A mum-of-two has divided opinion by revealing how she keeps her skin 'fresh' by have a bath with Dettol in once a week.
Laura Nicholls, from Bridgend, Wales, posted the unusual tip on the Facebook cleaning hacks group Mrs Hinch Made Me Do it.
She even confesses to occasionally giving her eight-year-old son a wash in the household disinfectant - which can be used to clean floors, loos and sinks - if he gets especially filthy.
The 33-year-old says simply adding two capfuls of Dettol Antiseptic Disinfectant liquid, which costs just £3, into her bath water leaves her with a refreshing feeling you 'won't beat'.
"Does anyone else bath in Dettol? Makes u feel so fresh I love it Lol," she said when sharing her top tip online.
"It cleans grazes and it's really refreshing - I love a Dettol bath - you won't beat it."
She later told Mail Online that she also uses the formula to help her son get clean "if he's been out playing and gets filthy, or grazes his knees and elbows."
While some group members were horrified by the suggestion and say the smell reminds them of mopping, others admitted to also being fans of the hack.
"It stinks! Not a chance!", wrote one.
"Wouldn’t like to bath in Dettol who would want to smell off Dettol certainly not me I use it on my floors," said another.
However, one fellow enthusiast posted: "Love a capful in the bath. Makes the whole of upstairs smell super clean and is great for healing after a baby or operation."
Others were incredulous, with one woman commenting: "Twenty-seven years on this earth and I have never heard of people bathing in Dettol - is this actually a thing?"
Other mums raised concerns about safety.
However, Dettol's website states that the antiseptic can be added to bathing water to clean germs, and is safe as long as it is diluted.
It can also be used to treat pimples and dandruff , as well as to treat cuts, grazes, bites and stings.
The brand says its disinfectant liquid kills 100 illness-causing germs when added to bath water, and has added aloe vera which is "gentle on skin".
