Selling some of these in the for sale section if anyone is interested :)

Very highly rated by American carpet cleaners so it might be worth giving it ago.

Sunlight Soap was the equivalent in the UK, Mike - though I'm not sure if you can still even get that  :-\.   Guess carbolic soap is the closest

A selfless act of kindness :D :D

I'm in Florida now and I've bought a few bars for my own use, I've been asked by a couple of lads I know to bring them 1 or 2  of bars so thought I would  bring in a few more to give others a try, to see why the Americans swear by it

I'm asking  £10 for it to make up for the hassle of the P&P.

Reading more about it I think it has a solvent in it that makes it good on oily stain

I believe as Mike has allutted to, it is (and always has been) a terrific Industrial bar Soap for laundry purposes.

I ordered 10 bars from eBay a while ago it's Ok but prefer diluted ultapac for general spotting, maybe I'm using it wrong? Can be a little harsh on wool and needs a bloody good rinse.

Your probably right, you do that.

But anyone who can see the problem with that might find this bar handy
