A solid block of dish soap that replaces several plastic bottles of liquid dish soap. Available in three options: a 6 oz fragrance-free bar (replaces 2–3 bottles), a compact 4.4 oz fragrance-free bar, and a 4.4 oz Citrus Lemongrass bar (lemongrass essential oil + d-limonene for extra grease-cutting). All three are vegan, biodegradable, septic-safe, and work in hard water. Manufactured in a solar-powered facility in North America by a mother-daughter team (Earth & Daughter LLC, Kyle, TX). DISH BLOCK® is an internationally registered trademark. For the much larger 22.5 oz size, see the Huge Dish Block®. Features Replaces 2–3 plastic dish soap bottles (per 6 oz block) — ultra-concentrated solid formula, no water filler. Cuts grease and grime — lathers up quickly on a wet brush or sponge. Works in hard water — Sodium Gluconate in the formula binds Ca²⁺/Mg²⁺ ions so the soap still lathers. Septic-safe and biodegradable — ingredients rinse through plumbing without persistent residue. Fragrance-free + dye-free on the 6 oz and 4.4 oz unscented bars; Citrus Lemongrass 4.4 oz uses lemongrass essential oil + d-limonene for scent. Vegan, palm-oil-free, cruelty-free — no animal-derived ingredients, no palm-derived ingredients, not tested on animals. Multi-purpose beyond dishes — works on stuck-on labels, greasy stovetops, and stained fabric. (Always test fabric in an inconspicuous area first.) Made in a solar-powered facility in North America by a mother-daughter team. How to Use From the package: Apply wet brush/sponge to DISH BLOCK® bar. Lather up the dish — a little goes a long way. Stack up several dishes, then rinse (saves water). Keep soap high and dry between uses. Not designed for diluting in a sink full of water. A draining soap dish helps the block dry between uses, which is the difference between a bar that lasts months and one that softens prematurely.

The box is curbside-recyclable. ZeroWasteOutlet ships in paper or cardboard mailers and recycled paper void fill, never plastic. From No Tox Life, an honest note: the block is a solid dense bar, not a precision-molded cosmetic soap — expect imperfections, chips, and surface variations. That is normal. End of Life Disposal Block: use down to the last sliver; dissolve any final pieces in a small bowl of warm water to use up. Paperbox: flatten and recycle with curbside paper, or tear down for home compost. Barcode/label sticker: peel off if your local stream prefers label-free paper. Related Need a bigger size?
