For the release of our maintenance products, we wanted to offer two detergent recipes: one with black soap , the other with Marseille soap . In this article, we wanted to introduce you to each of these products in more detail, their compositions and their actions, in the context of our recipes but also more generally.

black soap
Black soap can be found in two forms: liquid or solid (or "soft"). Its composition is particularly simple. Rich in vegetal oils (flax or olive) and potassium hydroxide, this 100% natural product is self-sufficient. It can also be used in addition to other ingredients, depending on the use you want to make of it. Healthy for your home, but also for the ecology, its use is an economic asset, adapting perfectly to small budgets due to its low purchase cost. Effective, healthy and inexpensive... Perfect, right?
What are the actions of black soap on household linen?
We have selected black soap as the key ingredient in our homemade detergent recipe for several reasons. Indeed, it makes it possible to obtain a hypoallergenic detergent, promising your laundry cleanliness and pleasant fragrance .
It is also an excellent stain remover . It is particularly effective in removing stubborn stains from fabrics (clothes, tea towels, towels, etc.). If you want to use it alone, you can apply it before going through the washing machine or leave it on for a few minutes before rinsing it off with hot water. You still have to be careful with light fabrics on which black soap could leave traces.
As part of our recipe, we couple it with water and household baking soda. We also offer you the brand's black soap Briochin, a quality ingredient that perfectly meets the needs of your laundry. To make your detergent with black soap , you can click here.
Black soap is also excellent for other uses such as:
Degrease your interior :

The black soap is preferably rinsed with hot water. You can also leave it on particularly dirty areas and rinse off after a few hours.
Clean your dishes :
It is very effective on textures such as silverware, copper, brass and stainless steel... Thus, we advise you to pour hot water and a few drops of black soap into a tray, leave dip your cutlery and enjoy the result.
Marseille soap
This soap results from the saponification of a mixture of vegetable oils with soda. Olive oil is the majority vegetable oil in its composition and makes it a natural soap. In solid form, it can be found in different sizes and shapes: cube, oval, shavings, flakes... We can also find it in various colors: green, white or cream. This color varies according to the oils that compose it!
Particularly inexpensive, it is ideal for small budgets and for consumers who would like to use a soap that is good for their wallet and for the planet!
What are the benefits of Marseille soap on laundry?
Our grandparents can tell us that there is nothing better than real Marseille soap to take care of our laundry. Hypoallergenic , it has a famous stain-removing power, respecting the textiles and fabrics on which it is applied. It is also known to keep moths away from our cabinets thanks to its smell and its composition. Like black soap, it can be used alone or with other ingredients. Alone, it applies to stained areas, leaves on or perhaps rinses off immediately with warm or hot water.
Most use white soap for laundry. However, be careful because it is very greasy and can sometimes damage the pipes.
In our recipe, we also offer it with water and household baking soda. Still under the Briochin brand, we offer it in sequins, ideal format to allow a perfect result! To make this recipe, just go To be.
Marseille soap is also perfect for:
Clean the leathers :
Respectful of fragile materials such as leather, you can perfectly use it to refresh your sofas, armchairs or bags... On a slightly damp sponge, rub your soap until you obtain a light foam and work gently on your material. The result is incredible!
Clean your toilet :
The little trick here is to sprinkle a tablespoon of shavings or glitter in your toilet and let it work overnight.
