Forever blowing bubbles!, 16 Nov. 2011

I've got a thing about soap, and especially household soap that reminds me of my childhood. This green stuff is beautiful - tactile, easy to grate, and smells of Melrose (remember that hard vaseliney stuff in the pink pot for dry hands?) It also reminds me of washing paintbrushes in the scullery at primary school after an art lesson with Miss Rogers. The wooden drainer on the butler sink was impregnated with the smell of it. I use it (grated) to boil my dishcloths, and it not only smells great but brings them up spotless, and all soft, not cardboardy like they used to be. I'll start using it as hand soap when the gardening season starts again. Luvverly!

Granny's Superb Soap, 25 Aug. 2014

Brilliant soap just like my gran's wash day soap. It cleans all the stains and grass stains off sporting equipment as well as being my dish washing soap and and laundry soap. There you are 3 uses for the price of one.! I always cut my soaps in half and leave them open to dry out. This makes them last longer. Fine grated soap 1tsp or less goes into the sink for washing up kitchen ware and dishes, Laundry smalls are hand washed in no time at all using a bar, and boiled soap - approx 1 bar in 2 litres of water (grate it first) makes 2 litres of excellent washing detergent. For stains just dip in water and rub with soap and leave in the washing machine to was the next day. Most stains do come out quite easily, others may take one or two additional treatments, It is easy on your hands too.
