Metal soap - what is it and how to apply it

A shiny metal thing in shape resembling a piece of real soap is increasingly found in hardware stores and is ordered on Asian internet sites. Such "soap" can be a variety of geometric shapes( oval, square, triangle, rectangle).

But what is a metal soap, you ask, and what is this miracle remedy made of? In most cases this is a piece of oval shape, in size corresponds to the usual soap( 5x9 cm), which makes it as comfortable as possible for use. Surprisingly, the weight of soap is only 50-70 grams, and all because there is a void inside it. Since the soap is made of stainless steel by stamping, not casting, as you might think, it should have joint seams, but they will not harm the skin of your hands, as they are thoroughly polished. To the touch, the soap has a smooth surface, and it's nice to use.

Principle of operation and purpose of the metal soap

Have you heard or, perhaps, noticed in everyday life that stainless steel objects help to wash off persistent odors from the skin? And to get rid of stale unpleasant odor on the hands, it is enough to rub any warm object with warm water( spoon, stick, tubule), consisting of the corresponding metal. For our comfort and more convenient use of stainless steel, when eliminating unwanted aromas, scientists invented a metal soap. Next, consider in more detail the specific application of such soap.

As you may have guessed, a metal soap is used to remove an unpleasant odor that has absorbed into the skin of the hands. What is the principle of the operation of such an invention and what is its uniqueness? There is nothing supernatural about this, everything is logically and simply explained with the help of science. There is information that the chemical composition of onions, garlic, fish and tobacco includes organic acids, which are the main cause of irritation of the nasal mucosa and eyes, and it is thanks to these organic compounds that we feel an unpleasant smell.

From the scientific point of view, the soap acts like this: a metal alloy reacts with the sulfoxides( organic acids) inactivating these very molecules, and as a result, the unpleasant odor disappears.

Instructions for use

Do not forget that soap from stainless steel is not a cleansing, fat-dissolving and antibacterial agent, so if you need to get rid of dirt or grease, you should use toilet or liquid soap.

Cleaning hands takes only a couple of minutes. The whole point of the procedure is the contact of wet hands with stainless steel, this is necessary in order for the alloy to enter a neutralization reaction with organic acids. The procedure should be repeated if the odor proved more resistant and did not disappear.
3. In order to achieve maximum efficiency, it is not recommended to wash your hands with any detergent( soap, gel, powder) at the same time as a metallic soap. And it is worth understanding that, despite its name, this soap does not soap and does not foam.
