Which is better for my drains, bar soap or shower gel?

Which is better for my drains, your bar soap or your shower gel? In other words, which makes less scum? Sorry for this bizarre question, but I can’t decide which one to purchase. Thanks.

Soap scum is a mixture of soap and minerals. Filtering your water will reduce the minerals. That’s probably the best way to avoid the issue. Clean soap scum with vinegar (acidic vinegar cleans alkaline soap), with Bon Ami the unscented scrubby cleaner, or with Liquid Sunshine nontoxic cleaner.

Best to order your soap products based on your skin type rather than how often you have to scrub the tub. Our organic bar soaps are for sensitive skin, especially dry sensitive skin. The soap based shower gels and body foams are for all but the most dry and sensitive skin types. And liquid castile soaps are for oily skin people. Look for the skin type graphic on our website and on many of our products.
