Teach Soap

If someone you know has a coconut allergy that's serious (hospitalization-serious, not just "oh, I have a little bit of redness and a tiny bit of itching"), don't use Fels-Naptha, Ivory, or any laundry soap/detergent with coconut in it to wash their clothes, or any towels, face towels, washcloths; or especially dish towels, pot holders, linen napkins, or any other textiles used in the preparation or serving of their foods. The phrase "I told you I was allergic and you said I was safe in your home" will continue to be uttered at ever possible opportunity for years to come.

I have very hard water. Neither solid nor liquid handmade soap works for me. It leaves a residue on the inside of the washer, even with a vinegar rinse and the clothes come out a little dingy.
