contributed by riverwalk

Zote Soap has varied uses, including the following:

Hand washing: Moist Zote Soap is rubbed onto the wet garment and rinsed clear.

Stain removal: Zote Soap can be used to pre-treat stains

Delicates: Because Zote Soap has non abrasive ingredients and no salts that could massively deposit in the clothes, it can be used for delicates.

Brightening: Zote Soap contains optical brighteners chemically designed for hand washing. Zote Soap has no chlorine, and thus bleaches without fading color.

Clothes softener: A piece of Zote Soap can be placed in a sock at the end of the wash cycle for soft fragrant towels.

Other uses:

Catfish bait: The manufacturer informs us that Zote Soap be used for catfish bait.. The citronella smell supposedly attracts the fish. Zote Soap is about 66% animal fat and works unbelievably well on trot lines, jug lines, and limb lines. It is soft, yet tough, it's easy to cut, and stays on the hook very well. The Zote Soap melts away the animal fat leaves a scent trail to your baited lines. The carp and other fish leave it alone. This bait works best in warm waters because it doesn't dissolve as well in colder water.

Zote is hard just stream it and you've ready to fish again.

Pipe repair: Some consumers have reportedly mixed Zote Soap and sugar to temporarily repair leaking pipes.

Mosquito Repellent: The Zote Soap's citronella smell drives away mosquitoes.

Soap sculptures: Zote Soap makes excellent soap sculptures due to it long shelve life.

Drawer perfume: Zote Soap smell good and keep away other bugs and mice due to the citronella smell.

Camping: Zote Soap has the mosquito repellent effect, small space need, long storage time, and design for hand washing makes this an ideal soap for camping. It can also be used to do the camp dishes. No need to pack bath soap, mosquito repellent or dish soap.

Disaster supply: Because Zote Soap is designed for hand washing, has a small space requirement & long shelf life, it is a strong consideration for addition to a disaster supply cupboard. In emergencies it can be used as a bath soap or dish soap.

Oily hair: Wash and rinse with any shampoo then lather your washcloth with ZOTE soap. Using the washcloth really scrub your head with the ZOTE soap and rinse. There will be no oil in your hair. Your hair will be absolutely beautiful..

i thought i had seen you post somewhere about possible locations to find zote - but, naturally, cannot recall where i saw it -

i've looked in walmart, big lots, family dollar, dollar general, freds, dollar tree and houchens/i.g.a. - no luck anywhere - what has surprised me is just how small a selection there is nowadays of bar soap - guess everyone's gone to liquid -

gonna keep looking - how in the world can a person go wrong with a product that will keep you clean, caulk open cracks and catch catfish ?

Joan, try some of the same stores you've already tried, but in an area with a big Latino population.

I checked Zote's site, but the 'where can I get it?' page is under construction. You just can't get good help these days.

In the meantime, you can order it online. Amazon has it~

www.amazon.com/Zote-Soap-Laundry-14-11-Ounce-Pack/dp/B001SB55MI

I found it on a bunch of other sites, too, but Amazon was the cheapest I could find.
