Laundry soap is a simple and affordable product that can be useful to a summer resident in many cases.

An example is a solution prepared from grated soap and unburned wood residue.

This liquid is excellent at dealing with cabbage butterflies and other pests.

The owner of a country house can use laundry soap for preliminary hand treatment.

There is no need to wash off the layer that has formed on your palms. After some time, the soap traces will harden.

Effect of the procedure

The shell that appears on the hands as a result of soaping can be called a protective layer.

During gardening, much less dirt will appear on the skin.

Thus, the gardener is relieved of the need to wear gloves.

Of course, this product partially protects hands from dirt. But sometimes the fabric still ceases to be a barrier for soil and debris. The soap layer protects the skin much better.
