No, not soap operas of the Inland Northwest. The stuff that keeps you clean. Thankfully it's not all that hard to keep clean from locally produced soaps and cleansers. Here are some of the Spokane area products we've discovered.
Bar Soaps: Mountain Madness Soaps has some great bar soaps manufactured in Spokane Valley. Jennifer's soaps are available at the Hayden Saturday Farmers' Market and occasionally at the Millwood Farmers' Market.
Shampoo: We've been using a Lavender shampoo from Garden Gate Farm in Medical Lake. It's available at the Saturday Spokane Farmers' Market.
Hand Soap: We're using hand soap from Liesure Lavender Farm in Otis Orchards available at the Saturday Liberty Lake Farmers' Market.
Cleaning Solution: This has been harder to find but Nancy just found MaidNaturally products, made in Spokane and available at Yokes. She really likes the glass cleaner.
Stay tuned on this. We haven't run out of deodorant yet. I've been really nursing mine.
In other news I've used the same razor blade for six months. I've got one more in the cartridge so I figure I'm good to go on that.

Check out Greencastle soap. They're here in Spokane (on Stone St.) and their soaps are lovely.
