Even though people are busy surviving after SHTF doesn't mean they don't want to stay clean! Personal and home hygiene are important and will become in high demand, which is why learning how to make soap, tampons, cleaning supplies, and the like are all trades you should take the time to familiarize yourself.
For example, if you decide you'd like to make soap, read up and learn what it takes to not only make soap on a regular basis but what supplies you'll need to put in your survival storage area.

In a post-collapse market, people will have to adjust to a different status quo with regards to their personal and home hygiene. Yet, the fact remains that we will still need to wash our homes, our clothes, and ourselves. Learning to make soap and other cleaners is not difficult. It is probably the easiest when compared with the other trades suggested, but it takes practice. Something else to think about if soaping is in your future is your long-term source of fats and oils, essential in soapmaking. Expand your production capabilities by storing the necessary items to make other necessities like toothpaste or salves.
Know anyone who loves electronics? Electronics repair is another trade that would be wise to learn — find out what items you should obtain now so you can make this your chosen trade in the future.
