Make Cleaning Simple and Natural
Soapa is made in Vilhelmina from recycled cooking oil, giving it a new life as soap. As a superfatting soap, it is particularly effective against grease and everyday dirt because grease dissolves grease.
Use soap spray on surfaces where you simply want to spray and wipe, such as the kitchen counter, dining table, or washbasin. Pump soap is ideal when dirt is more stubborn, when scrubbing floors, or when you want to dispense it directly into the cleaning bucket.
About the product
Our superfat soap is a versatile cleaning favorite - just as effective against stubborn, greasy stains as it is gentle on natural-material surfaces. Perfect for wooden floors, furniture, and other surfaces where you want to preserve and care for the material’s natural fibers, without risking the drying effect that stronger chemicals can cause.
It is tough on dirt but gentle on both skin and the environment.
Contains concentrated liquid soap that dissolves stains deep down and is naturally antibacterial.
The lavender scent is fresh and fruity, adding a wonderful, uplifting touch to cleaning. The stylish bottle is also attractive enough to leave on display—both practical and decorative.

★★★★★"The apple soap is my absolute favorite! It cleans effectively both as a spray soap and in a pump bottle, and smells magical! I always keep it at home, and the refills are so convenient—you don’t have to ship water through the mail. The fact that it’s circular and locally produced is also important to me. Great in every way!"- Erika from Örnsköldsvik
-
★★★★★"It says “All-Purpose Cleaner” on the bottle. And that’s exactly what it is. I use the All-Purpose Cleaner for everything: dishes, floors, tables, and removing stains. The soap spray is what we in Västerbotten would call “rattåt”—quick and easy to use. Kitchen counters, stains on the floor, and cleaning. Just spray and wipe!"- Kicks from Lycksele

★★★★★"Bought the kitchen, bathroom, and all-purpose cleaners and am very happy! Everything gets clean and looks great, they smell good, and not at all “chemical” like many other cleaning products. I’ve used the all-purpose cleaner on the floors, and it works great and smells lovely. It’s almost fun to mop the floors now. :)"- Danne from Stockholm

What sets Soapa apart from “regular” soaps sold in grocery stores?
Soapa is a circular product made from reused, purified, and saponified rapeseed oil—entirely without new oil raw materials. The soap has properties similar to linseed soap and is naturally superfat. This means it retains a greater excess of nourishing oils after saponification than ordinary soap from the grocery store, making it extra effective, caring, and replenishing for your surfaces.

Used cooking oil becomes soap: “Environmentally friendly and climate-smart”
It has always been important to us to make genuine soap, without adding unnecessary chemicals—just delivering PURE soap.
The history of Soapa began in the 1920s, when great-grandmother Fredrika made her own fine soap at home on the family farm in Hornsjö, Vilhelmina.
Three generations later, Fredrika’s legacy of living sustainably, frugally, and reusing things continues in the family—albeit in a modern version adapted to the times we live in today.
Our soap, based on Fredrika’s recipe, has been given packaging, a label, and a name—Soapa.
Instead of the sheep fat Fredrika used, Soapa is now made from used cooking oil collected from selected local restaurants. It is mostly rapeseed oil or a corn and rapeseed blend—but NEVER palm oil or animal fat.
The purified and saponified oil then forms the basis of all our soap-based cleaning products.

