen Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Yes, you can do this but you don't need to dilute. Put it in the guest bathroom. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtroad Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I can't imagine it being a problem. It may not have all those "skin softerning claims"... but it is still safe & soap. I always dilute it b/c less $$ that way... and kids get such big pumps in their hands. By thinning it... they get a splash & it foams up great... clean & cheaper!!!

phathui5 Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Isn't it pretty much the same thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plain jane Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I think it would be just fine. Handwashing is good because the soap makes the skin slippery and causes the germs/viruses/bacteria to be washed off the hands, not because it kills them (unless you count antibacterial soap but I don't like those). I think shower gel would accomplish the same end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
