Many people who have lived in France miss the particular scents of French laundry and cleaning products: the "grand air" freshness of Soupline, the lavender of Mir and Persil Bouquet de Provence, the green tea of Mir Secret de Nature, the sweet almond of L'Arbre Vert. French cleaning also has its own traditions built on simple ingredients such as Marseille soap, black soap, bleach ( eau de Javel ), soda crystals and bicarbonate, which remain popular alongside modern formulas. Three French Classics Eau de Javel French bleach takes its name from Javel, a district of Paris on the left bank of the Seine where a chemical factory was founded in 1777. Around 1785–1789, the chemist Claude Louis Berthollet developed a hypochlorite solution there for bleaching linen, which was sold as eau de Javel and shortened the bleaching of cloth from months to hours. Today the name means household bleach in French. The range includes La Croix Eau de Javel Disinfectant 1.5L , lavender, eucalyptus and lemon versions, a precision bottle, a bleach gel, 5-in-1 doses, bleach wipes and bleach sprays for the bathroom and kitchen. Marseille Soap Soap-making in Marseille is centuries old. In 1688 an edict signed by Colbert de Seignelay, under Louis XIV, regulated soap production there, requiring pure olive oil and banning animal fats. Traditional Marseille soap is still associated with a high oil content, often 72%, and in household products it stands for gentle, effective cleaning, according to the brands. Find it in Le
