    Versatile Household & Personal Soap

    Used a robust wire cheese cutter to cut up into a 500 gram block which I grated up about 50 grams to dissolve in 1 litre of hot water to make a laundry detergent solution which I have now used on both cotton whites and synthetics to very good effect. Using the remainder of the off cut for hand washing and cleaning counter tops. This 2 kg block should last 2-3 years.

    Lovely clean smell

    I'm still learning the right way to prepare this as a laundry liquid. I had read different instructions online about using hot water and stirring it, leaving it overnight and it gels up. However, when I followed the instructions on the back of the bag (20g flakes to 1 litre hot water), the solution did not gel up; it did, however, clean my clothes well. I've really enjoyed how fresh the laundry comes out. I do with there was a way to amplify and add this glorious clean aroma, but I'm not sure it's possible to capture the natural clean into the format of a scent booster. To that end, I am still using scent booster beads, but I ran a wash of towels with just this, some vinegar and some baking soda, and the towels just smelt fresh, with no odours. I'm still figuring out the right recipe for everything, but I really enjoy these flakes.

    I've been reading other reviews on similar products and it seems like a lot of people do not go back after converting to soap flake wash. I feel like I'm genuinely being pulled in this direction. I still have oxygen bleach for my brights. I haven't ventured into a white wash with this yet, but I think it is only a matter of time before I do. :)

    soap on a rope

    We all love this soap. It smells like a holiday in Greece and stays dry due to being hung up all the time. It lathers well and leaves skin feeling clean but not stripped dry

    Cleans like a dream

    I'm now a convert to using this soap for washing dishes. It cleans like a dream. I had a little bit of cooked on oil at the bottom of mt frying pan and after a soak and a gentle scrub with Savon de Marseille and it was gone. The stainless steel sink gleams after the washing up is done too. My hands are getting softer and less crepey since ditching the washing up liquid which is another bonus.

    Traditional Savon de Marseille

    This is now my go to soap. I only purchased the 600g block a couple of weeks ago, and have already used it to hand wash clothes, clean a spill on a rug, and wash the kitchen floor. It has worked brilliantly in each case. I will be purchasing more.
