Clean paws – Great success getting blood stains from clothing and many years ago I had a cat with white paws which he used to get filthy and I would wash them with Sard, he didn't mind at all.
Miracle worker on years old carpet stains – We purchased our house in 2020 with several bad strains on the carpets. The agent tried to hide one of the stains which was a real eyesore. Tried Sard Woner Soap and carpets are now like new. Truly amazing product. Show details
Recent purchase at local Woollie’s 2025 works well with sheets and other whites However my fluoro workshirt suffered by a type of partial bleaching in the rubbed areas as in photo. Has something changed in the composition of Sard Wonder Soap? We are now keeping this cake of soap for Whites Only! My wife has used Wonder Soap soap for over 40 years… Read more
on colours and whites for effective stain removal. Is. It the Fluoro colour or the soap that has changed. This top is over 5 years old and has had normal washing over this time. It hasn’t needed stain removal before. See on the photo for the areas the soap was rubbed.

Old fashioned and it works – I sell pre-loved clothes and clean and repair them prior to sale. I've used the Sard Wonder Soap bar for years and it works, but it does take some effort as it's not a spray on product. Instead of getting the whole piece of clothing wet I just put the area of the stain under the tap, get the edge of the soap bar wet, rub it over the stain, leave… Read more
it for about 20 minutes then chuck the clothing in the washing machine on the correct temperature cycle for the fabric type. For stubborn stains I also have a toothbrush, and I rub that over the wet soap and then onto the stain on wet fabric. For tough stains I put my finger under the fabric so it drapes and that opens up the weave, and give it a rub with the wet soap and toothbrush - it gets right into the fabric. You have to take into account the stain type, fabric and read the care label - obviously you don't scrub delicate silk or chiffon with a brush. 9/10 times this soap works. I've tried different spray on products over the years and prefer this. Also the bar lasts for ages, I probably buy one every few years and keep it in a plastic travel soap dish in the laundry.
The only product that actually cleaned my lounge – I tested about 8 different carpet and upholstery cleaners/ shampoos/ stain removers for a beige couch I was fixing for a friend, it was no longer beige it was dark grey... All the expensive cleaners worked in some way in lifting the stains but the only product that could truely lift the stain plus hold onto it and then easily remove was the… Read more
cheapest one - SARD Wonder Soap Bar.
Note - if you are doing a heavily stained lounge or carpet remember with this product a little goes a long way, I litreallly just got a bowl of hit water dunked it in then lightly went over all the bad bits - which was the whole lounge lol.
Then I got a shoes brush, like the ones you would buff out your shoes with put that in the hot water then went over all the areas and in sections not all at once as you don’t want the soap to dry out. As your scrubbing the best way to know if what you’re doing is correct is if you see foam, if you see foam your doing a good job, no foam? Maybe put more water / soap or scrub a little harder.
When product starts to foam just wipe the big bits off then pat dry up the excess moisture / stain with a microfibre cloth. I was actually punching / pushing hard up and down and this worked better for me - mostly for stress lol.
The 8th Wonder of the World – I opened my new Pkt of Sards Wonder Soap this morning and thought, I must go to the Website and tell them how much I love this Product and instead saw this Product Review area. I have used Sards Wonder Soap constantly from the moment it went on Sale first in my Home in New Zealand and also since moving to Australia 14 years ago. I admit to… Read more · 3
having tried other Products over the years only to throwing them out after one use because, NOTHING COMPARES to this Product... I do mean NOTHING. I've used SWS on carpet stains and in every other possible situation imaginable around the House, in my Car etc., and it still comes up trumps every time. For me, there is NO BETTER, MORE VERSATILE PRODUCT in my Laundry Cupboard. I will keep using this Product for as long as they Produce it and then some, because I have many many Pkts in my "Doomsday Cupboard" to keep me going long after others have run out. Gael, Maudsland, Queensland, Australia. I LOVE everything about it and over the years have told anybody who listens to me that SWS is the best Product around for any of Life's little problems.

