Soap nuts, or soap berries, have become increasingly popular in recent years for a variety of reasons. They are an amazing natural detergent due to anatural cleaning essence that is contained in their shell.
Because they are so gentle, soap nuts are a great option for those who have sensitive skin, eczema, or psoriasis. They are perfect for laundering baby clothes and cloth diapers, leaving no harsh chemicals on your babys behind. Not only are soap nuts gentle on the skin and effective at washing clothes (even removing mild stains), but they are extremely affordable costing only pennies for multiple washes.
Dont be intimidated to introduce these harmless nuts into your cleaning regimen. They are actually quite simple to use. Soap nuts can be used for all laundry (hand-washed, commercial and standard machines, and HE). They are also safe for septics and greywater systems. To use, place the nuts (4-6) in a muslin bag, which is usually provided when you purchase them. Toss the sack of nuts into the machine and wash as usual.
