also important that biodegradable soaps be rinsed over SOIL, not rock or
plants. It takes some time for the soap to break down (months), so if it’s
goes directly onto plants, it could affect them. If it’s over rock,
it does not break down effectively, and can wash out to water sources.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Or wet bandana, that you can rinse out daily in a stream, away from areas folks
will be gettting water.<br>

Please, Please Please, if you use soap in any way, even if it's
"biodegradable", use it at least 150 to 200 feet away from any
running water, or pooled water. Biodegradable soaps are still bad for the
water. Period.<br>
