I have to admit, I never thought I'd be using a harsh soap to wash dishes, but Vesta's gel soap has won me over - at least for now!
I've been working with Vesta for a while now, and I initially bought their amazing conditioner for a steal. Then I spotted this harsh gel soap and decided to give it a try.
Sorry about the state of the packaging - I had to repair it with some duct tape after it got damaged during shipping by WB.
This soap comes in 500g and 1000g packs, with three scents: original, lavender, and pine. I've got the 500g lavender one, and I also tried the pine, but it was a no-go for me - it smells too much like turpentine.
The consistency is thick and paste-like, and it doesn't overpower with its scent - it's a nice balance of harsh soap and lavender essential oil.
For usage instructions, just check the packaging. I use it for washing dishes and laundry - it's a real game-changer!

For washing dishes
I initially bought this soap for soaking and drying clothes, but I end up using it way more for washing dishes. It's the only thing that can tackle grease like a pro. Just rub some on a sponge and you'll be able to scrub away a mountain of greasy dishes in no time. Plus, they come out sparkling clean!
I mean, who needs a foamy party when you can have a grease-fighting powerhouse like this?
I have to say, the original packaging is a bit too big and not super stylish, so I transferred the soap to this cute little bottle. I'll order a matching bottle for it soon to match the rest of my kitchen accessories.
This soap is also great at removing smells like garlic, onion, and fish. I used to buy separate soap for kitchen odor removal, but now I don't need to.
Washing clothes
This is another favorite way to use it. I usually wash sports jerseys with it. It removes sweat smells completely, which isn't always the case with laundry detergents. Here's what I do - I soak the jersey, apply the soap to the armpits, and then throw it in the washing machine.
Laundry
Occasionally, I add a bit of soap to the washing machine drum (like when I'm washing delicate items) to avoid excess foam and enhance the cleaning effect.
I haven't used it as a standalone laundry detergent yet, but I'm planning to give it a try.

I soaked it for 5 minutes, applied the soap, and then set the wash cycle for 10 minutes.
Result
Considering the level of dirtiness, the result is pretty good. With stains like these, a stain remover is a must.
Customer support
You've probably figured out by now that I'm hooked on Vesta's gel soap. It's a great value for money, eco-friendly, and cost-effective. I'll be buying it regularly from now on.
One thing that really impressed me was the customer support from ProTech. I had a few questions about the return policy, and they got back to me within a few hours. The return process was super easy, and I had my money back within a week.
Battery life
I was a bit worried about the battery life, but it's actually been better than I expected. I've been using it for a week now, and it still has plenty of juice left.
