Clothes are wool, wool is hair, shampoo is for washing hair!   %^)

Like Moni, the only soap/detergent I carry is a shampoo.
I prefer the generic baby shampoo/body wash.   If available,
I sometimes use soap for non-wool clothing and myself.  But
I *always* use the baby wash for my wool items.

For  my pan, spoon, cup, and bowl, I usually don't need
any soap.  I scrape, rinse, repeat, until they are clean then
air dry.  If I'm boiling water, I sanitize my spoon, cup and
bowl by dipping or pouring boiling water over them.

I don't generally cook anything that has a lot of grease
or would require scrubbing.  But If I did, I would carry a
Scotch-Bright pad and use a small about of baby wash
to help cut the grease.
