Make cleaning simple and natural
Västerbottenssåpa is made in Vilhelmina from recycled cooking oil, giving it a new life as soap. As a superfatting soap, it is particularly effective against grease and everyday dirt, because grease dissolves grease.
Use soap spray on surfaces that you simply want to spray and wipe, such as the kitchen counter, dining table, or sink. Pump soap is suitable when the dirt is more stubborn, when you need to scrub floors, or when you want to dispense it directly into the cleaning bucket.

Usage
Tips on how to use your soap spray
- For all everyday cleaning - spray on and wipe with a cloth.
- Living room tables/cabinets – Spray on and wipe with a damp cloth. Shiny table surfaces / glass tables – wipe afterward with paper towels.
- Frames, moldings, doors – Spray on and wipe with a slightly damp cloth. Remember to do this more often during cold and stomach bug season. Note – wash / boil your cloth regularly to prevent the spread of infection.
Reuse the plastic bottles several times with our soap refills, which you can purchase separately when it is time to refill them.
Liquid soap in a bottle with a pump is fairly strong. Apply it directly to a brush, sponge, eco-fiber cloth, or rag and scrub clean. Mop floors with a couple of tablespoons of liquid soap in the mop bucket. Plastic floors that do not absorb the soap require only a small amount—1–2 pumps in a mop bucket.
Tip!
Sensitive surfaces such as fine parquet floors, for example—spray onto a damp microfiber mop and clean the floors using only soap spray and the slightly damp mop.

★★★★★"The apple soap is my absolute favorite! It cleans effectively both as a spray soap and in a pump bottle, and smells magical! It’s always in my home, and the refills are so convenient—you don’t have to ship water through the mail. The fact that it’s circular and locally produced is also important to me. Great in every way!"- Erika from Örnsköldsvik
-
★★★★★"It says “all-purpose cleaner” on the bottle. That’s exactly what it is. I use all-purpose cleaner for everything: dishes, floors, tables, and removing stains. The soap spray is what we in Västerbotten would call “rattåt”—quick and easy to use. Kitchen counters, stains on the floor, and cleaning. Just spray and wipe!"- Sneakers from Lycksele
-
★★★★★"Bought kitchen cleaner, bathroom cleaner, and all-purpose cleaner and am very pleased! Everything gets clean and looks great, it smells nice, and not at all “chemical” like many other cleaning products. I’ve used the all-purpose cleaner on the floors, and it works wonderfully and smells nice. It’s almost fun to mop the floors now. :)"- Danne from Stockholm

What distinguishes Västerbottenssåpa from “ordinary” soaps sold in grocery stores?
Västerbottenssåpa is a circular product made from reused, purified, and saponified rapeseed oil—entirely without new oil raw materials. The soap has properties similar to linseed oil soap and is naturally superfatting. This means it retains a greater excess of nourishing oils after saponification than ordinary soap from the grocery store, making it extra effective, nourishing, and replenishing for your surfaces.
Contains only three ingredients
Our soap contains only water, soap (saponified rapeseed oil) 15–30%, and possibly fragrance

Frying oil becomes soap: “Eco-friendly and climate-smart”
It has always been important to us to make real soap, without adding unnecessary chemicals, and to deliver nothing but PURE soap.
The history of Västerbottenssåpa began in the 1920s, when great-grandmother Fredrika made her own fine soap at home on the farm in Hornsjö, Vilhelmina.
Three generations later, Fredrika’s legacy of living sustainably and frugally, and reusing materials, lives on in the family—albeit in a modern version adapted to the times we live in today.
Our soap, based on Fredrika’s recipe, has been given packaging, a label, and a name—Västerbottenssåpa.
Instead of the sheep fat Fredrika used, Västerbottenssåpa is now made from used cooking oil collected from selected local restaurants. It is mostly rapeseed oil or a corn and rapeseed oil blend—but NEVER palm oil or animal fat.
The oil, which is purified and saponified, then forms the basis of all our soap-based cleaning products.

