Laundry Stain Bar

Details

A targeted solid pre-wash cleanser for the four marks that decide whether a shirt lasts another season: collar and cuff sebum, turmeric cooking oil, tea/coffee, and mud. Wet the fabric, rub the bar directly over the mark to generate a dense, concentrated lather, allow it to rest for five to ten minutes, and wash normally in a bucket or machine. In a standard wash cycle, detergent is diluted down to less than 0.15% in thirty litres of water; this bar delivers 15.00% to 25.00% localized surfactant concentration right at the soil-fabric boundary. IS 285 is the Bureau of Indian Standards specification for laundry soaps, grading bars on Total Fatty Matter (TFM)—the exact percentage of active soap versus water and cheap mineral salt fillers. Most commercial laundry bars hide this number because they are over a third sodium sulfate and carbonate filler. We print it plainly: 68.00% pure saponified vegetable soap TFM, exceeding the highest IS 285 Type 1 baseline.

• Pure Vegetable Soap Engine (68.00% TFM): Saponified virgin coconut oil (62.00%) provides instantaneous cold-water flash foam and high lauric (C12) grease-emulsifying power, blended with cold-pressed castor oil soap (6.00%) for dense lather elasticity that prevents brittle bar fracturing over repeated rubs.
• Anti-Lime Soap Scum Protection: In water hardness above 200 ppm, pure soap reacts with calcium to precipitate sticky lime-soap scum on white cuffs. We co-formulate 3.00% active non-ionic Coco-Glucoside with 2.00% food-grade Trisodium Citrate. Citrate complexes calcium ions, while the plant glucoside disperses soap micelles, keeping fabric weaves clean and free of grey film.
• Microscopic Soil Adsorption (3.00% Purified Kaolin Clay): Mass-market bars use coarse mined calcite contaminated with sharp quartz crystals (Mohs 7.0) that tear and fray cotton fibrils. We incorporate purified natural kaolin clay (Mohs 1.5–2.0), whose microscopic plate-like particles grab colloidal dirt and grime without abrasive friction damage to delicate textile yarns.
• Acid Hydrolysis & Odor Neutralization: Dosed with 4.00% food-grade Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda). Bicarbonate safely hydrolyzes acidic body perspiration and neutralizes stubborn sweat odors without hazardous, reprotoxic Borax.
• Honest Absence of Enzymes & Blue Dyes: Liquid proteases and amylases undergo rapid alkaline denaturation and self-digestion (autolysis) at soap pH (> 9.50) over shelf storage; synthetic bright blue dyes are decorative pollutants rubbed into white cotton. We eliminate both completely.
• 100% Fragrance-Free & Hypoallergenic: Zero synthetic perfume, zero masking fragrance, zero essential oils. Screened for all 26 declarable EU allergens with zero detection. Completely hypoallergenic for infant wear, cloth diapers, and sensitive skin.
• Physical Self-Preservation (ISO 29621): Cured to an equilibrium moisture of 10.00% to 12.00% with water activity aw <= 0.50. Bacteria and moulds cannot divide in this low-moisture alkaline matrix, completely eliminating chemical preservatives.
• 100% Plastic-Free Packaging: Hand-wrapped in 45 GSM unbleached greaseproof paper with an FSC-certified 300 GSM unbleached kraft paper outer band. Zero plastic film, zero blister packs.
• Yield & Stain Economics: At about 1.20 g per application, a 100 g bar delivers approximately 80 stain treatments (Rs 0.81 per stain on the single bar; Rs 0.70 on the pack of 3), saving the cost and energy of re-running full hot-water washing machine cycles.
