You are correct. Soap compromises the exterior membrane of most microbes, destroying them. Or it denatures a lot of their vital proteins.

This is why I’ve sworn off “anti-bacterial” cleaning products. Soap is good enough and doesn’t “train” them to be stronger microbes.

Absolutely. I never use antibacterial soap. It kills off too many of our good bacteria, too. I did, however, recently purchase a bottle of old fashioned lysol disinfectant. The stuff with phenol in it. Very popular among housewives, when I was a kid.
