Why Switch to Solid Dish Soap?

If you've ever looked at your kitchen sink and thought, “There has to be a better way,” you’re not alone. The truth is, our kitchens are one of the biggest sources of single-use plastic in the home and liquid dish soap bottles are a major culprit.
At The Living Co., we’re here to help you make the switch in a way that’s simple, effective and actually feels good. One of the easiest eco-upgrades?
Meet the Dish Soap Bar
Forget plastic bottles and synthetic ingredients, solid dish soap bars are the hardworking, no-fuss swap you’ll wish you tried sooner.
Why We Love Them:
- No plastic – Zero-waste from start to finish
- Made in Australia – Supporting local makers and reducing transport emissions
- Long-lasting – One bar can replace 2-3 bottles of liquid soap
- Powerful – Cuts through grease and grime naturally
- Beautiful on your bench – No more bright orange bottles clashing with your kitchen
Why Switch to Solid?
Making the move to a dish soap bar might feel like a small change, but it adds up.
Australians throw away over 500 million plastic bottles every year — and only a fraction are recycled.
When you choose a plastic-free dish soap, you’re not just skipping a bottle — you’re joining a movement that puts people and planet first.
How to Use a Dish Soap Bar
It’s easy!
- Wet your dish brush or sponge
- Rub directly onto the bar to lather
- Wash dishes as usual
- Store your bar on a draining soap dish to keep it dry and long-lasting
Real Talk: Does It Actually Work?
Yes — and our customers agree.
Dish soap bars are made with plant-based oils, gentle cleansers, and no synthetic fragrances — just a rich, bubbly lather that leaves your dishes squeaky clean.
And bonus? Your hands won’t feel dry or irritated after doing the dishes.
