I have been using this soap for 3 years now. One large block lasts my family of 4 about 8 months. The soap suds up very easily with just 3-4 gentle wipes across it. I use natural loofah style sponges, washcloths and natural bottle brushes with it. You don't need a lot. I use the excess soap left on my cloth to clean the counters, stove, table and sink. Then wipe them with the rinsed cloth. It also cuts through grease! I love it so much that I
stock and buy multiple blocks and send some to my 30 yo daughter for her home. It helps us to protect our planet from so many bottles of plastic and a huge waste of water, which is the precious commodity. This is very important to my adult children who have encouraged me to use eco-friendly products. This dish soap has become one of favorite must-have products.
