Mister M   1,575 #1 Posted August 4, 2022 I'm sure most of you remember the green Fairy soap bars that your Mum might have kept under the sink to get the collars on your school shirts nice and clean. Well Fairy don't make those bars anymore! I have some Co-op own brand household soap, but I'm down to my last bar. I've been all over Sheffield today, Co-op, Aldi, and Sainsburys, and nothing. Has anyone bought any household soap bars recently, and if so, where did you buy them from? Thanks in advance.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

silverglade5   22 #4 Posted August 5, 2022 I wasn't aware there was a problem with soap. I bought a multi bar block of Dove soap from Tesco Abbeydale Road recently, no problem. Maybe I was lucky! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

You wouldn't want to wash the collars of your shirts, or the under arms of your T shirt with Dove soap. Perhaps toilet soap will work as well....

Thanks in advance.  if the likes of Wilkos and Savers in town don't have them then most large Asian supermarkets definitely stock them. For example Hamza supermarket in Page Hall definitively stock these soaps. Come in the green and pink variety. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I think household soap has different ingredients to toilet soap. Household soap has things like enzymes in, toilet soap is more for cleaning / caring for skin with things like moisturisers in. 1 hour ago, *Wallace* said: Poundstretcher had a yellow bar of Sunlight soap think it was £1:25 this was a few weeks ago.
