You know the drill: A small stain on your favorite shirt gets ignored... and by the next wash, it has suddenly moved in for good like a subtenant who forgot to give notice. 😄
The good news: Gall soap is a classic for exactly these cases – time-tested, effective, and (when used correctly) surprisingly gentle on fabrics.
At our shop, you'll find gall soap as an eco-friendly alternative to chemical stain removers.
What is gall soap?
In case you are currently googling "what is gall soap": Gall soap is like the bodyguard of your laundry. 😄
It is a classic soap-based stain remover that works particularly well on grease, sweat, blood and many food stains – in other words, exactly the things that always happen when you meant to grab a "quick bite."
In short: gentle enough for your favorite shirt, but stubborn enough for the stain that already feels right at home.

Gall soap application: Step-by-step (to ensure it actually works)
The most important rule: The faster, the easier. (Stains love time. You don't.)
Here is how to use gall soap:
- Dampen the fabric
- Apply gall soap and rub in gently
- Check the material (test first on delicate fabrics)
- Leave on for approx. 15 minutes
- Rinse thoroughly or wash as normal
- If necessary: repeat
Pro-tip: Don't scrub like you're cleaning the patio. Gentle is enough – the soap does the work. 😉
Which gall soap is best for delicate fabrics?
If you have delicate fabrics (fine cotton, soft colors, blends), follow these steps:
- test on an inconspicuous area first
- rub in gently only
- rinse really well after it has soaked in (no residue = happy fabric)
And yes: your favorite item is welcome to keep being your "favorite" throughout the process. 😄
Are there gall soap products with natural ingredients?
Yes – our gall soap is palm oil-free, fragrance-free, dye-free, and contains no petroleum derivatives.
This makes it a pleasant alternative for many people who don't want a "chemical fireworks display" on their shirt every time.
Extra tip for nasty stains (curry & Co.)
If stains are difficult to remove (the classic culprits: curry, yellowish discolorations, "I was having tomato sauce" moments 😅), we recommend PUER – an oxygen-based bleaching powder/stain remover that is free of optical brighteners or chlorine bleach and is perfect for soaking.
Quick guide: How to use PUER correctly (soaking)
- Place the garment in a bowl/bucket.
- Pour water hotter than 60 °C over the PUER (hot = active).
- Let it soak.
- Rinse/wash thoroughly afterwards.
- Then put it in the washing machine and wash as normal.
Important: Check the care label and test first on delicate/colored items (color-fast = okay, but better safe than sorry).

Mini-FAQ
What do experts recommend for grease stains?
For grease stains, many professionals prefer classic bar gall soap: You can rub it directly onto the stain, work it in briefly, and it does its job exactly where it's needed. Grease is quite stubborn – but gall soap can really stand up to it. 😄
Is there an eco-friendly gall soap available in Austria?
Yes – many consider gall soap an eco-friendly alternative to classic stain removers because it often requires fewer additives and is used very sparingly: You only treat the stain, not the entire garment with "full-surface chemicals." And your bathroom won't have to smell like a laboratory afterwards either. 😄
How do I choose the best gall soap for my needs?
If you:
- frequently have grease/everyday stains → gall soap is ideal.
- often combat white laundry or "grey cast" → PUER as a supplement is great (soaking).
