Neudorf Black Soap — Plant-Based Cleaner for Grow Rooms and Foliage
Black soap is one of the oldest and most versatile cleaning agents in horticulture. Neudorf Black Soap is formulated from 100% plant-derived fatty acids and is available ready to use in liquid form. In the grow room, black soap is the appropriate product for cleaning foliage after an insect infestation: whitefly, aphids and spider mites secrete honeydew — a sticky, sugar-rich substance on leaves that, left untreated, creates an ideal growing medium for sooty mould fungus. Neudorf Black Soap dissolves this sticky layer and removes it completely from the leaf surface. Browse the complete Pest Control range.
Applications
Neudorf Black Soap is versatile throughout the grow room environment. On leaves, it removes honeydew and other sticky deposits after infestation. On hard surfaces, it cleans growing trays, shelving, tools and floor coverings that have been in contact with plant sap or insects. It is also suitable for cleaning exterior surfaces such as paving, stone and wood. The formula is non-corrosive and pleasant to work with. For a comprehensive preventive strategy, combine cleaning with a foliar protection product such as Biobizz Leaf-Coat after cleaning, and use Yellow Glue Traps as a monitoring tool.
Important distinction: cleaner, not insecticide
Neudorf Black Soap is a cleaning and maintenance product, not an insecticide. It removes the waste matter and sticky residues that insects leave behind, but does not actively kill the insects themselves. For treating active pest infestations, a specific insecticide or biological control agent is required. Black soap is ideal as a follow-up product after an insecticide treatment, or as part of a preventive cleaning routine for the grow space.
Is Neudorf Black Soap an insecticide?
No, Neudorf Black Soap is not an insecticide. It is a plant fatty acid-based cleaner that removes honeydew and other insect deposits from leaves and surfaces. For active pest control, specific insecticide or biological control products are required.
Why use black soap on leaves after an insect infestation?
Black soap is used on leaves to remove honeydew — the sticky, sugary secretion left by aphids, whitefly and other sap-sucking insects. Left untreated, honeydew provides a growth medium for sooty mould fungus that blocks leaf stomata and disrupts photosynthesis. After cleaning with black soap, the leaf surface is restored and the plant can function normally again.
How do I use Neudorf Black Soap in the grow room?
Black Soap is ready to use and requires no dilution. Apply it to the surface to be cleaned — leaves, trays, tools or floor — then scrub or rinse thoroughly with water. For foliage, it is advisable to apply in early evening so that leaves can dry before the next light period begins.
