Use what works for you ....

Over the years I've found a soap that works great for just about everything and is especially nice when traveling light. Dawn dishwashing liquid concentrate is all I use for washing greasy dishes, clothes and even what little hair I have left. During the Exxon Valdez oil spill Dawn was found to be the preferred product for washing the oil out of contaminated wildlife. It's gentle, mild and yet very efficient at loosening dirt, oils and grease. use only a couple of drops per gallon of water and dump well away from camp or the shoreline. It works fantastic and leaves no residual odor or film. A 10 day trip for four people requires only about 6-8ozs for bathing, dishwashing and clothes washing. USE SPARINGLY!
