Soap for bathing

Ivory soap floats on water and it won’t sink down, get lost and wasted.

Soap for kitchen use and laundry use

Margaret “Peggy” Atwood wrote that her parents used Sunlight soap for washing utensils, cleaning the kitchen, and clothes. These brands of soap seem to be more than a hundred years old. Peggy’s mom was born in 1909 and Carl was born in 1906. Those soaps have been around for more than a century.
