In summary, the full form of TCC found in Dettol soaps is N-(4-chlorophenyl)-N'-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)urea triclocarbanilide. This information was found through a search engine and also confirmed by a user on a forum. It is not a commonly known fact and may not be useful for school work.

I probably shouldn't have bothered but I thought that it would be of little practical (school) use to him/her by this time so I didn't feel like I was doing homework for someone.

And my Merck was right there on the shelf...
