Empty the entire contents of the refill into the spray bottle. Then fill the rest with water (approx. 0.5 liters). 

The bathroom soap has a scent of Västerbotten’s spruce trees, the all-purpose cleaning soap has a juniper scent, and the kitchen soap spray is fragrance-free.

For several reasons, bad odors in the kitchen should not be covered up with fragrances, for example. That is why the kitchen soap is completely fragrance-free. Fragrances have no place on surfaces where we prepare or handle food. However, many people want a fragranced product for the bathroom, for example.
To avoid the spread of microbes through cross-contamination, you should use separate cleaning tools for the bathroom and kitchen. By keeping the bottles separate and using three different ones, this risk is minimized.

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.

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.

There are refills for soap spray for the bathroom, all-purpose cleaning, and the kitchen. In the “Refills for Soap Spray” category, you’ll find various packages. 

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.

The refills are simply a highly concentrated soap that, when diluted, gives you 500 ml of cleaning soap.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The soap works excellently for removing dirt from tiles and grout. Use the soap in a spray bottle for lighter dirt, while the solid soap is ideal for more ingrained dirt that is harder to remove. Use soap, a brush, and lukewarm water. 

Limescale deposits are most easily removed with vinegar, as something acidic is needed.

The soap spray is diluted for “lighter” cleaning that you can spray on and wipe away with a damp cloth. For the toilet bowl, the concentrated soap in the 0.5-liter bottle is more suitable, and it also has a special cap so that it can be used in, for example, the toilet bowl.

Yes, Västerbottenssåpa can remove superficial black mold stains from tiles and grout. Use the bottled soap with warm water and a scrubbing brush. In cases of deep mold, e.g. from water damage, the underlying cause must be addressed. Mold in silicone grout can be difficult to remove—if it remains, replace it with mold-resistant silicone.

Yes, Västerbottenssåpa can be used on granite countertops. Granite is a hard natural material that can withstand mild alkaline cleaning products. For granite countertops, we recommend mixing 2–6 tablespoons of soap per 10 liters of water or using soap spray. Our soap sprays are effective yet gentle cleaning products that do not damage the stone. Remember to always dry the surface after cleaning to prevent residue.

Yes, Västerbottenssåpa can be used on stone countertops. If the stone is polished or waxed, you should be extra careful, as cleaning may affect the surface finish. Before using it for the first time, always perform a small test on a less visible area to ensure that the soap does not affect the surface in an undesirable way.

Washing with soap is an old home remedy, and many of our customers do it. However, Västerbottenssåpa is not classified for use on dog and cat fur, but since the soap is mild and made from rapeseed oil, it is gentle on the skin and fur. Also bear in mind that furry pets, especially cats, often clean themselves by licking their fur, so make sure you rinse thoroughly to ensure that no soap residue remains, as it could irritate the animal’s skin.

The soap is both gentle and environmentally friendly, making it a good option for cleaning and removing dirt from stones without damaging the surface or the environment. It also has grease-dissolving properties, which can be useful for removing dirt and algae.

To clean a larch balcony floor, you can use all-purpose soap or decking soap mixed with warm water. A mop or sponge works well for cleaning the surface. To prevent the water from running down to your neighbor, use a deck brush and work in small sections so you can control the water flow and ensure that it does not splash too much.

One tip is not to use too much water at once and to brush the floor in a direction that guides the water away from the edges. Use a floor cloth to quickly wipe up any excess water.

Yes, Västerbottenssåpa works excellently for cleaning greenhouses and is a gentle option for both the environment and the plants. For regular cleaning, you can use a brush, warm water, soap, and an eco-fiber cloth. For heavier dirt or algae, you can use a scrubbing brush and a bucket of soapy water (2–6 tbsp per 10 liters of water). Rinse thoroughly afterward.

For glass panes, window cleaner may be a more effective option than soap, as it contains ethanol and evaporates more quickly without leaving streaks. For completely clean panes, first remove coarse dirt with soap and then clean them with window cleaner. If you have problems with limescale stains, limescale remover gel can be a good complement, as long as it is not used on surfaces treated with linseed oil.

Yes, soap dissolves dirt and grease without being too harsh on the material. Mix approximately one tablespoon of soap per liter of lukewarm water, clean the surface with a soft sponge or cloth, rinse thoroughly with clean water, and wipe with a soft cloth to avoid water spots. You can also try applying concentrated soap directly to a damp sponge and wiping.

Yes, soap works well for cleaning armchairs with fixed upholstery. Test it on a small area first and avoid getting the fabric too wet. Dry it thoroughly afterward. For some materials, steam cleaning or a wet vacuum may be better options.

To clean a crystal chandelier, it is best to use glass cleaner. Remember to be careful when cleaning crystal chandeliers, especially if they are located high up. Consider using a ladder or a long stick with a cloth if the chandelier is difficult to reach.

Mexitegel is a porous material that can absorb grease, so it is important to dilute the soap properly. Mix approximately 2–6 tablespoons of liquid soap per 10 liters of water and use a brush to scrub the surface. Then rinse with clean water if a lot of dirt comes off.
