A word of caution to people who have hard water (like the water from our well): soap combines with the minerals in hard water to produce a scummy substance.

The scum leaves a film on the shower door and sink and I'm sure it would leave a scum on pearls as well! (We had to stop using soap and switch to shower gels.)

If your water is hard, stick to the mild liquid shampoo rather than the soap flakes.
