Castile Soap: Benefits & Uses

Versatile, concentrated and eco-responsible, a single bottle of Castile soap is enough to clean almost anything safely. It’s simple, natural and cost-effective and cleans without any chemicals.

What is Castile soap? Castile soap is a multi-use vegetable-based soap made free of synthetic ingredients. This soap is natural, biodegradrable and nontoxic. There are so many ways to use Castile soap and some of them may surprise you. I am providing my top three favourite tips and recipes to use Castile soap but feel free to adjust the the ratios to suit your personal preferences. Castile soap has a long shelf life however when diluted it should be used within a few weeks.


This one bottle has replaced a multitude of products in my house and I feel good using it. Personally, some examples of how I love to use it are : as a body wash, a hand soap, dish soap, floor cleaner, bathroom cleaner, foot scrub and even as a soap for my dog!
