A natural product with an endless number of uses. Here you can buy linseed soap for wood. Unlike green soap, linseed soap cleans wood surfaces while also lubricating and protecting the wood, making it perfect for cleaning and treating items like garden furniture.
Hardware
Do you have old hardware smeared with paint? Try soaking them in a mixture of linseed soap and water for a day. Then, wipe off the paint remnants from the hardware with a cloth. For rusty hardware, boil them in a 50/50 mixture of linseed soap and water for a few hours. Let it cool overnight, then lift out the hardware, brush it clean in water, and let it dry. Paint them afterward with linseed oil paint.
Scrub Floors
Linseed soap is ideal for a truly delightful scrubbed floor. When treating a new or sanded wooden floor, it's important to first moisten the floor with cold water to prevent stains. Then scrub in concentrated linseed soap and let it dry.
Kitchen
Linseed soap and water are perfect for cleaning and treating kitchen countertops, stone materials, and tiled floors - the soap saturates, purifies, and protects the stone or tiles. However, it should not be used in dishwashers or for window cleaning.
Wooden Floors
Linseed soap is great for mopping wooden floors (oiled, varnished, etc.), but be cautious with already treated floors so the soap does not dissolve the existing treatment. If you're unsure, do a test in a corner or a closet where it doesn’t matter if the treatment is dissolved.
Paint Stains & Brush Cleaning
Store your paintbrush in diluted linseed soap to make it last a lifetime. If you get a paint stain on stone, like on a stone floor, you can also use linseed soap. Apply concentrated linseed soap to the stain and cover with plastic to keep it moist. Let it act for about 8 hours. Then gently rub off the stain with a sponge and wash off with water. However, note that linseed soap should not be used to wash surfaces already painted with linseed oil paint, as the soap will dissolve the paint.
