chound, this is ridiculous. Surely, you can use a search engine!
 
Its an old post that nobody bothered to answer. I answered because I was intrigued enough to find out for myself what Dettol soap was all about. 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...
