OUR STORY
From a mum's kitchen bench in Brisbane, to worldwide distribution. This is Söka.
Söka Australia, a new Brisbane based company created by Nicole Gibson has a commitment to sustainability through practical innovation, style, space saving, water saving, detergent saving and a focus of bringing organisation and sanity globally to laundry spaces.
The Söka Tub has a primary use for separately soaking soiled, coloured and delicate clothing all in the one space saving bucket which allows for multiple detergent use. The Söka Tub therefore fits easily in the laundry sink with room to still wash your hands, or looks sleek and stylish on any bench or bookshelf around the home.
​
When you purchase a Söka Tub you are not only getting one product for one designated use. The multipurpose design of Söka gives value for money and compliments the growing small residential apartment and unit living construction rates where space is a premium.

SOKA TUB
How do homes benefit from utilising the soka tub?
**Save water in the laundry**
No longer will you fill the laundry sink up with water, add too much detergent and then the water goes down the drain. By having a smaller vessel to house soiled, delicate or coloured clothing will reduce the amount of water needed and similarly the amount of detergent being used.
**Recycle water on the gardens**
The removable compartments allows for easier lifting and carrying of a smaller load to drain on a pot plant or in the garden.
**Encourages the use of biodegradable and earth friendly detergents**
Reusing earth friendly waste water will prove to be more environmentally friendly for our gardens and reduce the toxic waste water going down our drains.
**Supports those individuals with sensitive skin**
The Söka draining lids which avoids skin contact with harsh chemicals or waste water will be a great edition to laundry soaking. This feature allows waste water to be drained and the clothing to be tipped straight into the washing machine all without touching. Perfect for those will skin allergies, skin sensitivities and skin conditions.
**BPA free plastic**
The Söka can even be used to store food.
**Better for manual handling**
The Söka Tub is designed to lift lighter and smaller compartments. By using less water this facilitates an easier lift which everyone especially new mums, kids and the elderly will benefit from.
​
**No risk of children drowning**
With the internal compartments insitu, alongside the draining lids and outer lid, this gives parents peace of mind and increases safety in the laundry and around the home.
