Huge Dish Block® - Vegan (22.5 oz)
A 22.5 oz solid block of dish soap that replaces several plastic bottles of liquid dish soap. Wet a brush or sponge, swipe across the block to lather, wash, rinse. The bar is dense and lasts 2–6 months depending on how much you cook. Fragrance-free, dye-free, vegan, septic safe, and works in hard water. Manufactured in a solar-powered facility in North America by a mother-daughter team (Earth & Daughter LLC, Kyle, TX). DISH BLOCK® is an internationally registered trademark.
- Replaces 3+ plastic dish soap bottles — one 22.5 oz block lasts 2–6 months depending on use.
- Ultra-concentrated solid formula — no water filler, no plastic pump, no shrink wrap.
- Cuts grease and grime — lathers up quickly on a wet brush or sponge.
- Works in hard water — tested for hard-water performance (package badge).
- Septic-safe and biodegradable — safe for septic systems; ingredients rinse through plumbing without persistent residue.
- Fragrance-free and dye-free — no added scent, no colorants. Good for fragrance-sensitive households.
- Vegan, palm-oil-free, cruelty-free — no animal-derived ingredients, no palm-derived ingredients, not tested on animals.

- Made in a solar-powered facility in North America by a mother-daughter team.
From the package:
- Apply wet brush/sponge to DISH BLOCK® bar.
- Lather up the dish — a little goes a long way.
- Stack up several dishes, then rinse (saves water).
- Keep soap high and dry between uses.
- Not designed for diluting in a sink full of water.
A soap dish helps the block dry between uses, which is the difference between a bar that lasts the full 2–6 months and one that softens prematurely. The Moso Bamboo Soap Dish fits this Huge Dish Block, or any draining dish will do.

Paperbox only — no plastic, no shrink wrap, no plastic window. The box is curbside-recyclable. ZeroWasteOutlet ships in paper or cardboard mailers and recycled paper void fill, never plastic.
From the package, an honest note: “There will be imperfections, chips, cracks, fissures and roughness on the bar and rough variations on the surface, this is normal.” This is a solid block, not a precision-molded cosmetic bar — expect a hand-cut industrial look.
- Block: use down to the last sliver; dissolve any final pieces in a small bowl of warm water to use up.
- Paperbox: flatten and recycle with curbside paper, or tear down for home compost.
- Barcode/label sticker: peel off if your local stream prefers label-free paper.
No plastic to separate. The package says it best: no plastic here.
If you want the smaller size: see the regular Dish Washing Block (6 oz and 4.4 oz). The Moso Bamboo Soap Dish fits both sizes: Moso Bamboo Soap Dish.
Bought together
I've been using this for exactly a week and it cleans very well, removes grease and if there's anything stuck on a dish, I leave it soaking with some of this soap and it helps soften it to remove easier. I also purchased the pot brush and regular dish brush from this shop and they work great too. I wash so many dishes because I cook breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily. So I'll have to see how long a huge block will last me. So far the picture I've included is a weeks use washing lots of dishes all day long every day.
Hi there! We're so glad to hear the Huge Dish Block® is working well for you and that you're enjoying your new brushes. Thanks for sharing your experience — happy dishwashing!
I’ve been using this giant block of soap for years now and it’s my go-to! I started in 2020 and I’m probably on my 5th or 6th block. They last forever! I’ve turned my boyfriend onto it — he’s sold. And my mom still rolls her eyes when she comes to my house but whatever.
This outlet company is very cute, family owned, and they wrote a hand written note with first order which was nice.
Amazing soap used with a dish brush. A little goes a long way… love it!
Hi Julia, we're so glad you love the Huge Dish Block®! Thanks for sharing your experience. Happy dishwashing!
Love, Love, Love this dish soap. It works great, has eco-friendly ingredients, and minimal packaging. Eliminated another plastic container. Definitely a win for the planet!
Hi Laura, we're thrilled to hear you love the Huge Dish Block®! Thank you for sharing your positive experience and for helping the environment with your choice. We appreciate your support!
I absolutely love this company. I have been buying this soap for the past couple years and sill continue to do so. Highly recommend
The huge dish block is the most economical way to eliminate plastic dish soap bottles from your kitchen.
