You might want to get that bar of soap OUT of your shower...

If you’d rather have less soap scum and fewer clogged drains in your shower, lose the bar soap! 

Mary Findley, author of “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Green Cleaning,” says most commercial brands of bar soap are made of substances that stick to surfaces like the walls, door, floor and drain of your shower. That residue builds up over time, especially in the drain where you can’t see it. If you switch to liquid soap or use a glycerin-based bar in the shower, you’ll eliminate that problem and some of that scrubbing in between showers.
