Household Product Notice

Solid Mineral Dishwashing Block is a formulated solid household soap intended exclusively for cleaning kitchenware, flatware, glassware, and cookware. It is not a food supplement, not a pharmaceutical preparation, and not a cosmetic hand soap. Dietary supplements distributed across other sections of this catalogue do not replace a varied diet or advice from a qualified doctor.

Do not ingest. If soap contacts eyes, flush immediately with fresh water. Keep dry between uses to maximize block longevity.

Degreasing mineral block formulated with cold-saponified coconut ester, sodium carbonate, and fine volcanic pumice.

Amelune manufactures the Solid Mineral Dishwashing Block in 220-gram hand-cut blocks wrapped in unbleached parchment paper and tied with natural hemp twine. Hand-poured at 1005 West Platt Street in Tampa, Florida, this solid dish block generates a dense, fast-acting lather that cuts stubborn pan oils and baked-on starch without disposable plastic squirt bottles.

Solidify.

Cold saponification of pure coconut oil yields high lauric acid content, generating resilient lather in cold and hard water alike.

Conventional liquid dishwashing soaps are over 80 percent water packaged in non-refillable plastic jugs, loaded with synthetic colorants and foaming boosters. Amelune cold-saponifies 100 percent pure food-grade coconut oil with sodium hydroxide. After four weeks of ambient air drying on cedar slatted racks in our Tampa workshop, the block reaches extreme hardness and near-zero free water activity.

Validate.

Tested under Irina Petrova's supervision since 2021 to ensure spotless glass rinsing and zero surface scratching.

The volcanic micro-pumice incorporated into our block is ground to 325 mesh (particles under 44 microns). This ultra-fine grading provides mechanical shearing force against cooked protein deposits without scouring fine crystal glassware, glazed ceramic dinner plates, or seasoned cast iron skillets.

Production & Material Standards
  • 100% palm-oil free and animal-tallow free: exclusively coconut-derived fatty acids.
  • Zero synthetic preservatives, parabens, SLS, or synthetic fragrance oils.
  • No plastic wrap: packaged in unbleached compostable greaseproof paper with vegetable ink.
  • Aged in Florida under climate-monitored humidity for maximum block density.

Rub.

Rub a wet dish brush, natural sponge, or Swedish dishcloth directly across the dry block to produce rich cleaning foam.

A three-second brush swirl charges fibers with sufficient surfactant to wash a sink load of dishes. Place the block on a slatted wood soap deck or porous ceramic dish between uses so water drains away freely. One 220g block typically lasts a four-person household between 8 and 12 weeks of daily cooking. Combine with our Castile Surface Cleansing Spray ($12.50) for kitchen prep tables and our Botanical Rosemary Linen Rinse ($14.00) for tea towels.

Cookware Usage Guidelines

Safe on seasoned cast iron, carbon steel, stainless steel, enamel, glass, porcelain, and ceramic cookware. While non-scratching, avoid aggressive scouring on thin non-stick PTFE coatings with abrasive scouring pads; use a soft cotton cloth on delicate pans.
