Regular price $13.50Skoy is a 100% biodegradable, reusable, and even compostable cleaning cloth. Made using all natural materials (cotton and wood pulp cellulose). Skoy can absorb 15x its own weight and each one can outlast 15 rolls of paper towels!
Note from Nest owner, Lisa: A favourite in our household! We use them in the kitchen for washing dishes and for wiping up spills, and they're also one of my goto cloths to use damp for dusting, or for general cleaning. Ones that i use for dusting, I then washed ours in the washing machine with a load of rags on the hottest water possible, and then re-use them. Ones that we use for heavy dish duty, over time can get pick up odours (we rinse in hottest tap water and wring to dry in between use), but we do find the Skoy brand outlasts most others in freshness. We've been using them for a few years now, and we're so pleased with what a broad range of use we get from them.
Now that we carry the Skoy cloths in white, multi-colour, or utility motif, we also have the use for them throughout the house colour-coded, which works out quite well.

Sonett laundry liquid, Lavender, 120m
SONETT GB5012
Regular price $3.50Sonett’s particularly energy-saving method of saponification, the use of oils and essential oils derived from certified organic cultivation, and its good value for money as far as the laundry liquid’s washing performance is concerned are the outstanding features of this product.
Ranges of application:
Suitable for coloured and white textiles made from cotton, linen, hemp, and fabric blends; 30–95 °C (85–200 °F). Suitable for HE washing machines.
- With organic vegetable oil soap,
without enzymes, GMO-free - Good washing performance,
suitable for white and coloured textiles - Lovely fragrance of essential lavender oil
from certified organic cultivation - 100% biodegradable
Biodegradability
Soap made from vegetable oils has one outstanding feature compared to all the other active washing substances, namely that, right after its use, it reacts chemically with the limescale always present in waste water, resulting in calcium soap, thus neutralising its surfactant effect on aquatic organisms (primary degradation). The calcium soap is then, by microorganisms, 100% degraded into carbon dioxide and water (secondary degradation). Despite the fact that during the manufacturing of sugar surfactants, coconut oil alcohol sulphate and sulphated castor oil, constituents are being extracted from the plant-based raw materials starch, sugar, and fat, they remain completely intact in their natural molecular structure. For this reason it is relatively easy for the microorganisms to 100% decompose these surfactants. Soap, sugar surfactant, coconut oil alcohol sulphate, and sulphated castor oil are classified as being readily biodegradable according to OECD guidelines.
Suitable for septic tanks and filtration systems.

Origin and properties of the ingredients
In this liquid detergent, soap, sugar surfactant and fatty alcohol sulphate complement each other, thus intensifying their effect. To obtain the soap, rapeseed / sunflower oil, certified organically grown, is being saponified in a special process of saponification without applying heat from the outside, using potassium hydroxide solution. Soap as an active washing substance uniquely amalgamates all of the properties required for the washing process – the moistening, the dissolving, and absorbing of dirt. Soap is intensified in this effect by the sugar surfactant and fatty alcohol sulphate, which are obtained by the chemical reaction of the purely plant-based raw materials sugar, starch and coconut oil with acids. At the same time this combination neutralizes the soap’s drawback, i.e. calcium soap being formed, which may precipitate on the laundry should the softener not have been properly measured. The alcohol which is obtained by fermenting plant-based starch serves to keep the detergent liquid, thus enabling a highly concentrated active washing substance. Sulphated castor oil, also called turkey-red oil, is obtained by castor oil reacting chemically with sulphuric acid. It intensifies the detergents fat-dissolving property.

Origin and properties of the ingredients
Bovine gall is a traditional stain remover. Its principal active ingredients, i.e. the bile acids cholic and taurocholic acids, are not only capable of finely dispersing grease and fat-like substances but also of dissolving dyestuffs and forming compounds with them. Soap manufactured from rapeseed / sunflower oil and olive oil with lye (alkaline solution), swells and dissolves the dirt and supports the stain-removing performance property of the bovine gall. Sugar surfactant is obtained from pure plant-based raw materials–sugar, starch and coconut oil– and their chemical reaction with acids. Citric terpene derived from orange peels intensifies even more the fat-dissolving property of Sonett Gall Soap.

