PSA to all those folks obsessed with using old school laundry bars like Zote, Fels Naphtha, Hispano, et: PLEASE USE HOT WATER. Otherwise you run the risk of not having these products dissolve fully which can lead to short and long term headaches.

Keep in mind these products are meant to be used by hand application and lots of rubbing and scrubbing on a wash board. They are not designed to go in your machine as flakes, especially not with cold water. I have had very good luck with these bars when I rub them into stains before washing, but I’ll never ever use them as my laundry detergent.

While they are cheap and a nice alternative to ‘big laundry’ products they often lack a lot of the cleaning ingredients included in modern detergents.

Hope this little demo helps!
