I finished pooping and realised my liquid hand soap had run out, so I used a body soap bar to wash them. I had to go outside and use the hand soap in another bathroom to make sure my hands were clean.

Can you use body soap to wash hands properly?

    I thought a big point of soap is that it can connect with both polar and non-polar molecules. I.e. making it possible for fats “dissolve” in water.

      It makes them miscible (able to mix) not soluble (able to dissolve). But yes, you’re exactly right about the mechanism! 🙌

        Nice! Yeah, I knew soluble wasn’t the right word here, thanks for clarifying :)
