Linseed soap can be used for a wide range of purposes, and it's an eco-friendly, gentle alternative for cleaning almost any surface. A general rule of thumb is to mix 1 deciliter of soap with a bucket of water. For tougher dirt, reduce the amount of water slightly.
If your tap water contains a lot of lime, you may notice a white cloudiness when mixing it with linseed soap. Don’t worry – it’s harmless and doesn’t affect the cleaning power.
First, dampen the wood with cold water to prevent staining.
Then scrub in concentrated linseed soap and allow it to dry.
If the surface is heavily soiled, you can add a little ammonia to the soapy water for extra strength.
After scrubbing, the floor (or object) may need thorough rinsing with clean water or using a wet vacuum, especially if you plan to treat it with linseed oil paint or linseed oil wax afterward.
Important: If the floor has been treated with lye, it must be neutralized with a mixture of vinegar and water before applying linseed oil-based finishes.
Need to remove stubborn stains from fabric?
Rub in linseed soap with a little water, lather like a bar of soap, and let it sit for a while before putting the item in the washing machine.
Linseed soap is also excellent for cleaning rusty hardware, such as door, window, or cabinet fittings.
The process is simple, though it requires a bit of time and patience:
Boil the rusty fittings in a mixture of half linseed soap and half water for a few hours.
Let the mixture cool overnight.
Remove the fittings, scrub them clean in water, and let them dry.
Now they’re ready to be painted with linseed oil paint.