Biodegradability
Bovine gall being a purely natural product is 100 % biodegradable. Soap made from plant-based oils has the unique property that, right after its use, it reacts chemically with the limescale always present in waste water, thus forming calcium soap. As a result, the surfactant effect inimical to aquatic organisms is being neutralised within a few hours (primary degradation). Subsequently the calcium soap is, by microorganisms, 100 % decomposed into carbon dioxide and water (secondary degradation).
Despite the fact that during the manufacturing of sugar surfactants and coconut oil alcohol sulphate, constituents are being extracted from the plant-based raw materials starch, sugar, and fat, they remain completely intact in their natural molecular structure. For this reason it is relatively easy for the microorganisms to 100 % decompose these surfactants.

Sodium soap*, aqua, fel tauri siccum, sodium copper chlorophyllin, sodium chloride, sodium thiosulphate
*certified organically grown
Origin and properties of the ingredients
Soap being an active washing substance, it is obtained by simply boiling fats with alkaline solution. Every fat base differs in its washing properties somewhat from another because of their diversity of origin. Coconut oil as soap base, therefore, possesses particularly good cleaning performance, even in hard water. Soap made from palm oil contributes the required firmness and resistance. The two soaps combined thus form the optimal basis for fully developing the stain-removing property of the gall substance.
Technical data
Soap is slightly alkaline in use. The green chlorophyll colouration of the bars of soap may become lighter by exposure to light. This does not, however, impair the stain-removing performance of the gall soap. The brownish colour appearing is the natural colour of gall.
Biodegradability
Right after its use soap loses its surfactant properties (primary degradation) under direct reaction with limescale which is always present in waste water, thus being no longer inimical to live organisms. The calcium soap (formed by the reaction) is then 100 % micro-organically decomposed into carbon dioxide and water (secondary degradation). Bovine gall being a purely natural product is fully degraded within a few days, and reintegrated into the natural cycle. Soap is classified as being readily biodegradable according to OECD guidelines.

Origin and properties of the ingredients
Olive soap: It is from century-old olive groves of Mediterranean countries such as Italy, Spain and Greece that the fruit originates. It is used to obtain the olive oil – in certified organically grown quality – by mechanical processes such as pressing and centrifugation. When saponified with potassium hydroxide, it is the main constituent of Sonett’s Olive Laundry Liquid for Wool and Silk. Olive oil is the best oil raw material for making mild soap and restoring the deficient protective hydrolipidic film. Its well-balanced composition of fatty acids, its healing balancing effect on the cardiovascular system, and the remarkable growth of the olive tree in a 7-year cycle, demonstrate the special proximity and relationship of this oil to humans.
Rapeseed oil / sunflower oil soap: Vegetable oil, saponified with potassium hydroxide, serves to intensify the washing performance. In addition to flax and sunflower, rapeseed is one of the few oil-yielding plants which are cultivated for oil production in our temperate central European climate, and are also certified organically grown.
Ethanol: It is derived from fermentation of starch-containing plants such as maize and potatoes. Ethanol helps keeping the soap liquid, while at the same time improving the fat-dissolving property of the detergent.
Sugar surfactant: Sugar, starch and coconut oil are the raw materials for the sugar surfactant used. The proportion of sugar surfactant compared to the soap content of the detergent is such, that it serves for the calcium soap forming in case of hard water, to be kept finely dispersed and to prevent it from being deposited on the laundry.

Sonett wool conditioner
SONETT S4721
Regular price $14.50After awhile we may notice our wool garments have lost some of their naturally water-repellant properties. This is because some of the lanolin, the natural sheep oil that performs this function, has been lost from washing and wearing.
This wool care agent contains wool grease, olive soap, sugar tenside, lecithin, botanical concentrator and natural essential lavender oil. The wool care agent softens woollen garments which have lost their natural oils in use (e.g. frequently washed nappy panties) and protects the wool fibre from premature wearing, allowing wool to better maintain its moisture-absorbing quality and softness.
With natural wool wax and organic olive oil soap
- For restoring the deficient protective hydrolipidic film to garments made from wool and silk
- Returns the natural elasticity to woolen fabrics
- Fragrance of essential lavender oil made from certified organic cultivation
- 100% biodegradable
Can be used in water up to 30 °C (86 °F).
120 ml.
Special product feature:
The wool wax used is of pharmacopoeial quality. Thanks to the inclusion of olive-oil soap and sugar surfactant, Wool Care may also be used, without problems, in areas with hard-water.
The olive oil and the essential oil of lavender are 100% derived from certified organic cultivation.
Ranges of application:
For lipid replenishing of highly stressed garments made from wool and for woollen nappy pants.
Particularly important for babies’ woollen nappy pants which, due to the natural wool-wax content, collect the dampness from the diaper while still remaining permeable to air. If babies’ woollen nappy pants are washed, they lose their naturally occurring wool fat. Regular application of Wool Care replenishes the wool with the wool wax it needs for proper functioning.
Dosage for woollen nappy pants:
Dissolve 1–2 tablespoon of Wool Care in hot water and fill up to approx. 1 litre (34 fl oz US) using cold water. Place the moistened woollen nappy pants into the lukewarm solution, wash through several times and leave to soak for about ½ to 1 hour. Rinse in lukewarm water, press out and leave to dry on a towel.
Dosage for stressed woollen clothing, such as jackets, milled jackets, wool-felt hats, jumpers, etc.:
Dissolve ½ teaspoon of Wool Care in hot water and proceed as described above.
Wool Care can also be used in the washing machine. To this end, dissolve ½ teaspoonful of Wool Care in approx. 30–40 ml (1–1.4 fl oz US) of hot water and pour the solution into the fabric softener compartment of the washing machine.

