Soap Flakes for a Successful Scent Free Hunting

Everyone knows that when you're hunting game it is important to be camouflaged from your prey. But what many people do not relaise is that for many animals their sense of smell is they main defence against predators. So if you are hunting, what is the point of wearing camouflage if animals can smell you coming?!

To eliminate odours from hunting gear, simply hand wash clothes in a warm Soap Flakes solution and rinse thoroughly with clean water. Wring out excess water and dry on a line outside. Soap Flakes are also suitable for cleaning and eliminating odours from outdoor wear, boots and equipment. After washing, place clothes and equipment in airtight containers or bags to prevent household smells permeating them.

Hopefully this will make you that little bit more successful when on the hunt!

Turn Bath Time into Play Time with Whipped Bath Paints

For many families, bath time can turn into an all out war between parent and child, with kids doing everything possible to avoid having a wash. But the key to getting kids in the bath voluntarily is simple, make bath time fun with whipped bath paints! Homemade bath paints are not only cheap and easy to make, but kids will love the colours and foamy texture, and they'll be washing at the same time because the paints are made from Soap Flakes!

To make bath paints, simply add 100ml of water to 50grams of Soap Flakes, and whisk until the mixture has the consistency of beaten egg whites. Spoon the mixture into plastic cups and add food colouring as desired. Then let your little angels get to work on the side of the bath!

Note:

After using whipped bath paints it is recommended to clean your bath with White Vinegar to remove any colour residue. Any acidic cleaners should be used with caution on vitreous enamel surfaces.

Don't let the rain ruin your ride!

Whether you're a professional cyclist or just a keen amateur, it always pays to be ready for every weather condition, as an unexpected downpour is enough to ruin anyone's ride! Over time, cycling jerseys become dirty and worn and start to lose their water repellance, but there is an easy way to clean and protect your cycling gear using Soap Flakes and Garment Guard!

Washing your gear in Soap Flakes is gentle yet effective, so will not damage specialist fabrics or remove waterproofed layers. Simply hand wash cycling gear and outerwear in a regular solution of Soap Flakes, rinse and allow to dry.

To protect fabrics from water, simply spray liberally with Garment Guard and heat to activate the formula. Garment Guard does not leave a residue or tarnish, and causes water to simply bead off treated fabrics.
