Alva Russia Household Soap

I've tried a bunch of household soaps, but this one from Alva Russia really stands out. It's gentle on skin, yet tough on dirt and grime. I love that it's free from harsh chemicals, making it perfect for families who care about creating a healthy home environment. Plus, it's just as effective as those pricier options, so you get a great value for money.

My Harsh Gel Soap Obsession: Vesta's Hidden Gem

summarizeEditor's Summary

I've been using Vesta's harsh gel soap for a while now, and it's become my go-to for tackling grease and grime. The 500g lavender pack I've got is a lifesaver, especially when it comes to washing dishes. I was initially hesitant about the scent, but it's actually really pleasant - a nice balance of harsh soap and lavender essential oil. However, the packaging could be better designed, and a little duct tape can fix that. Overall, I'm really happy with the value for money, and it's easy to use and apply. But, be aware that it's not the best for sensitive skin, and shipping can be a bit of a nightmare.

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!
Packaging info
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.
Check out the result
I'll be washing it in a washing machine tub - Read the review here
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.
Thanks for reading!

live_helpFeatured FAQ

What's the difference between the original and pine scents?

The original scent is a nice balance of harsh soap and lavender essential oil, while the pine scent is overpowering and smells like turpentine. I'd recommend sticking with the original if you're looking for a milder scent.

Is this soap safe to use on all surfaces?

While Vesta's harsh gel soap is effective at removing grease and grime, it's not the best for all surfaces. I'd recommend using it on tough stains and grime, but being gentle with delicate items.

Can I use this soap with gloves?

Yes, I'd recommend using gloves when washing dishes with Vesta's harsh gel soap to protect your hands from the harsh ingredients.

What's the best way to store this soap?

I'd recommend storing Vesta's harsh gel soap in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and moisture.

Is this soap good for sensitive skin?

Unfortunately, Vesta's harsh gel soap is not the best for sensitive skin. It's a bit too harsh and can cause irritation. If you have sensitive skin, you might want to look elsewhere.

Can I return this soap if I'm not satisfied?

Yes, Vesta offers a return policy if you're not satisfied with their harsh gel soap. Just contact their customer support team for more information.

How long does the soap last?

The 500g pack of Vesta's harsh gel soap should last you a while, depending on how often you use it. I've had mine for a few weeks now and it's still going strong.

Is this soap eco-friendly?

While Vesta's harsh gel soap is effective at removing grease and grime, it's not the most eco-friendly option out there. If you're looking for a more sustainable soap, you might want to look elsewhere.
