I was told recently that most of these soaps do not work as well as we would think, its more of a marketing ploy than anything else. How can I find out about the science (and facts) for this?

I don't know about the science behind it but I do know that the excessive use of antibacterial products is the reason that antibiotics don't work as well as they could . I purposely buy nonantibacterial soaps for handwashing.

You are right in thinking that antibacterial soap help bacteria in developing resistance over years of use.
For one, the various ingredients in antibacterial soap that kills bacteria have been found to be harmful for human cells too. One such example is triclosan, which has been found to kill human cells.
Recent studies also found a link between the use of these antibacterial

That is marketing for you! I really hate how they overplay the bacteria in your home scenario with graphics that elicit disgust featured prominently in commercials for Lysol and disinfectants. Not only that they put you on a guilt trip… as they usually make these viruses and bacteria go on toys that a very cute baby would put into his or her mouth.
And now, I learned that they are

You really learn something new everyday!
Thanks for these discussions.
I really thought that we were doing ourselves a favor by being overly clean. I know better now.

I really didn't think that my use of anti-bacterial soaps is helping bacteria develop resistance! Thanks for these I will tone down on my use of anything anti-bacterial.

What I know is that baby soap is the best bacterial soap. Also, soap for toes, those with fungal problems can be considered as good anti-bacterial soap.

Antibiotics meds (generic amoxil) are very effect than anti bactrerial soap.. As bacteria need cells to survive and build cells for themselves,
Amoxil thwarts the bacteria from multiplying by preventing the
formation of cell walls around them, thus making them perish.

I don't use antibacterial soap and I am as healthy as the next person. I don't get bacterial infections and I seldom get sick. I think the fuss about antibacterial soap is just commercial promotions. Our forebears did not use it and they had fewer sickness then.

According me Cuticura Antibacterial Bar is best soaps. This pure and good non-comedogenic cleansing method contains appropriate non-drying capacity to deep clean. It is designed to provide excellent germ protection for the whole family.
