Advantages of soap nuts:
*Environmentally Friendly
Soap nuts contain saponin, a natural detergent which can be used as an environmentally friendly alternative to manufactured, chemical detergents for laundry and household cleaning. Can also be used as a shampoo and as a body or hand soap.
Liquid made from soap nuts can be used in place of most household chemical cleaners - window cleaner, bathroom cleaner, kitchen cleaner, floor cleaner, dishwashing detergent and dishwasher powder. Experiment and see what works best for you.
*Econonmical
A few nuts can be placed in a cotton drawstring bag in with a washload and reused several times. Alternatively, you can make a liquid out of the soap nuts for use in your machine. A 1kg bag of soap nuts will last the average family one year. Compare that to the annual cost of commerical washing powders and liquids and household cleaners.
*Clothes friendly
Soap nuts are safe for washing silk, woollens and other delicate fabrics. Because they are so mild, they help your clothes last longer, eliminate the need for fabric softener and are safe for babies clothing and nappies and for people with sensitive skin or allergies.
