This is an all rounder for cleaning floors, scrubbing the sink and cooker, what a good all rounder, the smell is clean and earthy not a chemically artificial smell as other shop bought cleaners are. Will definitely buy again!
I use this for everything! It cleans everything so well - floors, surfaces, grills anything you want. I have bought this for a couple of years and wouldn't be without it. Just love the smell too. Love Fer a Cheval!
The bottle lable warns of potential eye or skin irritation, and its blackish colour and phenolic aroma are equally daunting. HOWEVER... I recently used this soap to mop-wash wooden parquet floors and linoleum in my home. I say, with hand on heart, that I have never had such good results from any other floor cleaners, and I go back a long, long way. The cleaned floors looked spotless, with a hint of coal tar scent in the air as they dried. Of course, I followed the dilution and usage instructions exactly. I shall try out this soap with some of the other suggested uses, as it seems clear that it's of the same superb quality as the traditional green olive oil soap. The green for personal hygiene, the black for cleanliness arouind the home. This is the way soap is supposed to be. I can't think of using any other soap from now on. I say this as an ordinary, private online customer, and have no other affiliation with the suppliers.
Wonderfully versitile. have diluted this to spray on house plants as an insecticide.
Trying to cut down on cleaning products, I found this black soap and started using it for different purposes! I’ve made a mixture for washing up liquid, a cleaning spray and a laundry liquid. All work really well, and you only need a small amount! Very economical. Everything feels nice and clean without overpowering scent (I like the smell, but can imagine it’s not for everyone. But for me so much better than heavily perfumed products.) Would definitely recommend :)
I just love the smell of black soap. I have bought 2 now. It cleans everything. I use it to wash floors, clean the cooker, clean the car...just about anything. It makes everything clean and smells wonderfully clean!
Excellent product.
I love this stuff. It smells amazing and does a great job. I dilute it and put it in my robot hoover/mop. A much nicer product than some of the super glupey stuff that I have purchased in the past.
