There are chunks of stainless steel shaped like bars of soap that you can buy right now on the internet or at stores and people use them to "wash" their hands

And there's endless posts on the internet about how this magically or scientifically works, even though it absolutely does not, and there are endless and bitter bitter bitter words that have been exchanged between strangers on this subject

What the hell is wrong with people??

I don’t have one of the steel soaps I’ve just noticed that if you rub your otherwise clean but garlic-smelling hands on stainless steel it gets rid of the smell.

yeah imo it works, you can just do it with a ss butter knife under running water

i only said it is dubious because official research says so, I know for a fact that it works decently well

i guess the possible mechanism is the chromium oxide layer adsorbing sulfuric compounds and then being slaked away

It doesn’t clean your hands, it just neutralizes the smell.

You can get the same effect by running your hands along the basin of the sink itself assuming it’s also made of stainless steel.

This. I used to use one and it worked better than just soap, but still left *some* garlic/onion smell. You still use soap, but you then run the metal bar over your hands with the soap, then again after rinsing. It's supposed to work using ions.

I then just switched to a product called "Kitchen by Upper Canada" because it was a lot easier, but it isn't made any more, so now I just use Softsoap "Kitchen Fresh Hands".

Why not accrue (and sell if you're evil) a collection of such non-organic special purpose metal "soaps". e.g. Copper for onion smell, aluminium for pussy/smegma smell, radium for washing off 5G radiation*.


*Sadly, many of the quack products being sold with claims they actually do this or similar are in fact radioactive themselves. :gonk:
