Wright's Coal Tar Soap

mink35

Years ago my dad used to buy Wrights coal tar soap and I hated using it when we went to stay (divorced parents!). He swore by it tho so I persuaded him to buy the Spring Fresh fragrance. Does anyone know if you can still get this? I've seen the ordinary coal tar soap but not the spring fresh one. ;D

Asda in Luton had some last week - I had to pick it up to have a quick sniff!!

Don't think I'll give up on Lifebouy carbolic, just yet!!

It's not that bad! ;D My dad used to use it originally 'cos he was a miner. Then when he gave that up as a bad job he just carried on using it as it's really good at mucky hands! I want it to stop my hubby and son using cr@ppy swarfega and leaving trails of it in my bathroom! Can't be doing with the original smell tho that's why I wanted Spring Fresh! Will try Asda now.

Seem to remember Cathy posted a thread on homemade Swafega somewhere.....

Found it

the homemade swarfega is brilliant, especially on car/bike oil. i had to fix chain on the kids bike at weekend, and it came straight off with it.

Thanks Galtizz - but it will stink of turps which is one of the reasons I want the nice soap!

i put a bit of lavender oil in mine, makes it smell better.
