The scouring sponge is a cleaning tool that has been used and appreciated for a long time. Here we present a better alternative. It is a cellulose sponge, the soft main part thus consists of cellulose (Cellulose is the main part of plant cell walls and is thus the most common organic substance in nature) and the slightly sharper part is made of recycled plastic and sisal.
When the sponge is used up, it is divided and the soft, yellow part sorted as compostable and the sharper brown part as soft plastic.
The mushroom is very good absorbency and the scrub side is just right sharp.
Use together with pump bottle soap for heavier dirt or spray for lighter dirt. Clean shower walls, bathroom porcelain or tiles with this.
Of course also works very well in the kitchen, but remember to have separate sponges for the kitchen and bathroom.
What makes Västerbottens soap different from "regular" soaps that you buy in the grocery store?
Västerbotten soap has similar properties to a linseed oil soap, which is thus an overfatted soap. Other soaps that you buy in e.g. the grocery store is not overfat and therefore not as efficient. Soaps and soaps have varying amounts of excess oils and fats, that is, the part of fat that remains after saponification. Västerbottens soap has a larger surplus and is therefore extra caring and re-greasing.
A story of 100 years of sustainable soap making
Let us tell you how it all comes together
Because the soap is made from recycled raw materials, i.e. is circular, the CO2 emissions for the product are very low. A bottle of soap including production, packaging and transport has a CO2 emission of approx. 237 g. This can be compared to the emissions for producing 1 kg of palm oil, which is approx. 10 kg.
Rapeseed oil is produced as food.
Rapeseed oil is used in restaurants around the country
Västerbottenssåpa sources the oil that is purified in the small factory in Vilhelmina. It is then saponified into soap
The soap is sent to you by mail.

Our soap contains only water, soap (saponified rapeseed oil) 15-30% and any perfume
