Abstract
S oap has been used for cleansing and for washing clothes for what seems an eternity. In all major religions, cleanliness is considered next to godliness. Specific guidelines and instructions are set to maintain cleanliness in all sacred places. Cleanliness has also been a part of prayer and sometimes signifies purity of body and soul. For example, in the description of Herodotus (485-425 BCE), we see the details of the purification process and the requirements for the priestphysicians in the Temple of Amun at Kamak in Egypt during the reign of King Ramses (1113-1085 BCE): “Bathe in cold water twice a day and twice a night and cleansed mouth with natron” (a mixture of sodium bicarbonate and sodium carbonate). These rituals were done regularly, as they symbolized rebirth and rejuvenation.’ In nature, birds and animals regularly keep themselves clean in a variety of ways. Birds clean their feathers with their beaks and bathe in water. Dogs, cats, and cattle lick their bodies to clean themselves.