Amazing soap as it removes blood stains from white bed sheets – I cut my leg and it bled a little across the top and bottom of new white sheets plus the mattress cover at night while sleeping. I looked up how to remove blood and all suggestions was for hydrogen peroxide. The smell of this is hard to get out of bed sheets and undercover. I tried some Wonder Soap - using it and giving the sheets and undercover… Read more
a good scrub with gloves on the blood stains completely removed then I washed the items,
It really is a wonder soap and is available at Coles supermarkets if you live in Australia.
Brilliant – I had oil stains on a brand new jumper. I googled best way to get out. First I tried the most common response which was dish detergent. It maybe lightened the stains a bit but they were still there. I then tried Sard wonder soap and the stains have completely gone! I love this product. Show details
Incredible bathroom and kitchen cleaner – Sard Wonder Soap does an unbelievable job cleaning neglected bathrooms and kitchens. I get the suds going by lathering the bar in a microfibre cleaning cloth and apply to the shower, stove top whatever. After about 5 mins dwell time I give it a quick scrub or wipe over with a microfibre cloth and hey presto the results are stunning. I love Sard Wonder Soap for everything. Cheap, no irritating vapours and gentle on our waterways. Show details
Negative reviews
Hopeless didn’t work at all – Followed directions and did not clean at all. Save your money and do not get this product. Sent email to customer information with no response. Very disappointed with this product. Show details
Not what it used to be – I scrubbed as hard as nails with this soap just now, years ago it would of rid of the stain in jiffy, the stains are still there....looks like i will be looking elsewhere for a soap that removes stains Show details
Could be a lot better – It's good for lightening things like dirty socks or lightening greying whites but extremely poor for stubborn isolated stains. I used wonder soap in conjunction with sards wonder super power spray (twice) for a food stain on a shirt and it hardly even lightened it. Super disappointed. Show details

Worked wonders on dried blood – Sard Wonder Soap did an amazing job of removing dried blood from my tan leather sofa. Not too harsh, it didn't mar the finish or rub-up the surface at all. Show details

If this can’t get the stain out nothing will! – The BEST stain remover, lasts ages. Cost only a few dollars! Couldn’t live without it honestly. My partner is a mechanic & I can get every single oil stain out of his clothes every time! Removes blood & wine! Note that it does lighten clothes over time. Show details
Genuine stain remover – I have used sard soap for 35 years. 3 sons cricket whites and later chefs whites. Best stain remover ever made. Highly recommend this product. It genuinely does what it says!
Best Stain remover – Works better then soaking at removing all food based stains off my toddlers clothes. It was so disheartening to do a load of her washing, dried and folded to see bolognese sauce or pumpkin still on it ! I tried this and it’s Amazing. All I do is rub this soap over anything that looks like it won’t come out from washing alone and wash away. Don’t… Read more
need to bother with mixing up soaking solutions or wringing out soaking wet clothes to load into the machine anymore. I wish I’d found it before cause it would’ve dealt with poo explosions well too!
Magic soap – Sard soap has been a staple in my laundry for 42 years. Wet the stain, rub with soap, leave 20mins before fully washing. My granddaughter calls it Nannys magic soap. Show details
love it – I brought this soap to get some old stains out of a dress. It does the tick and leaves no nasty smells (I cannot use washing powders because of this reason). I also used some on a cloth to wash my oven grills. I was amazed of how it removed some rust and dirt of the grill. Is my saviour Show details
Laundry essential – This soap is good for treating smaller stains by hand. You can also use it for greasy collars. I think it works better than the spray-on Sard treatment, although it does require more elbow grease. I always keep it on hand. Remember to tailor the water temperature to the stain, e.g. use cold water on blood stains (hot water sets them). It doesn't leave a strong smell providing you rinse the item properly.
Effective yet kind – Works on most stains, but is kind to the fabric itself. Does not cause my sensitive skin any irritation. Has removed stains that would not come off with sprays. Will purchase again. Show details
you should follow this up with another clean up – I have a bunch of dirty blankets, pillows etc., and I tried using this one. I noticed that the stains are partially removed. I worked my way aorund it and followed it up with another cleaning with a machine and the blankets/pillows are good as new. Show details
It doesn't work!!! – I stained a pillow case and I used wonder soap to get off the spot but didnt work. Unfortunately, I bought this soap thinking about the solution and I realised this product its a shame. Show details

