Squeaky Clean

Why is it that hotel soaps tend to leave a water-resistant coating on your skin, instead of washing you like they're supposed to? This seems to happen regardless of water hardness, from Anaheim to San Francisco to Vancouver to London.

Even the nice hotels have soaps that exhibit these qualities. For a nice hotel, would you not hope that all products bearing your name provide a comfortable shower and cleansing experience? (Apparently not.)

It's almost as if your skin were being waxed and that would keep you from getting dirty as easily. Children should have a wax spray like that before they go out to play.
