Linseed Soap

Allbäck Linseed Soap for all cleaning can be used on all surfaces and for personal hygiene. The pH is approximately 9.5 undiluted. Allbäck Linseed Soap is made from Swedish cold-pressed raw cleaned linseed oil, without any additives or chemicals. It has a healing effect on minor wounds or irritated skin. A small amount of linseed oil is left as residue and remains on the surface, this is beneficial. The soap can also be used in kitchens, bathrooms, for brushes, wood/stone, plastic floors, benches, etc. Please note: it is not suitable for dishwashers.

For normal cleaning

Dosage:

• Use 100ml soap to about a bucketful of water.Reduce the amount of water for heavy duty cleaning. In hard water areas, white flecks may appear. This does not affect effectiveness.

Caution!

• A soap scrubbed floor may need special cleaning, e.g. with a larger amount of water and a wet vacuum if you want to paint it with Linseed Oil Paint or treat it with Linseed Oil Wax.
• A floor treated with lye (Sodium/potassium hydroxide) must be neutralised with acetic acid and water before treatment with Linseed Oil Paint or with Linseed Oil wax.
• Stains on textiles: Rub the soap in with a little water and leave to stand. Wash in a washing machine.

Cleaning fittings: 

• Boil rusty fittings in 50% soap and 50% water for a few hours.
• Leave to cool overnight.
• Remove the fittings, brush "in" clean in the water and leave to dry.
