Saponins within this plant have long been valued as a cleanser for all manner of things from skin to metals, hence the common name, Bouncingbet, as this was an old fashioned name for a washer woman. Also known as Soapwort, a lather can be produced if you rub the leaves between your hands.
Though considered toxic the Dutch used it to give a better head to beer and saponins are still used for that purpose today.
