    Lovely soapflakes

    I have been using some of your other laundry soap very successfully. Then I thought I would try the olive oil laundry flakes and they are even better. I'm still working out the best proportion of flakes to (boiling) water but so far all my laundry is spotless and smells fresh. So, thank you French Soaps. Just love your products.

    Always excellent

    I love this soap. I have the huge 600gm cube on my bath tub but this is handy for the sink. It doesn't even irritate my very sensitive face. You can use it for washing face, body, hair, clothes, teeth, dishes, leather, just about anything you can think of. It has an almost tarry smell which I really like. I prefer this 100% olive oil soap to the 72% olive oil soap Fer a Cheval makes. Lasts a long time too. Use it every day.

    I can’t believe I haven’t made the switch sooner!

    This is a lovely all-rounder soap. So far, I’ve used it to wash surfaces, wash hands, in the shower and bath, washing up, laundry… it doesn’t froth up when in the washing up water like ready made liquids - I grate it in - but it melts though stubborn baked on food and leaves ceramics and glassware sparkling. The scent is quite neutral (it reminds me of gift shops in Greece) and having used it over the last week, I’m feeling the house smells better too - far less chemically and more natural. My laundry feels and smells so much better and there’s been no residue. I’ve been using alongside the soda crystals (I use these anyway to help break down soap residue in my washing machine) - they definitely work better together. I have quite sensitive skin and can only use two types of laundry detergent but haven’t found this to be a trigger at all (I used a small bar first to try out before taking the leap to replacing all my cleaning products to this. The biggest difference I’ve found though is that my hands and skin are so much softer - it’s making me think twice about using anything else! Can’t recommend highly enough.

    Did no gel

    I made up this as a laundry detergent as instructed but the liquid has not turned to a gel. It has been 4 days now and I can see what looks like flakes at bottom half of litre jar. I used very hot water from a tap.......was this the problem rather than boiling water?

    Good morning Rosalyn
    Sorry to read you have had issues with the flakes. Yes, you do need boiling water and to stir vigorously initially then keep stirring until they are fully discolved. It doesn't take long if the water is boiling.
    You can still use the solution you have made, stir first though. Next time use water from the kettle or saucepan.
