*NOT* any of the anti-bacterial soaps.

In fact, don't use these at home either. They don't kill pathogens,
but they do kill all the beneficial micro-organisms that we depend on
to break down all the stuff in waste water.

They certainly shouldn't be used on boats... kills the good bacteria in

tank option. I guess I could go the route of Neal and not use soap but there
are times when it would be a bene. Someone in an RV group recommended this
product:
