I was working on a history of soap making. I would like to know :
1. What did people, especially in India use before soaps came into existence, for cleaning the body and clothes and surroundings etc..?
2. How did soap making become a commercial practice?
I would also love to know anything more about the history of soap making.
Answer:Good questions! Unfortunately, I have no idea as to the answers.
Good luck,
