Household Soap

I recently found out that Proctor & Gamble don't make Fairy Household Soap anymore, and don't know how I am going to cope without it. I have used it for years to remove all sorts of stains from many things, especially shirt collars, carpets and all stains on clothing. I have tried "Vanish" but found it useless. Are there any other household soap bars out there, or any good tips on removing stains?

I have used the Fairy Household soap for many years and am very disappointed that P&G have discontinued this product, anybody misses this soap as i do should ring P&G ON THIS NUMBER 1932 896000 , AND JUST MAYBE, IF ENOUGH PEOPLE ASK FOR IT THEY MIGHT BRING IT BACK. It was always the best best stain remover.

Sorry to resurrect a zombie thread. Does anyone know if any supermarkets do their own version of household soap still (laundry soap)? Or does anyone how to make it?

You can still buy Sunlight soap.

If you can’t get it I also recommend the Astonish soap bar.

Falcon’s is the best one I’ve used. Got it from amazon. It’s brilliant for stain removal and pretreating.

Thank you for your replies :-)

Marseille soap ( proper French square stuff ) does the job . Also , my wonder stuff is Gronne Sapa ( Swedish liquid stuff ) for almost all household cleaning ( expensive but you don’t need much) .

Too much stuff 🤦‍♀️

Please can anyone tell me where to buy Sunlight soap? I used to buy from the Online Pound Shop, but it's out of stock there. Amazon want a ridiculous price (£20 for two bars Shock

@MsMamaNature
Thank you for the link. I've found a South African supermarket that is selling it at 99p a bar. Perhaps I should put it on eBay for a fiver per bar!

KEY ! is to use bar soap and COLD water on a stain substance first .It's using warm or hot water first that sets the stain or any kind of substance in for ever .