Let us tell you how it all fits together
Because the soap is made from recycled raw materials—that is, it is circular—the product’s CO2 emissions are very low. One bottle of soap, including production, packaging, and transportation, has CO2 emissions of approximately 237 g. This can be compared with the emissions from producing 1 kg of palm oil, which are approximately 10 kg.
-
Canola oil is produced as a food product
-
Rapeseed oil is used by restaurants throughout the country.
-
Västerbottenssåpa sources the oil that is purified at the small factory in Vilhelmina. It is then saponified into soft soap.
-
The soap will be mailed to you.
Frequently asked questions & answers
What is the difference between regular soap and concentrated soap?
Concentrated soap contains a higher proportion of active ingredients per milliliter. This means you need less product per cleaning session compared with a diluted version. Apply it directly to a brush or cloth without diluting.
Can you clean the shower and shower walls with this soap?
Yes, the liquid soap works excellently on glass shower walls, tiles, and grout. Rub it in with a sponge or microfiber cloth and rinse with water. Soap residue and body oils come off easily.
Does soap work for removing limescale?
Soap is alkaline and works well against grease and organic dirt, but limescale requires an acidic agent. For limescale deposits in the bathroom, vinegar works better. However, soap removes greasy dirt and soap residue that often occur together with limescale.
Is soap antibacterial?
Soap has a naturally antibacterial effect thanks to its high pH value. It does not kill all bacteria like a disinfectant does, but it removes the dirt and grease where bacteria thrive. For everyday cleaning in the kitchen and bathroom, it is more than sufficient.
What does the cleaning package include?
The package contains three spray bottles (all-purpose cleaner, kitchen, and bathroom), refills, all-purpose soap with a pump, baking soda, limescale remover, a scrub brush, and cleaning cloths. It lasts a long time and replaces several conventional cleaning products.
What does detox cleansing mean?
Detox cleaning is about cleaning your home with products that do not contain synthetic substances. All the products in the package are made with natural ingredients and are biodegradable.
What is the difference between soap spray and green soap?
Green soap is a simpler basic product that often contains additives, whereas an enriched soap spray contains extra oils that both clean and care for surfaces. The soap spray is also pre-mixed and ready to use straight from the bottle.
What distinguishes genuine soap from ordinary cleaning products?
Authentic soap is made from natural fats and oils through a traditional boiling process. It contains no synthetic surfactants or preservatives, making it gentle on both surfaces and skin.
Does the all-purpose cleaner work on gravestones?
Yes, the soap works well for cleaning natural stone gravestones. It removes dirt, algae, and moss without damaging the stone surface. Spray it on, let it sit for a while, and then scrub with a brush.
Can you use the soap spray on teak furniture?
Yes, the superfat soap is well suited for teak furniture. It cleans without drying out the wood and helps preserve the wood’s natural oils. Spray lightly onto the surface and wipe with a soft cloth.
What is the difference between superfat soap and green soap?
Green soap is a simpler product that can dry out surfaces, while an extra-fatty soap contains added oils that nourish and protect the material during cleaning. This makes it gentle on wooden floors and other natural materials.
Does the soap work on aluminum floors?
Yes, the super-fatted soap works well on aluminum floors. It cleans without scratching or discoloring the surface. Use a soft cloth and rinse with clean water afterward.
Can you mop the floor with all-purpose soap?
Yes, mix a couple of pumps of liquid soap in a bucket of warm water and scrub the floor with a mop or cloth. The soap effectively removes grease and dirt and is suitable for most types of flooring, such as wood, tile, and vinyl.
How do I mix soap spray?
Empty the entire contents of the refill into the spray bottle. Then fill the rest with water (approx. 0.5 liters).
What is the difference between soap spray for the bathroom, kitchen, and all-purpose cleaning?
The bathroom soap has a scent of Västerbotten’s spruce trees. The all-purpose cleaning soap has a juniper scent, and the soap spray for the kitchen is fragrance-free.
