Linseed oil soap and its uses

Our Linseed oil soap is a handcrafted soap, based on biologically grown flax of the highest quality. Scented with an essential citrus oil.

At Ovolin, you will also find our soap range with brown soap, Hälsinge soap, and other traditional cleaning agents.

Fattier than regular soap but at the same time sharper (higher pH value). Which makes it unbeatable at dissolving grease and dirt.

Here are some suggested uses

• All common surfaces in the kitchen, sink, tiles, oven, refrigerator, etc.
• All surfaces in the bathroom, tiles, porcelain, toilet, shower cabin, etc.
• Excellent on wooden floors, tile/stone floors, also plastic mats.
• In the washing machine about 1 dl/normal wash, also for wool washing.
• Perfect for scrubbing rag rugs.
• Hands – effective for washing oily hands.
• Dirty work clothes or stained children's clothes, soak overnight in a bucket with linseed oil soap and water 50/50, then wash as usual.
• Brush cleaning, let brushes soak in half soap/half water, then wash.
• Scrub the gravestone, wash the car, the grill… you name it!
• Scrub decking and patios or ugly outdoor stair railings.
• Last but not least, scrub treat a wooden floor! Overdo the amount of soap in the water bucket if it is the first time you are treating the floor. Be careful not to spill pure soap on a dry floor, it can cause stains. You can wet the floor with water first to be on the safe side.

Use about 4-5 dl/10L linseed oil soap in cold water and scrub in the direction of the wood grain. It will foam, wipe afterwards with a cloth. If the floor is dirty, rinse with cold clean water afterwards. Repeat the procedure 3 times for new treatment.

Then maintain the floor by regular damp mopping with about 0.5 dl/10L
soap in the water.

* Avoid using linseed oil soap on linseed oil painted surfaces.
