Dettol and Savlon

Don’t know if anyone else does this, but I put a wee touch of Dettol or Savlon in my shower gel when I buy it as I tend to be prone to getting cuts and scrapes. I could use TCP, but it has a very strong smell that not everyone likes. I myself love the smell of TCP and also sheep dip for that matter. When I was going to Milford VEC, (back in the last century) it would not be uncommon for students to have sheep dip on there cloths as we were a rural farming community and also we did not have a school uniform. Just to confirm, the Milford VEC is a secondary school in Co. Donegal, for students between 12 and 18 years old. Sheep dip is just one of those things that is hard to get rid of as the cloths could be washed several times, but still hold onto the smell. Pity the washing powder companies couldn’t come up with a formula that would stay on your cloths and smell nice wash after wash. I think they should look into sheep dip. Then again, maybe we are far too used to nice smells and we don’t notice them anymore. Most if not all people use deodorants and fragrant soap and also mouth wash. I remember reading an article about Japan and how the Japanese people could tell someone from the western world as we all had a particular smell. It was to do with the amount of meat and dairy that we eat, were as the Japanese tend to eat fish and rice based dishes. Supposedly, if you eat raw celery and parsley, it improves your natural body odour. But then again, with all the deodorants and scented soaps we use, we may not even notice it. ANYWAYS, back to the Dettol and Savlon. I also put a wee touch in my washing up liquid to kill any germs that are on the cups and plates. I just don’t understand why the washing up liquid manufactures don’t include an antiseptic disinfectant in there products as it has been proven that the average dishcloth has more germs than a toilet seat. Could be onto a new product here. But then again, we all need germs in our life. The other reason for me putting disinfectant in my washing liquid is the fact that I am a procrastinator so typically I put off doing the dishes. Yeah! You guessed it. I’m going off now to do the dishes and clean up a wee bit. I’m also going to make some dinner, although there isn’t very much in the house. I bought a small bacon joint a few weeks ago in Dunn’s and took it out of the freezer last night. The only thing is I don’t have any vegetables. Although, I do have some Aldi powdered potatoes which is really nice if you put some natural yogurt in it. It tastes like mashed potatoes with sour cream. I’m convinced, some restaurants do the same thing as it really is lovely. Anyway, I better go and do my dishes and when I have them done I will try and work on my portfolio.
