I alone used it, but used every bit, too. The mesh bags are good for making dishmops, too.

I'm the only one who uses it, as my wife think that it's gross. I have a friend whose grandfather would take that soap and put it in one of those red net bags that oranges used to come in and use it as a louffa.

He told me that it is true, that generally you can use half the amount of laundry detergent recommend on a package for a normal sized load of normally soiled laundry. The reason is that chemical surfactants and enzymes do the real work, but you don't need huge quantities of these chemicals to do most normal laundry jobs. Much of the material actually in laundry detergent consists of chemicals the carry scent, or that serve as fillers. I once knew a guy who was a chemist for Proctor and Gamble.
