Most suitable uses for diluted Liquid Castille Soap

Liquid Castile Soap is incredibly versatile for most everyday uses either at full strength or very weak dilution.

Liquid Castille Soap is an exceptional household cleaner because it is a highly concentrated, biodegradable and plant-based formula that effectively removes grease, dirt and grime without harsh chemicals.

It's non-toxic, vegan ingredients make it safe on pets and children, while being versatile enough to clean floors, dishes, laundry and surfaces.

Here's our top recommendations for its use throughout your home and outdoor spaces.

Hand Soap

Add a small splash of your full strength Liquid Castille Soap batch to a foaming pump bottle and top up with water (approximately 1 part soap, 6-8 parts water). Turn gently to mix (dont' over shake). Adjust the amount of soap if you prefer a stronger or lighter wash. Add a few drops of your favourite essential oils - antibacterial options are a good choice.

Body wash

Add a small amount of full strength Liquid Castile Soap to your body wash bottle and fill with water (approximately 1 part soap 3-4 parts water). Turn gently to mix (don't over shake). Add a few drops of nourishing oils like jojoba, fractionated coconut oil or almond oil for moisture). Great for showers, camping and everyday use.

Benchtop cleaning

For a simple all purpose benchtop cleaner, mix a 1–2 tablespoons of full strength Liquid Castile Soap with 500ml of water in a spray bottle. For extra cleaning power, add a splash of vinegar or a few drops of essential oil like eucalyptus, tea tree or lemon for antibacterial properties.

Hand Dishwashing

For a simple dishwasher, dilute full strength Liquid Castille Soap using a 1:3 ratio with water in a foaming dispenser, or adding 1-2 teaspoons of full strength liquid to a sink of hot water or directly to a damp sponge or brush. It requires thorough rinsing and drying of dishes immediately with a tea towel to avoid residue, particularly in hard water.

Floor, Bathroom & Toilet cleaning

For a natural floor cleaner, add ¼ cup of Liquid Castile Soap to a bucket of warm water. Mop as usual on tile, wood or laminate floors. For extra freshness, add a few drops of essential oil like eucalyptus or lavender. Use your spray and wipe Liquid Castille Soap blend to clean bathroom benchtops, cabinents and mirrors. Use a small drop of full strength or diluted (1 parts soap, 5-7 parts water) heavy duty cleaning like soap scum in the shower, bathtub and basin for a shiny finish!

Stubborn stains

For tough grime and stains, apply a small drop of full strength Liquid Castile Soap directly to the area. For extra power, mix with baking soda to form a paste. Let sit for a few minutes before scrubbing and rinsing. Perfect for greasy BBQs, stained floors and outdoor walls—strong on dirt, yet safe and biodegradable!

Handwashing clothes

If you have stubborn stains on clothes, a small splash of full strength Liquid Castille Soap scrubbed with a brush or between your hands will effectively remove stains. Great for handwashing laundry at home or camping.

Outdoor home washing

For tough grime and stains, mix 1/4 cup of full strength Liquid Castile Soap to a bucket of hot water for cleaning patios, siding or large outdoor surfces with a soapy scrubbing brush or sponge. To prevent soap scum residue caused by hard water, add some vinegar. Safe to wash into the garden and lawn.

Natural insecticide

For a natural plant insecticide to kill soft bodied insects (aphids, mites, whiteflies and mealybugs), mix 1 tablespoon of full strength Liquid Castille Soap per 1 litre of water. Spray directly onto insects in the early morning or evening to prevent leaf burn. Use a weaker dilution for sensitive plants and delicate foliage.
