Curd soap (or gall soap) belongs to the category of soaps. They are white to brown in color and have a fatty acid content of 72 to 75%. Curd soap is one of the best stain removers and will easily get rid of most stains. We recommend a solid rather than liquid curd soap.
Naming:
Curd soap is named after the soap manufacturing process in which the soap core is separated from the soap mass boiling in a lot of water by adding common salt (sodium chloride).
Manufacturing:
Saponification splits animal fats or vegetable oils with caustic soda into the sodium salts of fatty acids and glycerin. The resulting soap mass is known as colloidal soap and is a preliminary step in obtaining frozen soap. After adding table salt, the soap core floats and separates.
How to wash with curd soap:
- First wash the garment in cold water.
- Immediately rub the affected area with gall soap.
- Then you can put the clothes in the washing machine and wash them normally with the rest of the laundry.
Vegans can use vegan curd soap.