Hi Margaret, thank you for sharing your positive experience! We're so glad the Huge Dish Block helps reduce plastic waste in your kitchen. We appreciate your support!
Dishes suck. I have to do it a lot and it's annoying. But plastic is even more annoying and I hated how often I ended up with plastic trash with the usual, grocery store dish soap. This is an amazing alternative. It gets a little dirty, but, uh, it's easy to rinse off. Combined with the dish soap tray, perfect. So much better than some chemical filled soap that ends with plastic waste.
Hi Heidi, we're so glad to hear you love the Huge Dish Block®! It's wonderful to know it's making your dish-washing more sustainable and easier. Thank you for sharing your experience!
The absolute BEST dish soap
In an effort to cut back on plastic bottles and liquid soap waste we decided to order the Vegan dish soap block. The soap lathers well and cleans well. Can't beat that! It also lasts a long time. We recommend the soap block to family and friends all the time.
I love this large block of soap. It works well on dishes and pots and pans and your hands. I tried using a brush at first and found that cutting into smaller pieces as needed is so much easier. I wrote down when I got it and documented that it lasted a full 5 months! I’ve ordered it twice now and can’t wait for it to restock! Just cut into pieces and enjoy.
This has been our go to dish soap for a number of years now. We live overseas and always make sure to take a few blocks back with us when we visit the US. It is always worth making room in the suitcase for a product that is tough on dirty dishes, is easy to use with the natural brushes also sold by Zero Waste, and uses clean, plant based goodness in its products. A bonus is knowing that I am not adding another plastic bottle to the planet when we are done with the product.
LOVE this dish block! The soap gets sudsy and thick enough to handle all grease, and the block lasts almost forever.
I like both this product and the concentrated laundry product that you carry
Once you use this soap, you cant enjoy using anything else!!! Super sudsy, lasts forever, shipped in TRUE compostable materials, and looks nice in ZWO’s bamboo tray.
Out of all my family, I'm the one passionate about zero waste. We've been using expensive liquid dish soap from a local zero waste company, but I end up going quite often because we hand-wash a lot of kitchen items. This block is HUGE and should last us a long time! And thank goodness for instructions (which sounds weird, I know). It's helped everyone get on the same page about how best to use and actually clean our dishes with this soap block. It cleans really well, too!
I have rebought this soap about 3 ish times. This is the onlt dish soap i will use. 10/10 if you’re looking for a block/bar of soap THIS IS THE ONE :)
Love this soap. No plastic bottles and it lathers and cleans like nobody’s business.
Sooo I'm about a week in and there are pros and cons. I like the smell and the process of using the block. It requires thought because it's so different from the old way. I really like the brush that it's paired with and it's lathers beautifully. That does not however translate to rags or sponges very well so you kinda need to get the long brush for cups.
What I don't like is how much product can be wasted as the soap falls when you reapply to the brush. I don't like that (possibly due to ignorance) there are little blotches on my brassware and glass ware. It may require additional steaming or soaking post rinse. I have decided to leave a rag under the soaps bamboo holder to catch fallen produce but some sort of dish is likely better if it's the right size.
I like the aesthetic on my sink. I tend to rinse the block pre and post use because the will be residue on it naturally.
Over all. I'm not completely over it, but I will still be exploring other options.
Easy to use, effective and cuts through grease
This dish block soap works as well as any bottled dishsoap and leaves your hands feeling soft. It also looks cool on the kitchen sink and lasts a really long time.
This giant block lasts so long and is a great deal! We’ve been using this brand for years now and love the way it cleans. No streaks or residue.
Love this dishwashing block! Cuts grease, foams well and cleans beautifully.
I was surprised just how well this soap works. I needed something so I can wash dishes as I go. We had speghetti with garlic bread and this cut through the grease so well.
I really love this big block of dish soap. Lathers nicely, cleans well, and smells good. And it's nice to be able to feel so virtuous every time I don't buy a plastic bottle of soap.
Been using for over a year. Cuts grease and grime like any other high-end product. Great lather. Love it.
Love the vegan dish block. Works great with our home grown luffas for hand washing dishes. Works as well and quite possibly better than liquid dish soap.
Shipped fast. Great product. Hoping the three pack will last a long time!
It's my secund time buying one of these, they last so long (over a year) and I've yet to meet a greasy pot or pan it couldn't clean.