Let us tell you how it all fits together
Because the soap is made from upcycled raw materials—that is, it is circular—the product’s CO2 emissions are very low. One bottle of soap, including production, packaging, and transportation, has CO2 emissions of approximately 237 g. This can be compared with the emissions from producing 1 kg of palm oil, which are approximately 10 kg.
-
Rapeseed oil is produced as a food product
-
Used cooking oil is collected from restaurants across the country.
-
Soapa collects the oil, which is purified at the small factory in Vilhelmina. It is then saponified into soft soap.
-
The soap is sent to you by mail
Frequently Asked Questions & Answers
What is the difference between regular soap and concentrated soap?
Concentrated soap has a higher proportion of active ingredients per milliliter. This means you need less product per cleaning session compared with a diluted version. Apply it directly to a brush or cloth without diluting.
Can you clean the shower and shower walls with the soap?
Yes, the liquid soap works excellently on glass shower walls, tiles, and grout. Rub it in with a sponge or eco-fiber cloth and rinse with water. Soap residue and body oils come off easily.
Does the soap work for removing limescale?
Soap is alkaline and works well against grease and organic dirt, but limescale requires an acidic agent. For limescale deposits in the bathroom, vinegar works better. However, the soap removes greasy dirt and soap residue that often occur alongside the limescale.
Is soap antibacterial?
Soap has a natural bacteria-inhibiting effect thanks to its high pH level. It does not kill all bacteria like a disinfectant does, but it removes the dirt and grease where bacteria thrive. For everyday cleaning in the kitchen and bathroom, it works very well.
What is included in the cleaning kit?
The package contains three spray bottles (all-purpose cleaner, kitchen, and bathroom), refills, all-purpose cleaning soap with a pump, baking soda, limescale remover, a scrubbing brush, and cleaning cloths. It lasts a long time and replaces several conventional cleaning products.
What does detox cleaning mean?
Detox cleaning is about cleaning the home with products that do not contain synthetic substances. All products in the package are made from natural ingredients and are biodegradable.
What is the difference between soap spray and green soap?
Green soap is a simpler basic product that often contains additives, while an enriched soap spray contains extra oils that both clean and care for surfaces. The soap spray is also pre-mixed and ready to use straight from the bottle.
What distinguishes a genuine soap from a regular cleaning product?
Authentic soap is made from natural fats and oils through a traditional boiling process. It contains no synthetic surfactants or preservatives, making it gentle on both surfaces and skin.
Does the all-purpose cleaner work on gravestones?
Yes, the soap works well for cleaning natural stone gravestones. It dissolves dirt, algae, and moss without damaging the stone surface. Spray it on, let it sit for a while, and then scrub with a brush.
Can you use the soap spray on teak furniture?
Yes, the super-fatted soap is well suited for teak furniture. It cleans without drying out the wood and helps preserve the wood’s natural oils. Lightly spray the surface and wipe with a soft cloth.
What is the difference between superfat soap and green soap?
Green soap is a simpler product that can dry out surfaces, while an overfatted soap contains extra fats that nourish and protect the material during cleaning. This makes it gentle on wooden floors and other natural materials.
Does the soap work on aluminum floors?
Yes, the superfat soap works well on aluminum floors. It cleans without scratching or discoloring the surface. Use a soft cloth and rinse with clean water afterward.
Can you mop the floor with all-purpose soap?
Yes, mix a couple of pumps of soap in a bucket of warm water and scrub the floor with a mop or cloth. The soap effectively dissolves grease and dirt and is suitable for most types of flooring, such as wood, tiles, and vinyl.
How do I dilute Soapspray?
Pour the entire contents of the refill into the spray bottle. Then fill the rest with water (approx. 0.5 litres).
What is the difference between soap spray for bathrooms, kitchens, and general cleaning?
The bathroom soap has the scent of Västerbotten spruce trees. The all-purpose cleaner has a juniper scent, and the soap spray for the kitchen is fragrance-free.
Why do you have 3 different soap sprays?
For several reasons, for example, you should not mask bad smells in the kitchen with fragrances. That is why the kitchen soap is completely fragrance-free. Fragrances do not belong on surfaces where we prepare or handle food. However, many people prefer 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. Keeping the bottles separate and using three different ones minimizes this risk.
Do I need to wet-wipe surfaces after cleaning them with soap spray?
No, it is usually not 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.
How many refills do I get with one soap spray?
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.
What types of refills are available?
Refills are available for soap sprays for bathrooms, all-purpose cleaning, and kitchens. In the “Refills for Soap Sprays” category, you’ll find various packages.
Can I buy a refill for the soap spray separately?
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.
What exactly is a refill?
The refills are simply a highly concentrated soap that, when diluted, gives you 500 ml of cleaning soap.
What is POP packaging?
The refill bottles are made of 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.
What should I do with the small bottle?
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 replace 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.
How do I recycle the bottles?
All our bottles should be sorted as rigid plastic for recycling. The large spray bottle should be reused again and again until it wears 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.
Where is it manufactured?
Soapa is made in Vilhelmina, located in Västerbotten’s inland region. Here, we have our own small factory where the oil is purified and saponified into soap. The factory is exclusively ours; no other brands manufacture their products here.
Can the soap in the 0.5-liter bottles be used instead of the refills?
With the refill and the included bottle, you get a ready-to-use solution with a pH of approximately 9. If you mix it yourself, you should aim for roughly this level. Since everyone mixes differently when preparing their own solution, it is difficult for us to recommend or provide instructions for custom mixtures. However, we can guarantee the performance of the mixture made from the refill and the included bottle.
What do you use the baking soda and vinegar for?
Baking soda can be used for many different things, both on its own and together with water or vinegar. For example, you can use it on clothes, on the stove, or to clean copper or jewelry, among other things.
Vinegar can be used to remove limescale, stains from clothes, and unpleasant odors, among other things.
Can the soap be used on tiles and grout?
Yes, 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.
Can I use soap on limescale?
No, limescale deposits are most easily removed with vinegar, as an acidic substance is needed.
Can you use the soap spray in the toilet bowl?
Yes, but it is primarily intended for light cleaning of the outside of the toilet. For cleaning the inside of the toilet bowl, the concentrated soap is a more effective option.

