Can I add bleach to Liquid Sunshine for bathroom cleaning?

April 30, 2013

Can I add a touch of bleach to a dilution of Liquid Sunshine for bathroom cleaning? While I love the way it cleans, I notice mold comes back a bit quicker in the shower area than when using Soft Scrub with bleach. Thanks! Yes you can. Liquid Sunshine and all of our castile liquid soaps are all compatible with bleach.

Does Vermont Soap make a dishwashing liquid?

April 30, 2013

Dear Mr. Soapman, I would like to know whether Vermont Soap has a dishwashing liquid soap? And If you have, is it less sudsy (so I do not have to use so much water to rinse)? Please reply. Thank you, Mrs. J Hello Mrs J, ANY Castile liquid soap or Liquid Sunshine can be used to wash dishes. Liquid soap foams less than detergents so saturate your applicator with the soap, put a squirt into your dish pan and go to it. Wash and rinse in hot water, All the Best!

Do you need Borax to effectively clean laundry? / How to help ease atopic dermatitis symptoms caused by detergent sensitivity

April 30, 2013

Hi Larry! First let me say that I’m so happy to have found your company! I was looking for a detergent-free laundry soap, and happened upon a short interview of you on YouTube, where I think you mentioned you had dermatitis, which is what prompted you to start the company. My 6 month old baby boy also has atopic dermatitis (eczema), which has gotten so severe, that I’ve reached total desperation. I’ve tried nearly everything, and realized last night that I hadn’t addressed our laundry “soap”, which is huge. I don’t know why I hadn’t thought of it up until…

How big are the homemade soap bars?

April 23, 2013

I’m wondering how large your soap bars are. I can’t see a size listed on the website. Standard bar size: 1.25 thick x 3.25 long x 2.25″ wide. We call them 3.25 oz because that is what they weigh after they sit for about 2 years. Thanks for asking! We will try to make that more clear. Best, Soapman

Do you use alternative sources of energy to manufacture your soap?

April 16, 2013

Hello Larry, I buy Vermont Soap at the outlet in Middlebury and love it. My question is about natural gas distribution to Middlebury. What is your stance on the distribution of natural gas to Middlebury proposed by Vermont Gas Systems’ Addison Natural Gas Project, given as demand for this fuel increases, more natural gas will be sourced from fracked wells, polluting our water supply with chemicals. Do you use alternative sources of energy to manufacture your soap? Thank you. Renee McGuinness God Love Ya Renee. Thanks for thinking about this stuff – we do too! Vermont Soap made an executive…

Can I use the horse shampoo on my dog?

April 9, 2013

I am interested in the pet soap. However, I have a question. I have a horse and a dog, reading the ingredients on both products, it seems to be identical. I assume I can use either product for either animal. Thanks   Hi Madeleine, These two products are similar but they are not exactly the same. If you are only buying one I would have you go with the Horse Shampoo and then use that on your dog and other pets. Thanks for asking! All the Best Larry Plesent
