I just finished a particularly exhausting class for the year.
And thought "Calgon, take me away."
Then I remembered, "Ancient chinese secret."
So what was it, two different products? Corrosive laundry soap, or luxurious bath oil? Never saw Calgon in my house, growing up.
A forgotten riddle from my youth.

Actually, it wasn't a laundry soap or detergent, but a brand. The original product was / is a water softening agent, that removes calcium from water (Calcium Gone). Removing the calcium helps detergents work better. It later branched into a line of bath oils and beauty products -- does anyone remember Calgon bath beads? Then the different Calgon products were sold off to different companies.
I remember my Mom having a box of Calgon water softener in the laundry room, right next to the bottle of Sta-Flo liquid starch. The bath beads were in the bathroom, of course, but I don't remember anyone ever using them.

I LOVED Calgon in the TUB !
Now we use Vaseline Bathe beads , I like Ocean Breeze.
A cup of Baking Soda in the tub takes me away also ;)

I remember my Mom using Epsom salts in baths a lot when I was a kid, too. They sound so old-fashioned, but they are supposedly good for sore muscles. They are just magnesium sulfate.
Palmolive: After all of those years hawking Palmolive dishwashing liquid, I heard that Madge started doing commercials for Depends undergarments. But she still used the same slogan: You're soaking in it now! :P

Somehow I was thinking this was a thread about bath salts (http://bathsaltsdrugs.com/) :-X
But thanks for the memories about Calgon, Palmolive, and ancient chinese secrets.
