Describe the attributes of a good wash soap.

Topic: Describe the attributes of a good wash soap.

Today there are many different brands of soap one can choose. There
are those that promise younger skin, while others offer a pleasing
scent. Some soaps are a solid bar, some are liquid and some come as a
powder . Also, the price range between the various types can be
surprisingly great. There seems to be no end to the varieties of soaps
that are being developed and marketed. How does one choose which
brand to buy and to use?
The first factor one considers is effectiveness as a cleanser. After
all the hype, a soap is supposed to clean human skin. If it fails in
this regard, a soap is of no value at all. In order to be considered
effective, soap must be able to remove many substances from skin.
These substances can be easily removed as in the case of simple dirt.
Some are more difficult like oil and stains. A good wash soap must be
able to handle many different types of dirt and soil to be considered
effective.
Second, a good wash soap must make one feel clean. Some use a nice
scent. This is unimportant. What is important is that you feel
clean. Having finished washing, one should not be able to feel soap
on one's body. In order to be a good wash soap, it must wash well but
then not leave any soapy residue.

NOTE: Only at the end did it occur to me that what you were asking for
was a requirements document. Instead, I wrote an opinion paper. As I
didn't know who the target audience for the paper is, I just picked
one.
