Terre de Sommières

Sommier soil is in the form of a powdered clay, often ochre-colored (even if there are different shades: white to purple, passing through pale brown and green).

It is an ultra thin smetic clay that can absorb up to 80% of its water weight. This land is a great dry dish without halo, oil, butter, diesel, makeup, etc. on fragile surfaces such as textiles (even silk,) furniture fabrics but also carpets, leathers, marbles, granite, cabinets, floors (tile, stone, parquet, concrete). it also absorbs and neutralizes many other types of spots: urine on cushions, wine spots on the tablecloths, etc.

 

A little history on the land of sommières

Sommier soil was discovered at the beginning of the 19th century near the village of sommières near Montpellier. on site its artisanal exploitation has always been reduced (production of a few hundred tons) and limited to mainly French consumption.

The first use was the degreasing (wool wash) by absorption of fatty bodies, practiced by the scarons and sheets. It is currently extracted from quarries of the Mediterranean basin, especially at the maroc where it is known as the fez soap.

General remarks on the soil of summaries

1 -It is important not to let the stain immerse itself, and act quickly by removing the maximum fat from a paper. Avoid taking a liquid dismantling or using water to remove stains on an absorbent support (wood, leather...) as this could worsen the situation (the liquid penetrates and enlarges the stain). Use somming soil to remove the greasy spot and apply it generously on the spot.

2 - If the stain is old, it must be warmed to the hair dryer, or with an iron for the wax (of 2 layers of paper wiped-all in this case) before sprinkling it with somming soil. the more the stain is old the more it will be necessary to renew the operation with the soil of sommières, until the stain disappears. Sommier soil is suitable for grease spots on wool or carpet. brush the garment, cloth... only when the powder is completely dry.
