So there is Soda Ashes (Na2CO3) in game. With adding Limestone similar to Slaked Lime (Ca(OH)2) and heat the mixture hot enough in a kiln you can get rid of some CO2. You could end up with something like Natriumhydroxid (NaOH).

I know it is similar to glass making. But bare with me. I want Natriumhydroxid.

If you add Water to Natriumhydroxid you have half of the soap making process. Add some oil, let it set and you have a soap bar.

So i thought maybe instead of letting clothes decay they could be washed to reset the timer on the decay.

And with something like a washboard we could clean the clothes:

Cool idea. One bar should last quite a few washes too!

i guess one soap should wash one set of clothing, like 5 pieces. or maybe 2 sets of clothing = 10 pieces.

a set would be: hat, top, bottom and 2 shoes.
