I received one institutional-sized container of green soap in the mail
today:

Bad, huh? Don't let pharmacists tell you any differently: They're
still making and using this stuff by the tank-car load.

What's a good price for a gallon?

$16.00, apparently:

o http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001CELT3K/ref=cm_rdp_product

They've cut the price a little since I ordered a couple of weeks ago.
Shipping to me was $9.00.

Other places get between $4.00:

o http://www.amazon.com/Green-Soap-Tincture-16-Oz/dp/B000R8K9B0

.... and $12.00 per *pint!*

o http://www.drugsdepot.com/store.php/drugsdepot/pd202643

.... which I think is about what retail stores used to charge for small
sizes. Most people could make do with a pint, but I put the stuff
full strength in pump dispensers around the house and carry it in a
squeeze bottle on camping trips, so I go through it. A gallon lasts
me at least two years. It's astringent, but it goes into solution
instantly and washes off cleanly. There's nothing quite like it.

Ain't Google a wonderful thing! I was able to find all kinds of MSDSs
for isocyanates that spec green soap for cleanup because these
chemicals react with water. Also instructions for foam insulation
equipment mention it. Who knew?

Then there's this ditty from the US Center for Disease Control:

o http://www.cdc.gov/noes/noes2/x5566occ.html

.... which purports to show industrial exposure to green soap by
occupation in the early 1980s. Back then tattoo parlors didn't rate.

So what's the deal? Is green soap supposed to be bad for you or something?
We used to use it all the time after they told us we couldn't wash our hands
in that cold cold methylene chloride anymore.
