Details
Every conventional dishwash bar in an Indian kitchen fails in the exact same four ways: it turns into a soggy mush in a wet soap dish that wastes a third of the bar; it uses cheap unrefined quarry dust containing hard quartz silica that micro-scratches stainless steel, glass, and brass; it leaves a cloudy white lime film on dried vessels; and its caustic pH 11 petroleum chemicals strip the skin off your hands. Spring Dishwash Bar fixes all four through transparent engineering:
- Steel-Safe Calcite Scouring (Mohs 3.0): Scouring power is delivered by 42% micronized food-grade calcium carbonate (d50 approx 22.5 microns, zero retention on a 250-micron sieve). Calcite has a certified Mohs hardness of 3.0, while stainless steel is Mohs 5.5. Because 3.0 is softer than 5.5, it lifts stubborn burnt grease without ever scratching cookware, glassware, or brass.
- Zero Mush Crystalline Matrix: Structured with 14% pure plant stearic acid and 3% cetearyl alcohol. Triple-pressed stearic acid is water-insoluble with a crystalline melting point of 69°C. Instead of capillary wicking, water beads off the bar. It absorbs under 3.5% water after 2 hours of direct immersion and stays stone-firm in wet sink trays.
- Zero White Film Chelation: Contains 2% food-grade trisodium citrate dihydrate to chelate hard water calcium and magnesium ions, ensuring grease rinses off cleanly in cold tap water without leaving a chalky drying haze or soap scum.
- Dermatological Mildness (Measured pH 7.20): Formulated at skin-neutral pH 7.20 +/- 0.30 rather than caustic pH 11. Powered by coconut-derived Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI) and Coco-Glucoside, fortified with 2% vegetable glycerin to prevent dryness and cracking on dishwashers' hands.
- Zero Harmful Additives: Strictly zero petroleum LAS/LABSA, zero quartz silica, zero synthetic fragrances or dyes, zero phosphates, zero triclosan or biocides, and zero animal tallow.
- Dosing Yield & Economics: A dense 150 g bar yields approximately 75 sinks of cookware (about 2 g per sink), delivering an economical cost of Rs 0.60 per sink (or Rs 0.50 in the 6-pack).
- 100% Plastic-Free Packaging: Wrapped in 45 GSM unbleached virgin greaseproof paper with an FSC-certified 300 GSM unbleached kraft paper band. Multipacks boxed in 350 GSM white-top kraft cartons. Zero plastic wrapper or film.

Rinse, method, yield and economics
- Rinse residue
- Under 0.08 mg anionic surfactant per vessel, verified by MBAS method to APHA 5540 C. Zero soapy aftertaste on food.
- Rinse honestly
- Always rinse under running tap water. Still bucket rinses redeposit suspended food oils from any product.
- Hard water resistance
- Dosed with 2% Trisodium Citrate to chelate tap water calcium and magnesium, completely preventing white chalky lime film.
- Bar format and mass
- 150 g dense solid block (84 x 56 x 32 mm), embossed with SHUUNNYA wordmark.
- Yield per bar
- Approximately 75 sinks of dishes and cookware at roughly 2.0 g per sink load.
- Cost per sink
- About Rs 0.60 per sink (Single bar) down to Rs 0.50 per sink (Pack of 6).
- Soap tray care
- Keep on a draining soap holder. The hydrophobic stearic matrix absorbs <3.5% water, but free drainage maximizes bar life.
