For a long time the benefits of using antibacterial soap instead of plain soap and water has been debated. Does antibacterial soap really clean better? Is it really necessary to kill bacteria with a specialized soap? Is it harmful in the long run?

Read the entire study here for more technical aspects to this concern and see what manufacturers of products containing Triclosan are doing or plan on doing in the months and years ahead.
