How Castile Soap Breaks Down Grease, Oil & Bodily Fluids

When it comes to eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaning, few things are as effective as MamaSuds Castile Soap. But how does it actually work to remove oil, grease, and bodily fluids like blood, urine, and feces?

The Science Behind Castile Soap’s Cleaning Power

Castile soap is a natural surfactant, meaning it helps break apart and lift away oils, fats, and organic matter. Here’s how:

1. Breaking Down Grease & Oil

Grease and oil can be stubborn, but MamaSuds Castile Soap makes quick work of them. Its soap molecules have two ends:

• Hydrophilic (water-attracting) end: This part bonds with water.
• Hydrophobic (oil-attracting) end: This part grabs onto grease and oil.

When you apply Castile soap, these molecules surround the grease and oil, breaking them apart so they can be rinsed away easily.

2. Removing Blood, Urine & Feces

Organic stains like blood, urine, and feces contain proteins, uric acid, and bacteria, which can be tough to clean. MamaSuds Castile Soap helps in two ways:

• Blood: The soap’s mild alkaline properties break down the proteins in blood, making it easier to wash out of fabrics.
• Urine & Feces: The soap lifts away waste particles and neutralizes odors without the need for synthetic fragrances or harsh chemicals.

Safe, Effective & Eco-Friendly

Unlike synthetic detergents, MamaSuds Castile Soap cleans without leaving toxic residues, making it safe for sensitive skin, clothing, and even cloth diapers. Plus, it’s biodegradable, so it’s safe for the environment.

Answer: Maybe you're thinking to yourself, it's on the product page isn't it?

Actually it's on there twice but that's not the point.

The point is that you are all feeling totally over the "duped again" feeling, am I right? You think you have found a clean laundry product then you get the product and it's not the same as what was listed on the website (or some variation of this).

So even though it's on our website a lot, we don't mind ingredient questions at all (we love them) and totally understand why it's asked so much.

Here is the entire ingredient list: water (distilled or RO), potassium olivate which is also called saponified olive oil (our very own castile soap), sodium carbonate, and sodium borate.

If you get the lemon or lavender scent then we use pure essential oils (nothing synthetic). 

 

That's it! 

How to Clean Indoor Plants with MamaSuds

MamaSuds offers a natural, eco-friendly way to clean your indoor plants - and it's pretty simple. Here's how it works: Use MamaSuds All-Purpose Spray to mist your plant, and watch the dirt and grime disappear with each wipe. Plus, this solution is safe for both you and your plants! So if you're looking for an easy way to keep your plants clean and healthy, MamaSuds is the way to go.

Gather your supplies - you'll need some MamaSuds soap of your choice, and a cloth

Look in your closet, under the sink, or wherever you hide all the MamaSuds products that make cleaning easy: it's time to grab your supplies so you can get cleaning! Grab a spray bottle, your favorite MamaSuds Castile Soap (or our ready-to-use MamaSuds All-Purpose Cleaner), and don't forget to bring along a cloth. A cloth helps spread out that MamaSuds love so that every corner is getting some special attention while you're cleaning. Then just sit back and admire your hard work and all the effort you've put into getting those surfaces shiny and spectacular!

Spray your plants with the cleaner, but don't go crazy

Although it seems reasonable to assume that spray-cleaning your plants would help keep them in tip-top shape, don't be tempted to go too crazy with it. Overdoing it can damage the delicate leaves and deter their growth. Using a bit of moderation is always helpful when you spray the cleaner - think of it as the golden rule and your plants will thank you for it!

Wipe down each leaf with the cloth until it's shining

Cleaning your plants may not be the most glamorous job, but it's certainly one that must be done. Just think of all the dust and dirt particles stuck in the leaves that you can easily remove with a simple wipe of a cloth! And imagine the satisfaction of seeing each leaf shine after your hard work pays off. Give yourself a pat on the back as you put away your cleaning supplies and admire your beautifully polished green friends!

Repeat every few weeks to keep your plants looking their best!

Keeping your plants looking their best doesn't have to be a chore. All it takes is a few repeat visits every couple of weeks, and you'll find your green friends are the envy of the garden! Make sure to check for any dead leaves or flowers, provide them with some water, and give them each (oh, who am I kidding - talk to them!) a little bit of tender loving care. You'll love coming home to the sight of vibrant foliage!

 

Now that you know how to properly clean your houseplants, there's no excuse for having a dusty fern! Gather your supplies and get to work - your plants will thank you. And if you need any more motivation, just think of all the money you'll save by not having to buy new plants every few weeks. So what are you waiting for? Go grab a bottle of MamaSuds All-Purpose Cleaner and get cleaning!
