NEED a skin and soil-friendly soap that works with you on anything, anywhere, anytime? then WARHORSE MIGHT be your kind of clean.
What’s in this soap? Recognizable functional plant oils—ones you have probably eaten. See what it’s made of. It’s concentrated so a little does a lot. What’s not it the soap is glyphosate and pesticides. I send random samples to Cornertstone Labs to test for glyphosate and pesticides—don’t need those.
How can one soap work for so many uses? It’s loaded with fatty acids from plant oils that are known to work well on mammals. Coconut oil’s lauric acid and natural glycerin are great cleaners and have well-known skin applications. The Vitamin E from the virgin oils is a great benefit to helping clean skin while leaving it moisturized. And yes, the same soap will aggressively clean and shine neglected tubs and showers; greasy pots and dishes; garage floors, barn stalls, trucks, and boats. You can even apply it and come back the next day to wash and rinse. Your hard-working hands and your soil won’t suffer.
And it’s kind to your tribe’s sensitive skin, even with MANY daily uses. If your dog or horse has sensitive skin, not a problem. And, WARHORSE will remove oily build-up and red dirt stains while softening hair and coats.
This simple soap is great for cleaning your skin, but it can also help with your chores. Seriously, you can use it as a body wash and then clean the shower walls before you get out. Get maximum value from WARHORSE by mixing with water to get the job done. You control how much soap you need. Try 3 oz of soap in a quart-sized water bottle and spray down your tub, shower, sink, or any washable surface. Leave WARHORSE to get to work, then come back whenever you want to wash and rinse. The bottle label gives you some suggestions on mixing soap and water for specific cleaning needs.
And if you believe in child labor like me, then give them a bucket of WARHORSE soap and your water, and get them cleaning. You won’t have to worry about what they’ve got their hands in.
WARHORSE helps you travel light. Take a bottle with you to the vacation rental or with your RV adventure. Clean everything with it—countertops, dishes, laundry, leave a bottle in the barn or in your shop. You pick and choose how, when, and where to use WARHORSE Clean Anything Soap.
About Me
My work, starting at a young age, keeps me moving. And, at this grandmother stage of my life, it is the old work lessons that I lean into to teach grandchildren to put away the leftover birthday balloons, the chipping plastic tiaras, and monster trucks. Get into our garden. Maintain the springing collards, carrots, and strawberry beds. Off the couch, mittened-up, and down to the wet oak woodpile, stacking for our much-loved home fires; in the kitchen, making bread for Papa’s lunch box and our down-at-the-creek-picnics: booted, wheelbarrowed, and cleaning the chicken house for the compost pile.
My soap helps keep our big tribe moving forward—human, hound, horse, home, barn, farm, fleet. So with muscle, gravity, and a few modern tools, I make 55-gallon kettles of a versatile soap that can pivot to most of our wonderful dirty jobs. Dirty dump truck, oily work clothes, blood-stained overalls from cleaning acorn-fat deer, poison-oaked hands after battling kudzu.
My carotene gold soap travels with our tribe—all the cleaning required from catching Moorehead Mahi and Swords; inside the rented beach house for that last day of floor mopping, refrigerator clean-out, loads of foul-smelling, mildewy clothes from days of fishing and crabbing; outside for scrubbing down dirty coolers, filet knives, bloody boat, babies’ muck boots, and salty dogs.
My simple soap recipe is one I have tinkered with and tweaked for more than 20 years. It’s very good stuff, but not a revolutionary innovation. Soap chemistry has been around for thousands of years, starting in nature when animal fat came in contact with fire ashes. Good castile soap can tackle a host of cleaning needs from grease and grime on skin and any washable surface. A little does a lot.
WARHORSE soap pivots when we do, tackling our chore list. And this simple soap, like many others out there, is safe enough for kids to use for their chores.
Yes, I support child labor. There is value in doing good work at any age. Tawana, owner of WARHORSE
My grandchildren need to work, play, celebrate, help, laugh, sweat, smile, struggle. Hopefully, a strong work ethic will be my legacy to them. It has always helped me move forward. I need to do a lot good work to be happy. I need a lot of soap.
My soap process is pretty simple—a stainless steel drum over an outdoor furnace, sometimes fueled by biofuel, diesel fuel, or wood. The plant oils go in, along with water and potash to saponify them into a beta-carotene-vitamin e-concentrated-clean. Then, I skim off the thick bubbles on top (which are diluted to clean my truck, house, tools, and shop). Next, I put the soap through a cheesecloth, let it rest for a few days, then balance the pH, so it can be used repeatedly without drying skin.
When the soap order comes in, I mix in the essential oils, ground guar bean gum, and even more glycerin (for extra hair and coat conditioning in case you’re washing your hair, your dog, your water buffalo). My 1983 Isuzu truck and I make local deliveries. My oldest granddaughter likes to help, says she’s making the soap when I get too old. We pack shipments of small bottles, pails, drums to my small group of customers and businesses across the US.
I choose Georgia Grown and US Grown unrefined, organic plant oils to keep all the good stuff that’s in there—sunflower, flax, pumpkin. Often eaten by humans, hounds, and horses, this superfood lineup makes a clean that minimizes skin and environmental issues. And I send random samples to a 3rd party lab to test for glyphosate and pesticides. Who needs these on their skin, boat, coolers, home, soil, hound, horse…?
My recipes are two- decades-tested and effective. But, you don’t need to only use my soap to get a good clean. Any castile soap can tackle most cleaning jobs in the home and on the farm. Explore to find a soap with ingredients you recognize and like.
Once you put the soap to task, if my WARHORSE’s HARVEST doesn’t work for you, I’ll refund your money. And let me know of any issues or questions.
