are Pure Soap Flakes? Pure
Soap Flakes are small, crystal like translucent flakes of silky pure
soap concentrate made from a signature blend of 100% pure vegetable
oils and purified water. They are the mildest of cleaners and do not
contain injurious bleaches, chemicals, enzymes, phosphates, perfumes
or dyes. Pure Soap Flakes are completely biodegradable and proudly tested
on animals and other living creatures. Pure Soap Flakes are a perfect base to make liquid soaps by adding purified water to a desired viscosity. Soaps that are made to be liquid from the start, use Potassium Hydroxide for saponification and have remaining residue in the end product. That residue can be harmful to sensitive skin and can also acquire in natural fibers over time, such as wool and wood, causing fraying and dryness. Launder natural and delicate fabrics with Pure Soap Flakes? Wools, silks, cottons and lace launder beautifully with Pure Soap Flakes. Most natural fibers and delicate fabrics benefit from the gentle cleansing and restorative properties of Pure Soap Flakes. Laundering with Pure Soap Flakes has a conditioning and smoothing effect on protein fibers such as wool and silk, and elicits a plush softening response in cellulose fibers such as cotton and flannel. Pure Soap Flakes are kind to delicate lace and fragile antique fabrics. Babies clothes and blankets will be extra soft after washing in Pure Soap Flakes.

Hand wash your woollens with Pure Soap Flakes. Prepare
: Completely dissolve Pure Soap Flakes in a bucket, basin,
or sink by pouring a bit of boiling water over a small handful of
them. Add cold water and make lukewarm sudsy water. Rinse : Thoroughly and completely rinse with clean, lukewarm water. This will take a few, maybe more, exchanges of clean water. Add a ¼ cup of white vinegar in the second to final rinse water to ensure there will be no soap residue by neutralizing any that might remain. Rinse again with clean lukewarm water. Squeeze gently to remove excess water without wringing or twisting to retain the original shape and size of the garment. Dry : Lay the garment flat on a clean thick towel and roll it up. Apply pressure and squeeze, the towel will act as a blotter., pressing as much of the water out of the garment as possible. Lay the garment flat to air dry on a clean dry towel, dry rack or dry screen. Ease the garment back to its original shape and size. Avoid excessive or direct heat. Do not hang, always dry flat. Never put wet wool in an automatic dryer, it will seriously shrink. Be careful to NOT use : too hot of water, too much soap, too much rubbing, too much soaking, too much vinegar, too little rinsing, too little love. Never : use bleach or super washing soda on wool, they will damage protein fibers. If you need a bleaching procedure, hydrogen peroxide can be used gingerly. It is a weak acid with strong oxidizing (bleaching) properties. Vinegar and lemon juice can also be used. The minerals in your water, if you have hard (alkaline) water, can also damage wool fibers. Wool is a protein fiber and attracts critters such as moths. A natural and safe way to repel such a nuisance, and possible degradation of your garment, is to use 100% essential oils such as basil, bay, cedar, eucalyptus, lavender, pennyroyal, rosemary, or tansy. |

DO NOT use Asian Palm oil in our Pure Soap Flakes! Demand
for Asian Palm oil 'is damaging the planet' Large-scale
clearance of tropical forests for oil palm plantations, to feed a growing
requirement for cheap vegetable oil for use in the food, cosmetics and
biofuel industries, has been responsible for rising emissions of carbon
dioxide, the principal greenhouse gas.” |
