What is scallop powder (baked scallop powder)?

618 Scallop Powder

First of all, this scallop powder is made from scallop shells that would otherwise be discarded as industrial waste, but are baked at high temperatures and turned into powder.It is a white, ultra-fine powder similar to flour, and the shells used in its production have passed radiation tests, so you can use it with confidence.

In addition, it is made in a factory licensed to manufacture food additives, so it boasts food-grade quality .

Scallop powder is made from 100% natural ingredients and does not require biodegradation.This is an environmentally friendly product that returns to nature after use, cleaning drains and rivers.

Characteristics and effects of scallop powder

The greatest feature of scallop powder (baked scallop shell powder) is its strong alkalinity .

When dissolved in water, it has a pH of 12 , which provides powerful cleaning, deodorizing, and disinfecting properties .

Since most household stains are acidic, such as oil and sebum, this product can be used in place of detergent in most places around the house.It also has deodorizing and disinfecting effects, so you really only need this one product.

Furthermore, despite its strong alkaline pH of 12, scallop powder water does not denature proteins, making it safe to use directly on skin, hair, and in the mouth.It also contains no preservatives, fragrances, or other chemicals, making it safe for use on babies and pets .

⚠️However, please note that it cannot be used on some items, such as aluminum or leather products .

What makes scallop powder different from other eco-cleaners?

Baking soda and sodium sesquicarbonate are often compared. Both are alkaline, so there is no doubt that they are effective against grease stains.

Baking soda has the coarsest particles and is highly abrasive , so it is recommended to sprinkle it on burnt food on pots and pans.

The advantage of sodium bicarbonate is that it dissolves easily in water , so most people use it as a spray.

Now, scallop powder has a higher pH than baking soda or sodium percarbonate, so it is more resistant to oily stains, has a strong deodorizing effect, and is the only powder that also has antibacterial properties.

I've been using it since I lived in Taiwan, and in a hot and humid living environment where mold grows easily, this scallop powder can be used for a variety of purposes, including as a deodorizer, detergent, disinfectant wipe, vegetable cleaner, and cleaning around my cat's litter box, so it's become an essential item in my home, which I often recommend in my videos.

This video was filmed after I returned to Japan, and shows my home's detergent-free lifestyle. The main language is Chinese (Traditional), so please turn on CC subtitles when watching. Please also refer to this video.

How to make a basic scallop spray

First, put the scallop powder into a spray bottle to make a handy " scallop spray ." With this, you can easily clean and disinfect anytime.

How to make scallop spray (low concentration)

For everyday use, it is most convenient to put it in a spray bottle.

  • 1g (1/4 teaspoon) scallop powder per 1L of water
  • 0.5g (a pinch) of scallop powder per 500ml of water

*How to make an ultra-low concentration spray for babies and pets

  • 0.5g (a pinch) of scallop powder per 1L of water

We occasionally receive inquiries about clogged spray nozzles. When we check the photos, the solution is quite cloudy, and in most cases, it's because too much has been added . If your spray bottle clogs frequently, try reducing the amount you add. Also, if the nozzle is clogged, try immersing it in water with citric acid dissolved in it for an hour. After leaving it, spraying the water will return it to normal. Please give it a try.

And many more - Concentration usage chart

PurposeAmount of waterScallop powder amountconcentrationpH value
Ultra-low concentration (babies, sensitive skin)1L0.5g (a pinch)0.05%about 11
Low concentration (daily cleaning/vegetable washing)1L1g (1/4 teaspoon)0.1%about 12
Medium concentration (stubborn stains)1L2g (1/2 teaspoon)0.2%Approximately 12 or more
High concentration (soaking)1L3-5g (just under 1 teaspoon)0.3-0.5%Approximately 12 or more

With a strong alkaline pH of 12, it provides sufficient cleaning and disinfecting effects even at low concentrations . Generally, increasing the concentration of alkaline substances also increases the pH value, but the increase tends to be more gradual above pH 12.

It is known that when scallop powder approaches saturation, it plateaus at around pH 12.5 to 13. Therefore, if you do not want to lower the pH level for an extended period of time, such as when soaking laundry, we recommend using a higher concentration . However, please rest assured that adding a lot of powder will not cause the pH to rise rapidly.

Techniques to maximize effectiveness

Utilizing temperature

  • Cold water (below 10°C) : Maintains the freshness of vegetables
  • Room temperature (around 20℃) : Daily cleaning
  • Lukewarm water (40°C) : For sebum stains
  • Hot water (over 60°C) : Increased effectiveness in removing oil stains and disinfecting

Estimated time

Versatile uses for scallop powder

Specific usage methods by location and purpose

Living Room

When wiping down the living room, hallway, entrance , etc., it is recommended to spray Scallop Spray and then wipe with a tightly wrung out rag or dishcloth.

The alkaline scallop powder is highly effective against acidic dirt such as sebum and fingerprints, thoroughly removing even invisible dirt. There is no need to wipe with water, making cleaning easy.