Origin and properties of the ingredients
Wool wax is obtained from freshly shorn sheep’s wool that underwent a special process to remove any pesticide and herbicide residues. In order to be well dispersed in the water and to adhere to the fibres, the wool wax must be emulsified into fine droplets using olive-oil soap and sugar surfactant. Sugar, coconut oil and palm oil are the raw materials used to manufacture sugar surfactant. Olive soap results from the chemical reaction between olive oil and lye (alkaline solution). Olive oil is the best oil raw material for making mild lipid-replenishing plant-based soap. Its well-balanced composition of fatty acids, its healing balancing effect on the cardiovascular system, and the remarkable growth of the olive tree in a 7-year cycle are evidence of the special proximity and relationship of this oil to humans. Cetyl alcohol–obtained from palm oil – and the plant-based thickening agent enhance the emulsifying effect of sugar surfactant and olive oil soap.

Soap made from vegetable oils has one outstanding feature compared to all the other active washing substances, namely that, right after its use, it reacts chemically with the limescale always present in waste water, forming calcium soap, thus neutralising its effect on live organisms (primary degradation). The calcium soap is then, micro-organically, 100% degraded into carbon dioxide and water (secondary degradation). Despite the fact that during the manufacturing of sugar surfactants, constituents are being extracted from the plant-based raw materials starch, sugar, and fat, they remain completely intact in their chemical structure. For this reason it is so easy for the microorganisms to 100% decompose these surfactants into CO₂ und H₂O very rapidly. Soap, sugar surfactant, and cetyl alcohol are classified as being readily biodegradable according to OECD guidelines.
Suitable for septic tanks and filtration systems.

Aqua, potassium soap*, cera alba, alcohol denat., alkylpolyglucoside C8-C16 (coco glucoside), copernicia cerifera*,parfum*, linalool*, limonene*
*certified organically grown
Origin and properties of the ingredients
Beeswax and carnauba wax are used for, with a thin wax layer, gently protecting all surfaces made from wood, cork, linoleum, stone, etc. The organic carnauba wax is obtained from the leaves of the South American carnauba palm. Beeswax is a side product of apiculture whilst honey is being extracted from honeycombs by centrifuging.
The basis of this floor mopping fluid is organic olive-oil soap. Pure certified organically grown olive oil, by means of potassium hydroxide solution, is made into soap using a simple process without being exposed to external energy supply. Thanks to its slightly lipid-replenishing characteristics, the olive oil supports both wax components in their nourishing properties, furthermore having outstanding cleansing properties.
Ethanol, obtained by fermenting farinaceous plants or sugar-containing by-products such as molasses, helps maintaining the soap fluid, thus enabling a highly concentrated liquid product. Apart from its pleasantly refreshing fragrance, essential cajuput oil has a germ-inhibiting effect.
Dosage
Porous, oiled, unsealed wooden and stone floors: 10 ml (0,4 fl oz) per 5 litres (1.5 gal) of water.
Varnished and sealed surfaces of wood, cork, linoleum and tiles: 5 ml (0.2 fl oz) per 5 litres (1.5 gal) of water.
Attention
- Not to be used undiluted.
- Shake well before use. It may darken untreated wood, please test on a suitable spot before use.
- Floors primed with hard oil or wax, have to be professionally re-oiled or waxed in regular intervals.

