Detailed product description
Contains a total of 1000 ml: 500 ml in the tin, 500 ml in the refill bag, and a measuring spoon. Soap flakes are ideal for cleaning and soap-treating wooden and tiled floors. The flakes have been used for generations as a traditional Danish cleaning method and are particularly known for preserving the natural beauty of wood for years. Soap flakes can be used to clean wooden floors, leaving them clean and well-maintained. They are also excellent for soap-treating lye-treated floors and wooden furniture, giving them a protective and attractive patina. Soap flakes are suitable for cleaning various surfaces, including untreated and varnished wood, tiled and stone floors, as well as terrazzo and linoleum. Our soap flakes are manufactured in Denmark according to a traditional, old Danish recipe. The white quality has the right flake size and a fat content of 80%, ensuring reliable product quality. The flakes are made from palm oil and coconut oil. They contain no perfume, preservatives, or optical brighteners. You can recognize good quality as follows: If the flakes dissolve in boiled water (cooled to hand warmth) and the water turns gray, the quality is poor and can cause the wood to turn gray. We recommend treating your wooden floors etc. with soap: Before you start, have the following ready: 10-L floor bucket, floor cloth, micare soap flakes, floor scrubber, scouring pads, grit 180 (for stubborn stains). Dissolve 20 grams of soap per 1 liter of lukewarm water. (We recommend cooling boiled water to hand warmth before adding the soap flakes). Clean the floor thoroughly with the lukewarm soapy water – clean in the direction of the wood grain. Rinse with a wrung-out, clean cloth and cold, clean water. (This removes excess soap residue and prevents the fat in the soap from dissolving). The floor is walkable when completely dry. We recommend treating your natural stone and tiled floors with soap: Before you start, have the following ready: 10-L floor bucket, cotton floor cloth, micare soap flakes, floor scrubber, optional: scrubber for stubborn dirt in joints. Dissolve the flakes in boiled water cooled to hand warmth. Use 10 g of soap flakes per 1 liter of water (about 1/4 cup). Whisk the flakes thoroughly until dissolved. Place the cotton cloth in the soapy water and then wash with it. (Change the water if necessary). Let the floor dry completely before walking on it. Soap flakes are good for cleaning tiled floors for several reasons: They are mild and contain no harsh chemicals, making them gentle on tile surfaces. They clean effectively without damaging the surface or affecting its natural shine. Soap flakes, made from natural fats, can be more environmentally friendly than many commercially available cleaning products. This makes them a good choice for anyone who wants to avoid synthetic chemicals. When soap flakes are dissolved and used to clean tiled floors, they leave a light soap film on the surface. This film can help protect the floor from dirt and stains, as it makes it more difficult for dirt to adhere to the surface. Finally, soap flakes can also be used for cleaning and maintaining the grout between tiles. The mild soap residue can help keep the grout free from dirt and deposits, which must be kept moist and prevents drying out.
Important tips:
Use on stone surfaces: Make sure to whisk the soap flakes well to avoid soap residue. Safety: Note that soap flakes can make surfaces slippery, especially in the bathroom. Be sure to rinse off excess soap thoroughly. Wood treatment: Always test on a small area before treating old wood. Avoid use on veneer, as it can dissolve the glue. You can add a teaspoon of titanium white or a little pipe cleaner to the soapy water to brighten and care for your lye-treated wooden floors.
Other traditional uses
Soap flakes can also be used for laundry, foot baths, and wound cleaning.
