I can easily believe Dr. Bronner's would do that. That stuff is really harsh, in spite of what it says on the label. We used to wash our floors with it, but that's about all. We bring Biokleen All Purpose Cleaner for biking and hiking. It's a surfactant rather than a detergent or soap. Works great for everything. We usually do our laundry with the shampoo provided when we stop at a hotel or pension, using the wind-the-towel technique. We also bring Tegrin shampoo for private part washing - actually I wash my whole body with it. Best anti-saddle sore treatment there is.
