Pure Soap
For generations, people washed their clothes, their
homes and themselves with pure soap. Today, it is the
key ingredient of many alternative cleaning recipes.
Soap biodegrades safely and completely, and is non-toxic.
Make sure that you use soap without synthetic scents,
colours or other additives. Even phosphate-free biodegradable
laundry detergent contributes to water pollution.
