Our Olive Block Marseille Soap 10kg can be sliced yourself. The case-shaped packaging optimizes its conservation, freshness and ease of cutting.
Over time and with the seasons, Marseille soap evolves: it loses its water to become more solid and gain in effectiveness. The case of our Block allows it to maintain its freshness to facilitate cutting. Poured into its case straight from the cauldron, our Marseille Soap retains its strong characteristic odor which comes from the cooking of olive pomace oils and soda. Upon receipt, we advise you to cut your block and then let it dry.

Huile de grignon d'olive
L'extraction de l'huile d'olive vierge entraîne la création de résidus que l'on appelle grignons d'olive. Ces derniers se composent de la pulpe du fruit, de fragments de noyaux, d'eau et d'une petite quantité d'huile d'olive résiduelle. Notre huile de grignon d'olive, provenant du bassin méditerranéen est riche en acides gras, vitamines et antioxydants pour nourrir et protéger la peau.
We recommend that you pre-cut the block upon receipt while it is still fresh, because over time the water contained in the soap evaporates and the block hardens. To do this, use a large toothless kitchen knife previously passed under hot water to make cutting easier or a saw. Collect the soap crumbs to use as shavings.
Marseille soap is ideal for washing the whole family. It is suitable for all skin types. It can also be used as a multi-purpose household cleaner. It effectively cleans, degreases and stains all surfaces and laundry.

Iron
Regularly clean the soleplate of the iron that has become dirty or yellow by rubbing a piece of dry soap when the soleplate is slightly warm. Wipe with a soft dry cloth or a ball of newspaper to shine the surface.
Makeup brushes, sponges
Regular washing will rid them of dust particles and makeup residue that have accumulated over time. Gently soap the brushes without crushing them too much so as not to break the bristles. Repeat washing until the water is clear. Dry them with a dry cloth, then turn them upside down so that the brushes return to their original shape.
Mattress
To keep a mattress fresh and clean, simply pass a washcloth moistened with Marseille soap over the surfaces to be cleaned. Then iron a glove soaked in clean water to rinse and leave to dry all day.

For non-removable bed covers, wash with a sponge dampened with soap. For odorous and stubborn stains, rub with soap and a little baking soda, leave for a few hours to remove the dirt then rinse. Allow to air dry well.

Store Marseille soap
Store Marseille soap in a shaded, dry place. It is in fact a living material with a complexion and a shape that can evolve over time and depending on its exposure to air, humidity and light. It will nevertheless retain all its qualities and effectiveness. Our grandmothers left it to dry for months in their cupboards so that it becomes extra-dry and lasts longer with use.

Use a cheese grater to make shavings from a cube or a bar of Marseille soap. We recommend that you preferably use beige vegetable soap which will be harder and easier to grate than that with olive oil.
