Why Does Laundry Soap Concentrate Separate?

When you open a pouch of MamaSuds Laundry Soap Concentrate, you might notice that the contents have separated. This is completely normal and to be expected due to our commitment to using only natural ingredients. Unlike other products that rely on synthetic emulsifiers to keep everything uniformly mixed, our concentrate stays true to its natural roots.


The Science Behind Separation

Separation occurs because there aren't enough water molecules in the concentrate to keep the solution evenly blended within the pouch. Essentially, our concentrate is just pure laundry soap without any added water, making it a powerhouse of cleaning efficiency.


How to Properly Mix Your Concentrate

When you're ready to use the concentrate, you'll need to dilute it with warm water to create your standard 64 fl oz solution. Here’s how to do it:


  1. Start with Warm Water: Using warm water helps the soap molecules dissolve more easily.
  2. Add Water Slowly: Gradually add the warm water to the concentrate, mixing it as you go.
  3. Shake Thoroughly: Once you've added all the water, give it a good shake. This ensures that the soap molecules disperse evenly throughout the water, preventing any separation.

Embrace the Natural Process

The separation you see is simply a natural characteristic of our concentrated formula. By following the simple steps to mix it properly, you'll ensure that your soap is evenly distributed and ready to tackle your toughest laundry challenges.


Remember, keeping it natural means fewer chemicals for your family and the environment. So, next time you see that separation, give yourself a pat on the back for choosing a product that's both effective and eco-friendly!


Happy washing!
