Soap

I found this at the grocery store today and couldn't resist buying it, just for interest. It is a bar of laundry soap. I guess it would be used if you were doing your washing by hand (many Chinese people do) and you rubbed it directly on the clothes as you scrubbed them. It cost 1 yuan, 8 jio, which is less than a quarter. I think we can use it for spotting clothes before putting them in the washing machine.
