Wash cloth with soft soap (7)
I believe the answer is:
flannel
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'wash cloth' is the first definition.
'soft soap' is the second definition.
(both can mean flattery)
'with' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for flannel that I've seen before include "used for washing face" , "Fabric; bland talk" , "Cloth; evasive talk" , "cooler if wet?" , "Facecloth - soft soap" .)
