Fels Naptha?

[FLYERMAN]

What and or how do you carry your bar of Fels Naptha? andor any tricks you can add to using the Fels.

I use a cell phone pouch.

Here's my trick. I wrap duct tape around the bar so that I have a nice dry surface to hold onto. I wrap it with one inch wide pieces of tape starting from the bottom. I leave a little over one inch of fels showing at the top.

Any other tips?

velcro straps.....looks and works better the duct tape......

 

[Ross Buettner]

um, this is really a dumb question:

Why would someone use that? Never heard of it.

 

[Jim Martin]

it is great for those little stubborn spots that don't seem to want to come out with normal cleaning...give it a shot of water with the wand...rub with Fels and rinse....try it..you can thank Odin later.....just like everyone else has.......

fels naptha is a great laundry soap in a bar for common soil removal including soil filtration lines. I don't know why Jim showed us a picture of his wand.

where do you buy the stuff

I don't think Odin was "the guy" wqith fels first.

If you look on ics, long before Odin there was a bloke always talking about it. His name was Brown maybe? I can't recall....and it bugs me but won't go on ics to look it up.

You can buy it at a lot of groceries stores or riteaid type places.

I still make my own gel out of it and use it out of a quart bottle, it works better than just rubbing it straight on the fabric. I do add other chems to it.

How do you make your own Gel out of it? What is the process of doing that?

We have bought ours from Sav-on Drugstore for decades - it's been around forever, one of my grandmother's favorite cleaners for clothes, and a lot of dry cleaners keep it on hand.

We use it especially for removing ink.

It's cheap and works great - a rarity. Just like Mikeysboard. :shock:

...Suprisingly, Fels Naptha laundry soap $1.95 a bar at your local market, and the Cadie Corp Laundry stick removed these ink stains the best. I was able to completely remove them from both raw silk and finished silk with both of these products.

There it is, Paul Brown. !gotcha! thanks Bill.

I actually know the guy personally that was very much involved in the making of felsnaptha. I cleaned his carpets last year. It is coming up again to be cleaned. He has worked at the companies a long time before they became Dial Corp. He is about 90 years old and his whole life he was in the business of making soaps and detergents.

I will ask Brian to post a couple of pictures of what he has in his house.

For Zee from Zee

 

[Zee]

Old detergent recipes in a glass block and an appreciation letter.

One of the original fels naptha negative brass pieces. Solid heavy pieces.

This man has all kinds of old stuff from the chemical industry.

I just thought it was interesting that the way I'm involved with fels naptha - I happened to have a customer that was very much involved in the making of the bar.

That's really cool Zee. The stamp would make a great belt buckle



Have to admit, that was one of Rob's better videos.

 

[Jim Cross]

Good video Rob!
