Cleaning Up!
Even though I love my gardening gloves there are times when you come in with dirty hands. And when my husband is working in the vineyard he’s guaranteed to need a good scrubbing.
Neither one of us has been very satisfied with using the liquid soaps we have at each sink for everyday washing. That’s when I started exploring options for post gardening and post vineyard work session clean ups.
This is one of the bars of Amish Farms in my soap dish. It’s going to last a long time.
Plain bar hand soap wasn’t working any better than liquid soaps and often required lathering up multiple times and a good scrubbing before either of us thought our hands felt really clean. So I started exploring options and found Amish Farms Handmade Bar Soap.
With this soap, which is made from all natural ingredients, one lathering does the trick — with no scrubbing. Plus it’s pretty inexpensive and the bars are BIG — it’s going to last for a long time.
I’ve yet to try this as a shampoo but I do intend to try that next.
Although there are some negative reviews on the Amazon site about the soap we’ve had not problems with it and I love it for my (very) sensitive skin as well as it’s cleaning properties and neutral scent. However I urge you to read all the reviews before you buy.
