Specifications:
Use: Wet the stain-removing soap slightly then rub it directly on the stain. For difficult stains, leave it for 15-30 minutes before laundering. A clean, repurposed toothbrush with soft bristles makes a nice tool for gently loosening stains.
We recommend using cold water and Marseille Soap Flakes, whether you wash the item by hand or in the washing machine.
Further Reading: Savon de Marseille, or Marseille Soap, has been made in France for 600 years. Only a handful of soap makers in the world today still craft Marseille soap by the original standards. Marius Fabre prides itself on being one of those remaining makers, crafting their products for over 110 years.
