“Why can't someone make a simple cleaning product that works? All natural, with no additives, perfumes, or harsh chemicals.”
Dri-Pak, the only maker of Soap Flakes in England, and one of the few in the world, makes a centuries old, simple and effective laundry and cleaning product called Soap Flakes. Now available in the USA.
Soap Flakes are pure soap in a flake form
( Take a look )
Shaped like tiny flat diamonds, Soap Flakes are made from a 100% vegetable base of palm and coconut oils. They contain no additives. No bleaches, no phosphates, no enzymes, no harsh chemicals. Soap Flakes are so simple, they don't even contain any perfume - ideal for those with sensitive skin.
Soap Flakes are perfect for washing delicate fabrics, silks, woolens and specially treated micro-fiber fabrics such as waterproof sports and outdoor clothing. Soap Flakes have not been tested on animals and are completely biodegradable.
Other uses for Soap Flakes include home-manufacturing of soap, particularly by people who do not want bleaches, phosphates, enzymes or perfume in their household soap. Crafters buy Soap Flakes for their craft projects, or to use as a base material to create soap sculptures. In Scandinavia, Soap Flakes are used for washing down wood floors and they have also been used in many countries for the preparation of show horses and dogs--it leaves coats looking naturally clean and shiny.
Until 2002, Dri-Pak also made the popular Lux brand of Soap Flakes. Now that Unilever has withdrawn the Lux Flakes brand from the market, Dri-Pak Soap Flakes are the best way to care for your delicates.
Directions for use
For most applications, dissolve Soap Flakes thoroughly in hot water and allow to cool to skin temperature before washing. Add sufficient Soap Flakes to make a rich, creamy lather. Rinse garments thoroughly afterward and always follow any special care instructions on the garment label. Soap Flakes Usage Instructions (PDF)
For soap making and sculpting, add just enough warm water to make the flakes bind together in a pliable moldable piece.
Do not ingest. In case of ingestion, seek medical advice.
