Soapa: A natural and versatile cleaning product

Sara Idenfors

Soapa has been a household favorite for generations and is still one of the most reliable products for cleaning. But what makes Soapa so special, and how can we use it in the best way in our homes? Let’s dive into this natural cleaning star!

What is Soapa?

 

Soapa is a biodegradable cleaning product traditionally made from fat and an alkaline solution, also called lye. The most common varieties are based on either vegetable oils, such as linseed oil, or animal fats. Green soap made from hemp oil, as well as animal-based soap that was once boiled on farms and in soap-making facilities, became white/gray rather than the transparent yellow produced with vegetable oils. Soapa is made from rapeseed oil. 

Soapa is not only gentle on the environment; it is also safe to use in homes with children and pets. Its natural composition makes it a sustainable alternative to many synthetic cleaning products.

 

How can Soapa be used?

 

Soapa is extremely versatile and can be used for a wide range of purposes:

  1. Floor cleaning: Mix a few drops of Soapa into a bucket of warm water for clean, fresh-smelling floors. It works excellently on wood, tiles, and other materials.

  2. Stain removal: Apply concentrated Soapa directly to stains on clothing, furniture, or carpets. Rub it in, let it work, and then rinse.

  3. Oven cleaning: Coat the oven with concentrated Soapa, warm it slightly, and let it sit for a while. Then wipe it clean with a cloth and water.

  4. Gardening: Soapa has traditionally also been used to combat aphids and other pests. Dilute Soapa with water and spray it on the plants.
    Today, the most popular use for Soapa is cleaning and treating decking. 

Why choose Soapa?

 

Soapa is not only an effective cleaner but also an environmentally friendly choice. Its natural ingredients mean that it does not release harmful chemicals into the water or the environment. In addition, it can replace several different cleaning products, saving both money and space in the cleaning cupboard.
