It does make my hands wrinkly though, if I immerse them in it. I try not to use anything with toxic substances in, i.e. All our shampoos, shower stuff, soap etc., is paraben free and SLS and SLES free. I use Ecover stuff for the whites, and soap nuts for everything else. I don't use any fabric softener only essential oils. I also have Ecover washing up stuff on the rare occasion I don't use the melamine pads. Other than that, I just use microfibre cloths and hot water. Thank you for all the info on it.

My mother was against it because she reckoned it rotted the clothes in clothes washing, but she used detergents which we now find have health problems. They were new then, and she would even put them in the bath. Oh well. However, my grandmother, up in the farm in the mountains, used washing soda to wash the dishes, and the water was then put in the slops bucket that the calf feed was made up with. I can't really think that it is particularly toxic, then. I did try to find out about it some years ago. -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
