I just knew you lot would SOLVOL my cleaning problems!

Even though some brands are unfamiliar to me, it's amazing how many seem to be cosmopolitan. I guess the big soap companies were among the first "internationals" - I know that many small NZ soap-makers got LEVERed out in the sixties.

And what a bonus from Metchosin - pass on my thanks to pa-in-law - I've loved Granny's Lye Soap since I was a kid, and helped my Granny's sister make the product in the "copper" (big wood-fired wash boiler).

Keep up the good work folks

Cheers - Sam
