Why not use antibacterial soap instead of NON-antibacterial soap? Wouldn’t it be even more effective?

The implication of antibacterial soap is that it contains antibiotics, which leads to resistance in bacterial populations. Non-antibacterial soap is a misnomer, it is plenty effective against bacteria, but kills the bacteria mechanically.
