We are used to having a detergent for every situation. We are advertised separate detergents for cleaning windows, counters, floors, toilets, kitchens and laundry. And even those that are “as effective as possible”, i.e. toxic to us, people and the environment. This need has been sold to us as real through advertisements and images. In reality, we do not need so many detergents for each different item, and we do not need toxins to keep our homes clean. In fact, for example, in the kitchen, one Sopo Keittiötön Aito Palasoippu is enough. With it, you can wash counters, kitchen counters and other surfaces, as well as sinks, just as effectively as with substances that contain many unhealthy or even toxic ingredients.
It is amazing how little we question the necessity of toxic and “effective” substances. We do not necessarily think that, for example, residues of dishwashing detergent are transferred through the dishes into the body. Everything that we spray and rub on the surfaces of the home also to some extent gets on the skin and the air we breathe and is transferred through it into the body. Detergents containing harmful substances used in the home also transfer to the environment and waterways.
We need non-toxic detergents not only for our health but also for our environment.
A natural and healthy detergent keeps our home just as clean as the more toxic alternatives sold to us. We can also think about what is an adequate level of hygiene, as overly effective and antibacterial detergents also weaken our immunity in the long run. We don't need an overly hygienic environment, where the conditions and good microbes that maintain a healthy immune system are also destroyed.

How to clean your kitchen with bar soap
Turn bar soap into a liquid all-purpose cleaner
You can make a multi-purpose all-purpose cleaner from bar soap by grating the soap into lukewarm water in a spray bottle, from which you can conveniently spray the washing water when cleaning. Mix a tablespoon of the grated soap with one liter of water in a spray bottle. This solution is well suited for cleaning kitchen surfaces, such as countertops, cabinets and sinks. Spray the solution onto the surface and wipe with a damp cloth.
Wash dishes with bar soap
You can use bar soap for washing dishes. Apply the soap to a dishwashing brush by lightly dabbing the brush into the soap. The natural soap effectively removes grease and dirt, but is gentle on your hands. This makes it a great option for daily dishwashing.
Cleaning stains from surfaces
When cleaning surfaces around your home, dampen a bar of soap and rub it onto a damp sponge or cloth. Use the soap-dampened sponge or cloth to clean surfaces and kitchen utensils.
Floor washing
Mix a few tablespoons of grated soap with a bucket of hot water. Use this solution to wash your floors. The soap will remove dirt and leave your floors fresh and clean without any chemical residue.
Oven and stove cleaning
Mix Keittio's real bar soap and baking soda into a paste. Apply the paste to the dirty surfaces of the oven or stove and let it sit for a while. Then scrub the surfaces clean and wipe with a damp cloth. This combination also works great for removing stubborn grease.
Steel surface polishing
Real bar soap also works well for cleaning steel surfaces. Apply a small amount of soap to a damp cloth and wipe the surfaces. Rinse with water and dry with a clean cloth to give the surfaces a beautiful shine.