It is better to keep one your washing room – It is good for clean heavy dirty spots before you use washing machine. Or you can wash your delicate clothes with it. I don’t use often for normal clothes. But I often use for my cleaning goods makes clean by that soap . Nice and I like it. Show details
Incredible Stain Remover – Where have you been? I have found this AMAZING soap after been in Australia for over 13 years. All my stained clothes have came back to life. I have also bought the spray bottle and I am very happy with both products. If I knew about this soap before I would have saved lots of money not buying stain removers never did the job and I wouldn't have… Read more
thrown away stained clothes. I won't live without them anymore. P.S.: I believe its one of the greatest inventions in Australia and is good for the environment.
Excellent – I’ve been using this soap for years! It’s great for any fabric! Recently my dog came into season & soiled my bedspread - I was devastated as my late mother-in-law had given it to me 30 years ago from her trip to Mexico... BUT after soaking the stain in Sard for 3/4hr, the stain was no longer! Fantastic!
AMAZING! Saved me $600 – Hired a very expensive $600 dress which ended up very badly stained by the end of the event. Specialist dry cleaners couldn't even help the stains in the slightest. Soaked the dress in napisan for 24 hours and then used sard wonder soap and within and hour of soaping and scrubbing, the stains basically were unable to notice the stain!!! I would of had to pay $600 to replace the dress
Sard Spray STUFFED it! – I used Sard Wonder Spray exactly as it stated on white 100% cotton and it turned YELLOW. Tried ringing the company, no human response. Left messages. No reply. I am not happy
Animal Saftey – There is too many people considering using this on their pets, if you put this on your pet without thinking.... you need to be reported. Animals are more sensitive than us and if it makes us rashy and itchy and its clearly not good for us, clearly your pets is a big no no for sard.
Disappointed and devastated at the same time! – I have been using Sard Wonder spray for years and purchased the Super Power for the first time. I sprayed a brand new white expensive windcheater where it has left yellow staining. I'm really disappointed and devastated as I don't know how to remove the stains.
Still a great product! – Was going to throw out some white pillowcases and pillow protectors that were in good condition, but had yellowed. Soaked them with the soap, and they are like new! I recommend the soap to just about everyone, and now they love it too. The stick is also an excellent product, it's a little more expensive but easy for spot treatments, especially for those that don't have time for soaking.
News Flash: Product actually works as advertised!!! – Sard Wonder Soap (the old fashioned bar of soap) is without a doubt the best stain remover on the market. It may not be the newest, sexiest or prettiest product in your laundry but.... it works!!! I have tried many of the newer products but don’t find them as good as the original Sard Wonder Soap. Sard: it works, works well, is not expensive and I couldn’t do without it. Great product
SOAP WORKS..... but the Nozzle ...WHY? – Soap works BUT... We tip it into the old spray bottle and use it. I cannot get the nozzle to work on the new bottle. At least we didn't tip it all down the sink trying to get the nozzle to work.
Sards Wonder Spray 5 star product - 1 star packaging – I have been using Sards wonder spray for many years and love this product. Even though it is the better product on the supermarket shelves I have decided to use another product because of the change in packaging that is the new Sards spray bottle foaming nozzle. The foaming spray nozzle is extremely messy and totally unnecessary. I do… Read more
not believe it targets the stain. I can't understand why your company has wasted so much money on new packaging. When will people learn "If it ain't broke then don't fix it".
True to it's word – After using this product for years getting grass stains out of baseball clothes it did not let me down. After turning roast potatoes hot oil spilt down the front of my favourite dress rubbed sards stick over the stains then soaked in sards eucalyptus overnight washed in cold water stains disappeared thank you
New sprayers don't work – The new sprayers don't work and the product drips, so you are losing half the product on the ground. I would only buy this product when it is half price.
