I keep all my soap pieces too, and I don't see what that wouldn't work. It's worth a try. A liquid soap probably would have been easier to use than the bar, which I had to rub all over the curtains.

I know that there are some things that a detergent cleans well. But other things just don't seem to budge.

Thanks for the suggestion. Let me know if you try it and it works.
