Once an essential item in every household carbolic soap was used from personal hygiene to a whole range of household uses.
Carbolic soap is a mild disinfectant which contains carbolic acid, an extract of coal tar.
The soap was once the disinfectant of choice in operating theatres, hospitals, schools or in and around the home and has been distributed to disaster victims around the world for routine hygiene by the Red Cross and other relief organisations.
Carbolic soap comes in 900g (2lb) blocks which can be sliced as required.
