Keep the curvy bottles, refill them with this: http://www.elysiandream.com/supermild_liquid_soap.htm<BR/>It's got an even better rating than Dr. Bronner's soap. And if you clean with vinegar/water, the vinegar will knock out the soap despite the hard water. Thanks, Mary! I should have known that marketing was too good to be true! I looked up all the ingredients in the "Go Naked" hand wash which is what we've been using and there were a # of ingredients with moderate health concerns. I'd prefer to use something that's top ranked, why not?JessTrevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11000531822628182708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-385946709718073962.post-59739987412653266382007-11-20T11:08:00.000-05:002007-11-20T11:08:00.000-05:00Mary,Tx, argh. http://www.treehugger.com/files/200...Mary,<BR/><BR/>Tx, argh. http://www.treehugger.com/files/2004/10/method_home_cle.php<BR/>Treehugger commentary not positive. Thanks for the heads up. We could use Dr. Bronner's to refill the pretty containers, but DC has hard water and it gets pretty gnarly to use soap. Any other ideas out there? Guess it's back to bar soap indeed.JessTrevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11000531822628182708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-385946709718073962.post-16272616158251794662007-11-20T10:51:00.000-05:002007-11-20T10:51:00.000-05:00I've seen a lot of skepticism online about the "gr...I've seen a lot of skepticism online about the "greenness" of Method products.

My child is pretty fond of the whole pumping it out thing -- and actually I just read an article that said that bar soap can breed bacteria if it's old and cracked or collects water. So just make sure you have a soap dish that drip dries if you know what I mean? As for Method refills, drugstore.com and methodhome.com have the 34oz bags for sale singly and it looks like Amazon used to have cases of 6 hard plastic bottles but they're unavailable. I think Method must be phasing those out. It is all a little silly, though, agreed. Surely we can just keep our soapcakes dry!

Do you know where I can get refills in the city? Or online? Also, I wonder if it's more enviro to just use bar soap (altho I admit I hate the muck in the soap dish). I feel a little silly burning fuel to drive to a big box store to buy plastic-encased soap OR asking someone else to burn fuel to bring it to my doorstep.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09575172683862762880noreply@blogger.com
