Zum Laundry Soap is made for cleaning clothes, but it doesn’t stop there. From quick household cleanups to creative, just-works solutions, there are plenty of surprisingly effective uses for this natural laundry soap beyond the washer. Below, we’re sharing our favorite Zum-approved ways to put your bottle to work around the house (yes, even in the kitchen).
1. Mop Hard Floors – Dilute a small amount of laundry soap in warm water to clean sealed tile, vinyl, or laminate floors. Laundry soap contains ingredients that help lift everyday dirt and grime. Always rinse with clean water to avoid residue.
2. Hand-Wash Delicates – Zum Laundry Soap can be gently diluted for hand-washing delicate items like lingerie or sweaters. Its soap-based formula helps clean fabrics without the harshness of some detergents.
3. Customize Your Scent Experience – One unique benefit of liquid laundry soap is the ability to blend scents. Mixing small amounts allows you to create a custom fragrance for loads of cleaning solutions.
4. Clean Makeup Brushes – A drop of diluted laundry soap works well to break down makeup oils and residue. Rinse thoroughly and allow brushes to air dry completely.
5. Spot-Clean Fabrics – Laundry soap can be applied directly to stains on clothing or upholstery before rinsing or washing. Use sparingly and test on an inconspicuous area.
6. Wash Dishes (In a Pinch) – So, can you use laundry soap to wash dishes? Yes – occasionally. Use a very small amount diluted with water to hand-wash dishes if dish soap isn’t available. Choose low-suds, fragrance-light formulas and rinse thoroughly to prevent residue.
