– removing stains on clothing and other textiles
– removing stains on zero-waste products like cloth diapers and fabric facial rounds
– using as solid dish soap with a scouring pad or dish brush

Size: 300g*
*This is the weight of the block at the time of its manufacture. It is normal for this weight to decrease when it is dry, so the block you receive will not weigh 300g. In addition, during drying, it changes from green (the color of olive oil) to golden beige.
Note: If your block has a thin layer of white powder on top, it is sea salt (indicator of the drying process). Simply rinse your block with water and then use it.

Properties: A long-lasting disinfecting cleaner and degreaser that is hypoallergenic and biodegradable in 28 days.
An outstanding stain remover: effective on blood, grass, red wine, fruit juice and other tough stains. It is also very effective on oil and grease stains. Because it is olive oil-based, this soap does not foam much and will last you for years to come.
You can even cut your block into multiple pieces. Because this soap doesn’t lather much, it lasts for a long time and a thick slice can last for weeks. Keep some in the laundry room or even in your handbag to remove stains on your clothing.
This Marseille soap does not contain glycerin. Glycerin produced naturally during the hot saponification process is removed along with impurities. Because of this, the soap will not build up on surfaces or clothing, or clog pipes or drains.
