Summer is for picnics, BBQs, garden games, and days at the beach. Unfortunately, it’s also prime time for the stains of the season — grass, BBQ sauce, ice cream, mud, and sunscreen seem to have a sixth sense for targeting our clothes.
But before you relegate that favourite shirt or sundress to the “painting clothes” pile, there’s an easy, effective, and sustainable way to save your summer wardrobe: our Traditional Laundry Soap, paired with our Laundry Brush.
Why Summer Stains Are Tricky
Warm weather means we sweat more, eat outdoors, and spend time in grassy or sandy spots — all of which can lead to stubborn marks. Summer stains tend to be:
-
Greasy (sunscreen, burgers, ice cream)
-
Pigmented (grass, tomato ketchup, BBQ sauce)
-
Set quickly by the sun if not treated promptly
The key to beating them? Act fast, and use the right tools.
Step 1 – Traditional Laundry Soap
Our Traditional Laundry Soap is inspired by time-tested stain removal methods — no harsh chemicals, just effective cleaning power. Here’s why it’s perfect for summer stains:
-
Gentle yet effective – lifts marks without damaging fibres
-
Multi-use – grate into water for handwashing, or rub directly onto spots
-
Eco-friendly – biodegradable and plastic-free, good for you and the planet
Step 2 – The Laundry Brush
For tougher marks or textured fabrics, pair the soap with our Laundry Brush:
-
Natural bristles get right into fibres to loosen dirt and lift stains
-
Beech wood handle feels great to hold and is built to last
-
Perfect for collars, cuffs, and stubborn spots where stains like to hide
How to Use Them Together
-
Wet the stained area with cool water (hot water can set stains).
-
Rub the Traditional Laundry Soap directly onto the mark.
-
Using the Laundry Brush, work the soap into the fabric with gentle circular motions.
-
Rinse and repeat if needed, then launder as normal.
Summer Stain-Busting Cheat Sheet
-
Grass stains – treat as soon as possible with soap and brush, rinse cold
-
BBQ sauce & ketchup – work from the outside in to avoid spreading
-
Ice cream – cold rinse first, then soap and brush
-
Sunscreen – soap directly on mark, brush to lift oils
