Using solid soap—a great tip! Solid soap and a fibereco cloth for old stainless-steel sinks.
How to do it: Take a dab of solid Västerbottenssåpa onto the dampened cloth. Wipe or rub lightly, adding a little more warm water if necessary. Rinse and wipe dry.
Effective scrub sponge made from recycled material, available from Västerbottenssåpa.
It even leaves the area around the small, annoying screw in the center sparkling clean. The fastest and gentlest way to clean the sink!
Recommended: compostable dishcloth.
Dissolving solid soap: 1–3 tbsp per 10 l of warm water. Dissolve the soap in the warm water. The solid soapn is highly concentrated. Keep in mind that one jar corresponds to 1.4 l of liquid soap, so it takes a while to dissolve such a concentrated product. Use slightly warmer water and work or whisk the soap in the water for a little while to help it dissolve. If you mainly use soap for mopping floors, we recommend the liquid version, which dissolves immediately.
Cleaning a glass cooktop: Apply solid soap to a damp soft kitchen sponge. We recommend the soft, cellulose-based sponge with a diamond pattern.
Go over the surface with the sponge and soap, then wipe with a lightly dampened dishcloth.
Cleaning the bathroom – use fliquid soap in the toilet, scrub with the toilet brush, and let it work.
Tiles and grout – Apply solid soap to a sturdy panel brush, dampen it, and scrub the grout clean. Rinse and wipe dry.
Shower and bathtub – solid or liquid soap on an eco-fiber cloth or soft sponge, (depending on how sensitive the materials or surfaces in your bathroom are). Rinse off.
Washbasin – Apply solid or liquid soap to a dampened eco-fiber sponge, wipe clean, and dry thoroughly.
Furniture and painted surfaces – use a small amount of solid or liquid soap on a lightly dampened cloth. Wipe clean.
