I love the drain cleaner idea and will try it soon since they are ingredients I can actually get.

Our water is very hard, and liquid soaps here rinse much cleaner on the hands than bar soaps, so I imagine the same is true for laundry (perhaps mis-guidedly).

Related; I found an interesting alternative to ~~commercial~~ conventional toothpaste:

Ipsab® Herbal Treatment

If you investigate further the "prickly ash bark" ingredient is important, but inbetween uses (and a major component of the IPSAB) is just salt and baking soda in equal quantities.

I'd like to get some of the powder, since powder toothpaste has basically disappeared but would now be very convenient for travelers faced with the exaggerated gel/liquids ban.
