Like most great things, we have TikTok to thank for the Fels-Naptha laundry and stain-removing bar gaining the recognition that it has always deserved.
This versatile and economical cleaning product has apparently been around since 1894, but, as of late, it has people on the internet touting its incredible ability to remove old difficult stains, perspiration and oil marks for clothing and other soft surfaces. Others even swear by it as a home remedy for treating eczema and poison ivy exposure, although that hasn’t been backed by medical experts.
The Fels-Naptha bar is made of a blend of animal fats and coconut oil and works as a pre-treatment for stained clothing. You just wet the stained area, then rub the laundry bar into the stain, helping to lift it from the fabric, before tossing the item in the wash like normal. It’s highly effective at tackling those yellow armpit marks on well-loved white shirts, oil on cuffs or collars, grease marks from foods, dirt and grass stains and even dried-on blood.
