Product Description
Take a journey into the past with this beautiful 'Zand-Zeep-Soda' (Sand-Soap-Soda) rack, proudly crafted in the Netherlands between 1930 and 1950. This splendid find immediately transports you back in history to a time when cleaning was a true art.

'Zand-Zeep-Soda' was a classic combination of cleaning agents widely used in households well into the 20th century, exuding nostalgic charm today. These cleaning agents were often stored in three metal trays, commonly enamelled, neatly arranged in a rack in the kitchen or hung on the wall.

Soap was a versatile cleaner and came in the form of green soap, with a paste-like consistency. Before use, it had to be dissolved in warm water. For stubborn dirt, soda powder came to the rescue for pre-soaking. And if soap and soda didn't yield the desired results, there was always sand for scrubbing. For optimal results, fine, sharp sand was the best choice. This traditional cleaning method offers a glimpse into bygone times and recalls the simple, effective methods of the past in household chores.

These types of racks were often used in kitchens or bathrooms in the past. They were made of enamelled metal, meaning a layer of glassy material was applied to the metal and then heated. This process gave the rack a smooth, glossy finish, making it durable and easy to clean.

Today, enamelled 'Zand-Zeep-Soda' racks are often considered nostalgic and decorative items that can add a vintage touch to a space. They are also beloved collectables for enthusiasts of antique and retro design.