Origin and properties of the ingredients
Vegetable alcohol (ethanol) is obtained by fermentation of vegetable starch. Sugar surfactant is manufactured from vegetable starch and coconut oil. Ethanol and sugar surfactant dissolve the dirt and allow the water to run off. Citric acid, in food grade, removes the limescale deposits.
Technical data
Density: 20 °C approx.1.017 g / cm³ (68 °F approx. 0.036 oz / in³)

Biodegradability
Ethanol, in small quantities, is also present in nature. Once fed into waste water, it is rapidly and completely degraded into carbon dioxide and water. During the manufacturing process of coconut oil alcohol sulphate and sugar surfactants, the organic constituents of the coconut oil and starch types are combined in such a way that their natural molecular structure remains intact. For this reason it is relatively easy for the microorganisms to 100% decompose these surfactants. Citric acid is a constituent of plant, animal and human organisms, and is therefore rapidly and completely degraded into carbon dioxide and water by naturally present microorganisms. Sugar surfactants are classified as readily biodegradable according to OECD guidelines.

Origin and properties of the ingredients
Calcium Carbonate (CaCO₂) figures among the most widespread minerals on earth. For this product we use calcium carbonate originating from the deposits of the Swabian Alb. It is slightly abrasive and serves as the main ingredient of the Scouring Fluid. Its cleaning efficiency is enhanced by the fat-dissolving performance of coconut-oil alcohol sulphate and sugar surfactants. Coconut-oil alcohol sulphate is obtained by having coconut oil react with sulphur. Sugar surfactants are obtained by forming compounds of coconut oil and sugar derived from molasses or starch, adding small amounts of acids as catalyst.

Density: (20 °C) approx. 1.023 g / cm³
68 °F approx. 0.036 oz in³
pH value: undiluted approx. 8.5–9
Biodegradability
Soap made from vegetable oils has the unique property that, right after its use, it reacts chemically with the limescale always present in waste water, forming calcium soap. As a result, the surfactant effect of the soap is being neutralized (primary degradation). This primary degradation takes place within a few hours. Subsequently the calcium soap is, by microorganisms, 100 % decomposed into carbon dioxide and water (secondary degradation). Ethanol reintegrates into the natural cycle within a few hours. Apart from natural glycerine released from the oils during saponification, we add plant-based glycerine which binds moisture. Despite the fact that during the manufacturing of sugar surfactants, constituents are being extracted from the plant-based raw materials starch, sugar, and fat, they remain completely intact in their natural molecular structure. For this reason it is relatively easy for the microorganisms to 100 % decompose these surfactants rapidly.

Sonett Curd Soap
SONETT DE2021
Regular price $6.25A mild, inexpensive hand soap made from organic vegetable oils. Without any colourings, fragrances, fillers, complexing agents, or optical brighteners. Lasts for a long time. Fragrance-free and vegan.
This curd soap is manufactured without using fillers, dyestuffs, fragrances, optical brighteners, and, above all, without any petrochemical complexing agents such as EDTA. It is thoroughly matured before being put on sale which increases its shelf life.
The slightly brown colouration of curd soap when stored for several years is a sign of the purely natural quality of this product and, in no way, impairs its quality and washing performance.
Ranges of application
For household use and workshop areas as well as wherever durable, effectively cleansing hand soap without any additives is needed.
Application/Dosage
Purely vegetable, fragrance-free organic soap for washing hands, face and the entire body.
Even when using the curd soap with cold and hard water it develops a high degree of cleaning effectiveness. The hardness of the soap impedes its becoming soggy despite possibly lying on a wet surface for a while.

Ingredients (INCI)
Sodium palmate*, sodium cocoate*, glycerine*, sodium chloride, sodium thiosulfate
*certifid organically grown
Origin and properties of the ingredients
Soap being an active washing substance, it is obtained by simply boiling fats with alkaline solution. Every fatty base differs in its washing properties somewhat from another because of their diversity of origin. Coconut-oil soap, e.g., possesses a very good cleaning performance, even in cold and hard water; and soap made from palm oil contributes the required firmness to the soap which prevents it from quickly becoming soggy when the soap happens to be left on a wet surface for a longer period of time.
Technical data
pH value: 20 °C, 5 g / litre H₂O (68 °F, 0.18 oz / 34 fl oz US H₂O) approx. 9–9.5
Soap is slightly alcalic in its use.
Biodegradability
Soap is the only active washing substance which right after its use loses its surfactant properties under direct reaction with limescale which is always present in waste water, thus becoming non-toxic to live aquatic organisms (primary degradation). The calcium soap (formed by the reaction) is then 100% micro-organically decomposed into carbon dioxide and water (secondary degradation).
Soap is classified as being readily biodegradable according to OECD guidelines.