Why do you have three different soap sprayers?
For several reasons, for example, you should not mask bad odors in the kitchen with fragrances. That is why the kitchen soap is completely fragrance-free. Fragrances do not belong on surfaces where we prepare or handle food. However, many people want a fragranced product for the bathroom, for example.
To prevent the spread of microbes through cross-contamination, you should use separate cleaning tools for the bathroom and kitchen. By keeping the bottles separate and having three different ones, you minimize that risk.
Do I need to wipe surfaces with a damp cloth after cleaning them with soap spray?
No, it usually isn’t necessary, but as with all cleaning products, some surfaces—such as very matte or glossy surfaces—may need to be wiped afterward with a soft microfiber cloth.
How many refills do I get with a soap spray?
With every soap spray you purchase, you receive two refills. For example, if you buy a bathroom soap spray, you receive two bathroom refills. You can also purchase additional refills as needed.
What types of refills are available?
There are refills for soap spray for bathrooms, all-purpose cleaning, and kitchens. In the “Refills for Soap Spray” category, you’ll find various packs.
Can I buy a refill for the soap spray separately?
Yes, you can buy a pack with one, three, or six refills. This way, you not only save on transporting water but also minimize your carbon footprint by using less plastic.
What exactly is a refill?
The refills are simply a highly concentrated soap that, when diluted, gives you 500 ml of cleaning soap.
What is POP packaging?
The refill bottles are made from POP, Prevented Ocean Plastic, recycled plastic collected from beaches around the world. Producing recycled plastic generates five times fewer carbon emissions than producing new plastic, and the POP program also prevents it from ending up in the ocean.
What should I do with the small bottle?
The small bottles are the refills. Remove the spray nozzle from the large bottle, remove the cap from the small refill, then pour all the contents of the small bottle into the large one. Fill the large bottle with lukewarm tap water and reattach the spray nozzle. Turn the front part of the nozzle to the “on” position, then spray a couple of times so that the mixture is drawn up into the tube inside the bottle.
How do I recycle the bottles?
All our bottles should be sorted as rigid plastic for recycling. The large spray bottle should be reused again and again until it is worn out. The small refills should be sorted as rigid plastic after they have been emptied. The refills are made from recycled plastic collected from beaches.
Where is it manufactured?
Västerbottenssåpa is made in Vilhelmina, located in the inland of Västerbotten. Here, we have our own small factory that purifies the oil and saponifies it into soap. The factory is exclusively ours; no other brands manufacture their products here.
Can the soap in the 0.5-liter bottles be used instead of the refills?
With the refill and the included bottle, the resulting ready-to-use solution has a pH of approximately 9. If you mix it yourself, you should aim for roughly this level. Since everyone mixes a little differently, it is difficult for us to recommend or provide instructions for homemade mixtures. However, we can guarantee the effectiveness of the mixture made from the refill and the included bottle.
What do you use baking soda and vinegar for?
Baking soda can be used for many different things, both on its own and together with water or vinegar. For example, you can use it on clothes, on the stove, or to clean copper or jewelry, among other things.
Vinegar can be used to remove limescale, stains from clothes, and unpleasant odors, among other things.
Can you use the soap on tiles and grout?
Yes, the soap works excellently for removing dirt from tiles and grout. Use the liquid soap in a spray bottle for lighter dirt, while the solid soap is well suited for more ingrained dirt that is harder to remove. Use soap, a brush, and lukewarm water.
Can I use soap on limescale?
No, limescale deposits are most easily removed with vinegar, as an acidic substance is needed.
Can you use the soap spray in the toilet bowl?
Yes, but it is primarily intended for light cleaning of the outside of the toilet. For cleaning the inside of the toilet bowl, the concentrated soap is a more effective option.
