i thought most modern "soap" is detergent which leaves no residual film like
the real "soap"? yes?

Really, plain water is all that's necessary for regular maintenance [snip]


i'm pretty sloppy about cleaning anyway so i rarely flush. when i do, i mostly
use water, because of the reason you pointed out (very hard to completely
rinse out --- all the bubbles

KIS?
