The same soap that cares for your skin, now caring for your home.
Every batch of handcrafted soap leaves behind ends and trimmings. Too small to sell, too good to throw away. So we grate them up, mix in washing soda and borax, and bag it. What you get is a concentrated, all-purpose cleaner made from at least 10 different varieties of the same olive and coconut oil soap bars we've been making for over 25 years.
The mix changes batch to batch. One week it might include shreds from our Age Well facial bars. The next, bits of Mango Tea or Oatmeal Milk & Honey. The color varies. The subtle scent shifts. But it's always real soap, and it always works.
"I hated throwing away perfectly good soap just because it was the wrong shape. These ends and trimmings are the same formula, the same quality. Grating them up for laundry and cleaning just made sense. Now our scraps clean your clothes, your dishes, your sinks. Nothing wasted. Full circle."
"I tried this on a whim. I've been wanting to get away from the plastic bottles of commercial laundry soap, so the idea of this tickled me. I wondered if it would really get things clean. So far I've used it for about 8 loads, and the clothes all seem clean and odor-free. So far so good!"
washing soda, borax, grated shreds of handcrafted soap bars (minimum 10 varieties per batch). Soap base: saponified oils of olive and coconut. May also contain: shea butter, goat milk, oatmeal, essential oils, phthalate-free fragrance, mineral colorants, and other ingredients from our soap bar formulas.
Small shop, real humans. Sometimes the label gets reprinted faster than the formula changes; sometimes the formula is current and the label is catching up. If you're managing an allergy or sensitivity, the safest path is to check both this page and the printed label. If anything's missing or unclear, ask us. We'd rather answer the question than have you guess.
For Laundry: Add 2 tablespoons to ¼ cup per load, sprinkling directly on clothes in the washer. Works in standard and HE machines.
For Scrubbing Sinks & Tubs: Sprinkle dry onto the surface, add a little water, and scrub. Works like Comet, but it's just soap.
For Mopping & General Cleaning: Dissolve ¼ cup in a gallon of warm water.
For Dishes: Add a tablespoon to a sink of warm water, or sprinkle directly on pots and pans. Not for dishwashers.
Q: Will this work in my HE washer?
A: Yes. Use 2 tablespoons per load. It dissolves well and rinses clean. Some people add a splash of white vinegar to the rinse cycle, but it's not required.
Q: What does it smell like?
A: Subtle and clean. The scent shifts batch to batch depending on which soap bars went into the mix. You might catch hints of lavender one time, citrus the next. It's never strong or perfumy.
Q: Can I use this on delicates or baby clothes?
A: Absolutely. It's the same gentle, skin-safe soap we make for your body. No harsh detergents, no optical brighteners, no synthetic fragrances. Just soap.

I tried this on a whim -- I have been wanting to get away from the plastic bottles of commercial laundry soap, so the idea of this soap tickled me -- reducing waste at the soap factory and also allowing me to reduce packaging waste. I wondered if it would really get things clean, or might leave soap buildup, since it is just ordinary soap. So far I've used it for about 8 loads, using 2 Tbsp of soap and 1/4 cp white vinegar (for rinse) per load, and the clothes all seem clean and odor-free. So far so good!
I loved this from the first time. So gentle and easy to use. Just feels good knowing it’s not adding chemicals to the water supply. Handmade, so a little more pricey than others, but nothing fake or overdone with this laundry soap. I’ve been a fan of Emz soaps for years, so I knew I would love this. I’ve used my left over bars for washing items by hand. So it’s only “natural” (😉) that this would be a great product!
I bought this on a whim and am very happy with my purchase.
It cleans my clothes well and does not leave a scent that bothers my husband.
A great way to use less plastic bottles, too!
I love this laundry soap. Now, my clothes come out of the laundry not only clean but have never felt and smelled fresher.
