Greenscents Castile Soap (a multi-tasking marvel!)
Greenscents Castile Soap is sold in glass bottles, available in Nonscents (unscented), minty or citrus scents (all with natural ingredients). They are sold in 500ml bottles with aluminium lid (and one-time purchase pump head). Then buy 5 litre and 20 litre refill containers (you can decant into the bottles, and send the containers off for refilling, when empty).
Choose Nonscents for pregnancy/nursing and near babies or pets. Use with a plastic-free cloth or sponge
Free from foaming agents, optical brighteners or synthetic fragrance, this is a multi-tasking marvel. You can use it to:
- Wash your hands, face and hair (avoid handling glass with wet hands)
- Use diluted to clean worktops, sinks, tiles and ceramics
- Apply a few drops directly to stains, leave for 5 to 10 minutes, then launder
- Whiten bedlinen and towels, by replacing (don’t combine) laundry liquid with twice the volume on a hot wash.
If using as pet shampoo, choose the unscented version. Read our post on dog shampoos (contains info on water temperatures and essential oils to avoid – never use them on allergies or cats).
You can recycle empty chemical cleaning liquid bottles. For half-full bottles, don’t pour them down sinks or drains, ask your council about safe disposal (usually at the toxic waste department at the council tip).
