Know before you buy
Simply dampen the stained area with water, rub the bar soap directly onto the fabric until a lather forms, and let it sit for a few minutes. Afterward, wash the garment as you normally would in your washing machine.
Fels-Naptha is generally safe for most colorfast, washable fabrics. However, it is always a good idea to test a small, inconspicuous area first if you are concerned about potential color bleeding or delicate fibers.
While it is specifically formulated to break down greasy and oily substances like perspiration or food spills, it is also highly effective at lifting general dirt and grime from clothing.
Fels-Naptha is designed as a pre-treatment stain remover rather than a primary laundry detergent. While some people grate it to make homemade laundry soap, it is most effective when applied directly to specific spots before a standard wash cycle.
Because it is a concentrated bar used only for spot-treating, a single bar lasts for many months of regular laundry cycles. The six-pack provides a significant supply that will likely last the average household over a year.
