After, being told I was positive for MRSA, the most important direction given to me was to use Dial Antibacterial Soap.

I was in my kitchen cooking one day and went to clean a tomato- I looked at the tomato and I looked at my bottle of liquid Dial and washed that beautiful tomato with it. I thought if it's good enough for me , it's good enough for the mater, right?

Then , I wondered what other uses my soap could provide for me.

That brings us here to this article on the other uses for soap besides showering, bathing & washing hands!
