A PAIR of enterprising brothers are set to clean up with a miracle healing soap formula.

For eight years, Eric and Albert Rutter, from Trimdon, County Durham, had been making soap in their garage until ex-bricklayer Eric, 51, stumbled upon the soap almost by accident when he decided to make a floating soap.

He gave it to friends and family and was amazed when one woman said it had helped clear her psoriasis.

Eric and A1bert, 54, set about trying to identify the properties in the soap and began marketing their product.

They were surprised when customers inundated them with calls that the soap had cured skin complaints, including eczema and acne.

One of their success stories is seven-year-old Amy Hurst who began using the soap when she was four after all other creams and medication failed to work.

The youngster, from Hartlepool, developed chronic psoriasis when she was three.

Her mum, Deborah, heard about the Rutter brothers' soap from a friend.

She said: "Someone recommended it to my dad and we thought we would give it a try as nothing else was working.

" I was sceptical at first, but I gave it a go.

"We were amazed - within a few weeks we could see a major improvement."

The brothers were inundated with orders and have now moved to new premises to cope with demand.
