Why You'll Love It

  • Cuts through grease naturally
  • Gentle on hands
  • Plastic-free alternative to bottled dish soap
  • Long lasting and economical
  • Fresh, clean citrus scent
  • Simple low-waste kitchen essential

Directions – Use as a Solid Dish Soap

This bar can be used directly for everyday dishwashing. For best results, rinse excess food from dishes first. While filling your sink with hot water, hold the bar briefly under the running water. Then hold the bar in your hand and shake it vigorously near the water surface to help create extra bubbles and activate the lather.
Wash dishes as usual using a cloth, sponge, or dish brush. You can also rub a wet brush or sponge directly onto the bar for concentrated cleaning power.

Gentle for You & the Environment

This bar helps reduce single-use plastic bottles and unnecessary packaging while keeping your kitchen routine simple and effective.

Size

Approx. 8cm x 6cm x 2cm
A compact bar that lasts well and works hard in the kitchen.

DIY Liquid Dishwash Soap

You can also turn this bar into a convenient liquid dishwash soap. It’s quick, easy to make, and yields approximately 500ml.

Step 1 – Grate the Bar
Using a fine cheese grater, grate the entire bar into a bowl. The finer the shreds, the faster and smoother the soap will melt.

Step 2 – Dissolve the Soap
Measure an equal volume of water to the amount of grated soap and pour it into a pot. Bring the water to the boil, then remove from the heat.
Add the grated soap and stir well until it begins to dissolve.
If small pieces remain, return the pot to low heat and gently simmer while stirring until fully melted. If needed, add a little extra water during this stage (up to ½ cup).

Step 3 – Cool & Bottle
Allow the mixture to cool completely. Once cooled, pour into a pump bottle or dispenser and it is ready to use.

Handy Tip

If the soap thickens too much after cooling, simply stir in a small amount of warm water until you reach your preferred consistency.

Ingredients: Coconut Oil, Castor Oil, Spring Water, Lye (saponified oils), Blend of Natural Essential Oils

Shiny Glass

Before discovering your dishwash bar I have been washing my dishes with sunlight soap and baking soda, which works, however your bar is so much easier to use, plus on top of that it gives especially glass a shine, which I love!!!

Loving this Dish Soap

Thank you Korukai for this great soap. I purchased the metal thingy the soap goes into and am pleased with my change and progress away from plastic, even if it was recyclable. Even tho I brought Eco brands of dishwash in the past they are still commercialised. Love the soap.

Great soap

The dishwash soap is great, I live off-grid in a vintage bus and so take care with everything going into the grey water and I feel good about this :)

Cleans well without lots of bubbles

Used this for the first time this evening. It’s really effective.<br /> <br /> I still have to get used to the idea that bubbles don’t do the cleaning. The dish water had hardly any bubbles but all the dishes were well cleaned.<br /> <br /> We don’t have a dishwasher so it was a full day’s load of dishes through the sink! It’s so good to ditch another lot of packaging.<br /> <br /> Will definitely get these again.

Change for good

I could bare the idea of using products (even organic) in a plastic bottle. The bar works as well as any other product without the nasties and the so unwanted packaging!

Dishwash Bar

We have found this bar great for cutting through grease, cleaning my juicer of carrot stains and other tougher dish cleaning. We have only used it as a solid bar so far, not grated into a liquid.

Dishwash Bar Convert

This bar does exactly what it says. Cuts through grease & has a lovely refreshing lemon fragrance. I use as is. Nice & easy to use & happy to be cutting back on plastic containers.
