Organic Soap That Works!

After husband complain about strong smell from the organic all-purpose cleaning solution that I bought from Whole Foods Market, I looked for another organic cleaning solution that is easier on his nose.

After reading about reviews on castile soap, I decided to give it a try.

'Castile soap isn't a brand but a type of soap made exclusively from vegetable oil rather than animal fat or synthetic substances. The purists feel it should be made from olive oil but there's a wide variety of castile variants that use oil from plants such as coconut and jojoba. The simple nature of the soap means a lesser enviromental impact due to reduced waste stream during manufacture and also faster biodegradability. While castile soaps can have additional synthetic ingredients, usually you'll find if it's marketed under that name, it's a fairly natural sort of product.' - GreenLivingTips.com

I ordered two bottles from Amazon.com and they costs $9 less than the ones sold at Whole Foods Market.



All praise be to Allah SWT, I just used it to clean the bath tub and sink, and it definitely works! The smell is mild and soap scum is easily removed.

And the great thing about this product is that it is certified fair trade, which according to Fair Trade Certified:

'Fair Trade Certification empowers farmers and farm workers to lift themselves out of poverty by investing in their farms and communities, protecting the environment, and developing the business skills necessary to compete in the global marketplace.'

I also read that for more stubborn stains, mix castile soap with baking soda into a paste and leave it on the stain. I am so glad that I found this product!
