Dial Antibacterial Soap revelation?

Wanna through this out there. Maybe you'll think I'm crazy, ... I dunno. I do deliveries on my bike and I wear the same clothes most days. I just hand wash everything and re-wear it the next day. I don't like to smell bad, so I go scorched earth. Green sensibilities be damned, I want to smell like a rose even if I've been riding all day. To achieve this I used to use bleach. But, bleach fades or stains everything eventually, no matter how durable and colorfast. Thinking of a way around this, it occurred to me to try hand-washing my clothes with Dial anti-bacterial hand soap. Works f-ing amazing. Clothes get super clean and smell fresh all day. I don't think I'd do it with cotton, but with synthetic fibers I think it's fine. Then, it further occurred to me that this could be something of a revelation for bike touring. You could keep a small plastic container of Dial and use it to wash both your body and your cycling clothes.

Figured I'd share...
