- Moth repellent
Hang a slice of Marseille soap with olive oil in your wardrobe to keep the moths away.
- Reviving leather handbags
To restore a leather handbag or purse, clean it carefully with soapy water containing a few drops of ammonia. Leave to dry in the shade. To finish the job, rub with a soft cloth moistened with lemon juice.
- Cleaning canvas shoes and plimsolls
Leave the shoes to soak in soapy water over night. Scrub stains gently with a soft brush if necessary. Rinse and leave to dry in the shade.
- Washing compression stockings and hosiery
Marseille soap is recommended by compression hosiery retailers. It is glycerine free so it cleans gently without damaging the hosiery fabric.
