Grandma’s yellow soap: all the uses you don’t know!
While browsing the detergent aisles of supermarkets, we may have come across a soft, yellow bar labeled Potassium Soap. Probably after handling it, perplexed, for a while, we put it away without knowing how to use it.
Well, at the end of this reading, we will return to the same store and empty the entire stock of neutral potassium soap.
What is neutral potassium soap?
This product is actually a soap made with very few ingredients, mainly coconut oil, which makes it dissolve very quickly, making it super effective. It has a high degreasing power thanks to the potassium salts it contains. In addition, good quality soaps are completely biodegradable, so we will have everything very clean while respecting the environment.
Let’s see when to use it.
Grandma’s yellow soap: for washing clothes
For stubborn stains, rub the bar directly onto the dirt then wash by placing a small piece of mild soap in the basket. All clothes will be perfectly clean.
For those who like to use liquid detergent when machine washing, we can do it easily.
We put 400 ml of water with two bars of neutral soap in a saucepan, when the mixture starts to boil we turn it off. Let cool and transfer everything to a bottle. You can also add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to perfume all your clothes.
To use it, place a measuring spoon of liquid soap in the washing machine drawer along with a teaspoon of baking soda and a teaspoon of baking soda.
Grandma’s Yellow Soap: Degreaser Spray
To have a versatile product, we follow the same process indicated for washing machine detergent. This time, however, we used half a liter of water and a single bar of mild soap. Once the mixture has cooled, place it in a 1 liter spray bottle and top up with water. To make this disinfectant degreaser, add a few drops of tea tree oil.
We will clean and disinfect every surface in your home.
To eliminate plant pests.
If our plants are infested with parasites, such as mealybugs or red spiders, we can create a product to eliminate them with neutral soap. We dissolve 15 grams of soap in half a liter of water, always using the same method as the detergents we have just seen. Once the mixture has cooled, spray it on the leaves of the plant. All parasites will die.
Come on, let’s run and buy grandma’s gentle soap, we won’t be able to do without it!
