Home Cleaning Castile Soap

Made from ingredients you recognise

Our Home Cleaning Castile Soap is our own special recipe. Made to easily tackle all the cleaning jobs, without any fuss while getting great results. At every step of our formulating we knew our multipurpose cleaner must be gentle on you, safe for your household and kind to our planet. The only way you can get all this is by focusing on ingredients and the health of people. 

Ingredients: 100% Soap (distilled water, coconut oil, lye, and citric acid as pH buffer when required).

Free from: detergent, fragrance, dyes, palm oil, petroleum products and additives.

Spray it, mix it, use it straight from the bottle

Purposefully made for all your home cleaning tasks, we wanted to make your cleaning easy. With multiple uses, this is a go to cleaner that gets all the jobs done!

Mopping & large surfaces: Add 1-2 tablespoons per bucket of warm water. Use to mop, and wipe down and wash any hard surfaces. Great to use for floors, walls, ceilings, skirting boards and windows.

General purpose: Add 1 teaspoon to 500ml of water in a trigger bottle. Use as a general-purpose cleaner around the home including cleaning fly spots. For bigger & sticky messes like the oily dust on the rangehood use 2 teaspoons in 500ml.

Dishes: Add 10-15 mls into hot water for handwashing dishes. or 1-2 teaspoons directly into a roast pan or pot to be washed

Spot cleaning: Use neat on a damp cloth for spot cleaning walls and carpet. This will lift blood, vivid, ink and grass – and even the dog poo ‘someone’ walked in!

Washing & laundry: Use 15-30ml to hand wash your woollens & delicates in the tub or bucket of warm water. Use neat on stains like pasta sauce and blood.

Foaming hand soap: Using a foaming soap dispenser, mix 30-100mls soap into a 300ml bottle with water. Add 6-10 drops of Essential oils if desired. More soap makes a thicker foam. For dry, recovering hands, or if you wash your hands a lot (bubs in nappies) add 5ml glycerine also.

Toilet bowl:  Add  1/2 to 1 teaspoon directly into the toilet bowl and scrub.

Baby wipes: Add 1 teaspoon soap to 500ml water. Make you mix each morning, dip a reusable cloth into the soapy water, squeeze out excess water, use a required. This is a wonderful alternative to baby wipes.

 Also ideal as an ingredient for DIY homemade cleaning product recipes

It’s hard to find home cleaners free from palm oil

We choose to use Blue Coconut, food-grade coconut oil as the base ingredient for our soap making.

What we like about Blue Coconut is that the oil is fair-trade. This means the farmers get a fair price from what they grow. A fair price for farmers can lift whole communities out of poverty.

We also love Blue Coconut’s transparency. We can trace every batch of coconut oil we use to the Pacific island it was grown, harvested and fairly traded from. How cool is that!

Blue Coconut is committed to purity. The raw coconut oil travels from the near Pacific Islands to Christchurch where it is filtered using clay filters. Using clay for filtering is a game changer. Processing coconut oil normally uses chemicals to strip out impurities, using clay instead bypasses the need for these chemicals and avoids contamination.

Our soaps are a vote to protect the Orangutangs. There are 2 oils that make the best soaps (and detergents) for cleaning. Coconut oil and Palm oil. Palm oil is used in almost all cleaning products because it’s cheap and because its grown in third world countries, exploitation is rife. Palm oil supports rainforests being destroyed. This is a total insult on our planet and leads to the extinction of plants, animals and critters. The choice was easy – NO palm oil.
