We’ve had so many people asking about how to use the vegan dishwashing block, so here goes!
As you’re probably aware, plastic-packaged detergents can be horrible for the environment. Not only do they come packed in plastic but they’re often filled to-the-brim with harsh chemicals.
But should you really switch to an eco-friendly and natural detergent?
At first glance, a natural detergent can catch you off guard… I mean... does it really work? Why is it a block? Ok so if it works, and it is indeed a block - how the heck do I use it?
All valid questions, I’m going to give you the facts.
First, the No Tox Life natural detergent works because of:
- Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (all natural, derived from coconuts) effectively lifts and removes dirt
- Glycerin (plant derived) is hygroscopic and a gentle stain remover
- Decyl Glucoside (plant derived) is cleansing and creates a full foamy lather, which is mild on the skin
For the reasons mentioned above, it’s a versatile block of goodness and it can also be used as a carpet cleaner, stain remover and surface cleaner!
So now, how do you use it?
Because this product is a solid block of detergent (instead of a liquid), it works a little different.
So here’s a little video that shows you exactly how you can get the best results when using your dishwashing block. P.S they last for ages!
Many people will fill a sink with warm soap water and wash their dishes with that.
This dish block is palm-oil free and contains all natural ingredients. It's a mild detergent so you will not get the best results washing your dishes this way.
We recommend to simply:
- Get sponge or dish brush
- Lightly wet
- Rub sponge/ dish brush on your dish block
- Rub sponge/ dish brush on dishes to create lather
- Rinse dishes!
Alternatively, you can also grate a small amount into a container, add a small amount of water (keep the concentration high) and mix it up to create soapy water!
You can then dip your brush/sponge in when needed.
Remember, a little goes a really long way, and one dish block can last you up to 6 months!
