Repel Bug Off Foaming Hand Soap: The Back-Door Wash for Garden Hands
Save
Around here, summer means coming in from the rows with dirt up to the elbows most days of the week. Our Lavender Repel Bug Off Foaming Hand Soap is the pump we keep for exactly that moment. It is a 10 oz foaming hand wash with a fresh, herbal, outdoorsy lavender scent that matches the rest of our Repel line.
A hand soap first
The Repel name tells you which scent family it belongs to. The job of this bottle is simple: a light, fluffy foam that rinses easily and leaves hands feeling fresh after yard work, camping or a day at the lake. The scent is green and herbal, with lavender at the center, so it feels at home next to muddy boots.
Where it earns its spot
| Spot | Why it works |
|---|---|
| Back door or mudroom | First stop after weeding, mowing or planting |
| Garden shed or potting bench | Wash up before heading in with the harvest |
| Camper or cabin sink | Foam stretches further when water is limited |
| Kitchen in summer | A fresh, green scent for the busiest season |
Washing up after dirty work
- Knock off the worst of the soil outside first, so the sink drain stays happy.
- Pump one or two times and work the foam around nails and knuckles for about twenty seconds.
- Rinse well and dry. A scrub brush helps under fingernails after a big planting day.
When the bottle runs low, refill it only with soap made for foaming pumps; thicker liquid soap will not foam.
Pairing within the Repel line
The Repel scent runs through several products, including a lotion, a spray, a two-in-one shampoo and body wash and a ceramic candle for the porch. If you like the scent at the sink, the lotion is the natural next step for outdoor days. For anything you put on skin before heading out, use it only as directed on its label.

Frequently asked questions
Is this soap an outdoor bug product?
No. It is a foaming hand wash that simply shares the fresh, herbal Repel scent. Use it the way you would any hand soap.
Is the scent too strong for indoors?
It is fresh and green rather than heavy, so it works at a kitchen or bathroom sink as well as the mudroom.
