No soap for me either. PLUS, that stuff can get expensive. Some of it is about $35 a gallon. I would rather put that money towards SH. Some people say they do it to get rid of the bleach smell, but in the few years I have been washing I have not had one person say anything bad about the smell. The women who do comment on it say the outside smells like the inside when they clean, so I take that as a positive.
