An Improved Cleansing MateriaÌ.
1, HORACE EVERETT WALTER, of 10 Tunstall Road Brixton, in the 'County
of Surrey Electrician do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows
My invention has reference to an improved cleansing material or fibrous soap.
It is well known that toilet and other soaps in the ordinary condition are neither
economical nor rapidly efficacious when employed for cleansing the hands of
operatives and artisans, or of others whose employment is of a nature which involves
soiling the hands to a very considerable degree.
The feature of my invention consists in incorporating with toilet or other soaps
of the ordinary kind other material, preferably hair, curled or otherwise, or wool,
in suitable proportions. Or in place of the hair employ vegetable fibre. The
mixture of soap and hair, wool, or other fibre as above described is better adapted
for detergent purposes such as those hereinabove specified than is soap in the
ordinary condition. The said soap and hair may be compounded in any desirable
proportions by suitable methods at a convenient stage in the manufacture of the
soap or cakes or portions of soap in its ordinary condition may have the hair or
other fibre applied thereto by any suitable means.
