No, disinfectant soap was not banned in the 1950s. It was phosphate-based synthetic detergents that caused environmental concern at that time. While not specifically banned, government investigation into the environmental impact of these detergents led to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1956 (also known as the Clean Water Act).References:Encyclopedia of Business: Soap and Other Detergents, Except Specialty Cleaners – Industry SnapshotU.S.