Tack så mycket för det fina betyget! :) Vi hoppas att du är lika nöjd efter att alla fönstren blivit rengjorda.
Hej Britt! Vad roligt att höra att du är nöjd med fönsterputsmedlet och att den går så fint resultat på dina fönster. Tack för din fina feedback!
Tack så mycket för återkoppling - och för bilder! :) Vi hoppas att du får nytta och glädje av produkterna under lång tid framöver.
Mild fräsch doft. Lämnar inga ränder och ytor blir blanka och märkbart rena!
Fantastisk
Tack för det fina omdömet, Jessica! :)
Bra funktion men blev riktigt besviken på doften. Luktar starkt av artificiell lavendelparfym, nästan som billig doftfräschare/spray för badrum. Inte alls så mild och naturlig som jag föreställt mig av en annars "naturlig" städprodukt.
Den bästa fönster puts jag använt.
Fönsterputs och såpspray var överraskande bra.
Har lite svårt med den koncentrerade såpan, vet inte hur jag ska använda den på ett bra sätt.
Fantastisk doft och allt blir rent och fint!!
Så nöjd med såpan luktar frisk och gott.
Okej men inte mer
Tack så mycket för din recension, Gunhild! :)
Som vanligt köpte jag era produkter, för att jag vet att de fungerar både för miljön och för städning.

Hej Brita - vad roligt att höra att du är nöjd med vårt lavendelpaket och att din tvätt luktar gott! Tack för din fina feedback. :)
Helt otroligt
Tack så mycket för det fina betyget, Per! :)
Jättebra lavendelsåpa! Tycker dock bättre om de flaskorna jag fick i startpaketet. Där sprayar man på såpan. Kommer inte så mycket med dem = bättre.
Tack för ditt fina omdöme, Susanne! :) Såpsprayen och såpan i pumpflaskan är egentligen framtagna för lite olika typer av rengöring.
Såpsprayen passar bra för enklare och löpande rengöring, där man vill kunna spraya på en mindre mängd. Såpan i pumpflaskan är mer lämpad för grovrengöring och när man behöver en större mängd såpa för att få bort mer smuts.
Använder bara Västerbottenssåpa. Bästa såpan. Nu kan man även köpa på butik i Sollefteå.
Hej Birgitta, tack för din fina feedback! Vad roligt att höra att du är nöjd med såpan och att du nu kan köpa den lokalt. :)

Effektiv.

Bra med påfyllnadsflaskor.
Härlig & lagom doft även om jag hade kunnat ha lite starkare lavendel☺️
Är jättenöjd.
Tack så mycket för det fina omdömet, Susanne! :) Vi beklagar att doften inte levde upp till dina förväntningar. Vi använder mild parfymdos för att skapa en behaglig doftupplevelse utan att den ska vara för påträngande. Parfymen tillsätts i mycket små mängder (0,01%) för att säkerställa att våra produkter är så skonsamma som möjligt.
Alltid nöjd med era produkter
Det är vi väldigt glada och tacksamma för, Inger. Stort tack för det fina betyget! :)
