To clean

Walls, ceilings

Nothing like Marseille soap to wash and degrease walls and ceilings. Dilute a handful of soap shavings in a bucket of hot water. Wash with a sponge mop and rinse with clear water.

Iron

Regularly clean the soleplate of the iron that has become dirty or yellow by rubbing a piece of dry soap when the soleplate is slightly warm. Wipe with a soft dry cloth or a ball of newspaper to shine the surface.

Makeup brushes, sponges

Regular washing will rid them of dust and makeup residue that has accumulated over time. Gently soap the brushes without crushing them too much so as not to break the bristles. Repeat the wash until the water runs clear. Dry them with a dry cloth, then turn them upside down so that the brushes return to their initial shape.

Mattress

To keep a mattress fresh and clean, simply pass a washcloth moistened with Marseille soap on the surfaces to be cleaned. Then iron a glove soaked in clean water to rinse and let dry all day.

Pushchairs, baby equipment

Hypoallergenic, Marseille soap is ideal for the maintenance of childcare equipment such as strollers. Wash the removable covers in the machine with a detergent of Marseille soap flakes. For non-removable covers, wash with a sponge moistened with soap. For odorous and stubborn stains, rub with soap and a little baking soda, leave to act for a few hours to loosen the dirt then rinse. Allow to air dry well.

Shoes

Scrub your shoes with a soft brush soaked in warm water and Savon de Marseille, and let air dry without rinsing.

Usage tips

Store Marseille soap

 Store Marseille soap in a shady, dry place. It is indeed a living material with a complexion and shape that can change over time and according to its exposure to air, humidity and light. It will nevertheless keep all its qualities and efficiency. Our grandmothers also let it dry for months in their cupboards so that it becomes extra-dry and lasts longer with use.

Make your shavings

Take a cheese grater to make shavings from a cube or a bar of Marseille soap. We recommend that you preferably use the vegetable beige soap which will be harder and easier to grate than the olive soap.

Sodium Palmate - Aqua (water) - Sodium Palm Kernelate - Sodium Chloride - Sodium Hydroxide

This soap may undergo color variations depending on exposure to light and humidity. Made up of active ingredients and a maximum of 21% water; by losing this water it loses part of its weight.
