Not all soaps are created equal.
Especially if you’re a bottle of Dr. Bronner’s Pure-Castile Liquid Soap. This cult product is at the top of the soap hierarchy – just take a look at the beauty section of any health food shop or the Instagram feed of any eco-aware or natural beauty advocate.
But what exactly is it about the soap that has multiple blog posts, videos and Instagram feeds dedicated to its praises?
Simply put, if you need to clean something… your body, face, teeth, hair, animal or surface in your house, you can do it with a few drops of Dr. Bronner’s and nothing else.

Oh, and it's made with minimal ingredients, is certified fair trade and is made by a family-owned company with ethically, socially and environmentally responsible brand values, too.
And just in case that wasn't enough, Meghan Markle is also a fan. In fact the princess to-be told Beauty Banter that the Dr. Bronner Castille Liquid Soap in their lavender scent is her favourite body product.
When it comes to clean people versus messy people, there are differences between the two. We take a pervy look inside the life of a ‘clean house’ person, on Mamamia Out Loud. Post continues after audio.
1. As a body or hand wash.
A standard, non-surprising use is as a cleanser for your body to remove the grime of the day. The peppermint scent is particularly zingy, too. However, be warned that it is an extremely concentrated formula so you'll only need a few drops. Trust us.

I am 100% a Dr Bronner gal! I started off using it to wash my body in the shower. I now have a spray bottle diluted to a cleaner, another diluted with cayenne added for plant pests. I wash my face with it, our hand soap etc. Someone thought it silly I pay so much for soap and I went on my Dr Bronner soapbox breaking down how little it takes for everything so it's actually a good value and converted her.
I wanted to add something I read the other day that makes complete sense but I hasn't thought of it before. Utilize the different scents/essential oils for their strengths. Like if making bug spray, pepper mint repels certain pests while if you have a problem with cockroaches getting in your flower pots then I think it's eucalyptus that deters them. It's one of those things that seems so obvious that I never thought of. Isn't the cool?
Great informative list with new ideas I hadn't thought of that I can utilize now too so thank you!
