Fer A Cheval Traditional 300g Stain Removing Bar

The Classic Marseille Soap Stain Treatment

Savon de Marseille has been used for centuries to treat stains before washing. This stain-removing bar from the historic Fer à Cheval soapworks in Marseille uses traditional vegetable oil Marseille soap to loosen grease and dirt directly from fabric fibres.

When rubbed onto damp fabric, the soap penetrates the stain and dissolves oils so they can rinse away during washing. This simple method remains one of the most reliable ways to remove everyday stains without complex additives or detergents.

Why It Works So Well

Marseille Soap
Vegetable oil soap is naturally excellent at dissolving grease. Soap molecules bind to oils and allow them to rinse away with water.

Because the soap is applied directly to the stain, it works on the residue before the wash cycle begins.

Best For

• grease and cooking oils
• sauces and food stains
• grass and outdoor marks
• collar and cuff grime
• everyday laundry stains

Suitable Fabrics

Ideal for washable fabrics including cotton, linen and household laundry.

How to Use

Wet the stained area and rub the soap bar directly onto the stain.
Leave for several minutes before washing the garment as normal.

A Traditional Laundry Essential

In many French households a Marseille stain bar sits permanently beside the washing machine. Treating stains before washing prevents oils from setting into fibres, making the wash itself far more effective.