If your flooring is feeling sticky, add 2L of warm water and 2g of powder to a bucket and dissolve thoroughly. Soak a rag in the powder water, wring it out, and wipe the entire surface. This will remove years of accumulated sebum and dirt from your feet. Finally, use a fan or air conditioner to quickly dry the floor, restoring a smooth, comfortable floor.

[Sterilizing and deodorizing spray]

Make the standard scallop spray (low concentration) in a sealable container such as a plastic bottle, and leave it for about an hour for the scallop powder to settle. Transfer the top layer to a spray bottle and sprinkle it on the areas of the room that are of concern. Let it dry naturally and it will serve as a disinfectant and deodorizer.

[Homemade disinfecting wipes]

It's also convenient to make homemade disinfecting wipes using scraps of old fabric. Just cut a piece of cloth to the appropriate size, moisten it with a low-concentration spray, and wipe it down quickly to create a disinfecting wipe. Unlike commercially available disposable wipes, these can be washed and reused multiple times, making them economical and reducing waste.

Kitchen Edition

Scallop powder is resistant to grease and is therefore ideal for cleaning the kitchen .

Simply spray scallop spray (low concentration) on your gas stove or kitchen worktop and wipe to remove even stubborn stains. For heavily soiled areas such as fish grills and ventilation fan filters, fill the sink with hot water, dissolve scallop powder in it, and soak the items in the solution.

[Ventilation fan, range hood, fish grill]

To remove stubborn stains from your kitchen, try the following methods:

Preparation: High concentration soaking solution (2L of hot water: 5g of powder)

procedure:

  1. Fill a sink or large container with hot water
  2. Melt the powder and add the parts
  3. Soak for 1 hour
  4. Rub gently with a sponge
  5. Rinse thoroughly with running water

Tip: Using water over 60 degrees Celsius will dramatically remove oil stains.

[Dishwashing and disinfection]

Scallop spray (low concentration) is also useful for everyday dishwashing.

Simply wipe off any grease or food residue, rinse lightly with water, then spray with scallop spray and rinse to keep your dishes clean.

By the way, we don't use any dish soap at home. We use scallop spray for oily stains and just hot water for light stains. When doing so, we use this mini towel from the Cotton series . It comes off easily without using detergent.

Also, after thoroughly washing cutting boards, knives , steamers, bamboo baskets , etc., spray them with scallop spray and let them dry. This will prevent mold from growing.

If you want to disinfect dishcloths, add 1 teaspoon of scallop powder to 2 liters of hot water (over 60°C) , then soak them in medium-concentrated scallop water for 10 to 30 minutes. This will disinfect and deodorize the item all at once.

[Ingredient preparation]

Scallop powder can also be used to prepare meat and fish .

Simply spray the scallop spray on the surface of the food and leave it for an hour or two; the minerals will tenderize the meat and bring out the flavor of the food.

To enjoy it to the fullest, be sure to wipe off any moisture from the surface before grilling. This will also remove any bacteria on the surface of the food, making it safer.

Washing vegetables and fruits

Scallop powder is also effective in removing pesticides (oil film) from the surface of vegetables and fruits.

Simply dissolve 1g of scallop powder in 1L of water and soak vegetables and fruits in it for about 5 minutes to disinfect and clean them at the same time.

Simply soaking the cut surfaces of vegetables and fruits in scallop water can help prevent oxidation and extend the shelf life of the food. Also, if you're preserving shiso or growing pea sprouts hydroponically, dissolving a small amount of scallop powder in water will help them grow healthily.

Acid stainsSebum, dirt, soap scum, black mold, pink slimeBlackish, slimy, pinkscallop powder
Alkaline stainsWater stains, soap scum (metal soap), scale on mirrorsWhite marks, rough, hard, cloudyCitric acid water

By the way, in my house we use only soap and never use any detergents containing synthetic surfactants, such as shampoo, conditioner, or body wash, so detergent stains don't stick to the surface. So after a bath, I quickly scrub it with a detergent-free brush, rinse it off, and then spray the whole thing with scallop spray and I'm done.

The bathroom is the place where steam is most prevalent after use, making it easier to remove dirt. If you wash it immediately, you don't need detergent, no dirt remains, and no mold grows. Not only that, even a strong mold remover couldn't remove the black stains in the 52-year-old bathroom, but after spraying this Scallop Spray for a year, they were completely white. Lol

The bathroom is where you can best experience the antibacterial power of scallop powder, so be sure to use it every day.

Laundry

Using scallop powder in your laundry will thoroughly remove dirt and keep your laundry clean.

Unlike neutral detergents, it won't cause mold in the washing machine drum. The more you use it, the cleaner the washing machine drum will become. In addition, scallop powder has a deodorizing effect, so you won't have to worry about smelly laundry. Furthermore, if you flush it down the drain, it will clean everything from the drain pipes to the ocean.

In my house, I reuse bath water for washing. The water is still warm in the morning, so it still has great cleaning power.

In addition, since it does not create bubbles, you only need to rinse once, which saves water. If the item is heavily soiled, we recommend soaking it in scallop powder water before washing.
