To this day it works like a dream. Directions: Wet the stain and rub it thoroughly with the Gall Soap bar. Let rest for a few hours or over night and then wash as usual.

Traditional Pine Tar Soap
In the Nordic countries pine tar has long traditions as a protector and remedy for all kinds of things. Ropes and wooden structures both on land and on water have been preserved with pine tar since time immemorial and a saying that pre-dates the advent of modern medicine maintains that anything that can't be cured with pine tar, strong alcohol and sauna can't be cured at all. In this Traditional Pine Tar Soap genuine Finnish pine tar is added for beautiful deep brown colour and for that unmistakable scent of pure, well-manufactured pine tar. The soap that we add the pine tar to is a gentle formulation rich in traditional Nordic ingredients; lard and lanolin as the soaping ingredients closest in composition to the oils in our skin, cow's milk to enhance lather and hydrolyzed soft sheep's wool for a silky feel. No added colourant or fragrance. 100g Made with lard, cow's milk, coconut oil, sodium hydroxide, castor oil, lanolin, pine tar, hydrolyzed sheep's wool.
