That says Toilet Soap is any soap used domestically for cleaning. So liquid soap is toilet soap. What do you mean by it?
>Soap is created by mixing fats and oils with a base, as opposed to detergent which is created by combining chemical compounds in a mixer.
Under toilet soap:
> In a domestic setting, "soap" usually refers to what is technically called a toilet soap, used for household and personal cleaning.
I'm not sure if that also includes detergent like dish detergent, but it's certainly not non-toilet soap.
Under non-toilet soap:
> Soaps are key components of most lubricating greases and thickeners. Greases are usually emulsions of calcium soap or lithium soap and mineral oil.[5] Many other metallic soaps are also useful, including those of aluminium, sodium, and mixtures thereof. Such soaps are also used as thickeners to increase the viscosity of oils. In ancient times, lubricating greases were made by the addition of lime to olive oil.[6]
> METALLIC SOAPS ARE COMPOUNDS OF ALKALINE metals or heavy metals and monobasic carboxylic acids containing from 7 to 22 carbon atoms. The water-insoluble metallic soaps are of particular interest to the coatings industry, although potassium and lithium soaps have limited water solubility.
They can also be lubricants for machines and you don't want to use any of this for cleaning anything at home.
