Great for sensitive skin, and leaves laundry clean, soft, and fresh. It is safe for all fabric types both synthetic and natural. Use for dedicates, silk, wool, cloth diapers & more.
Use soap berries in laundry in lieu of standard detergents. Usually 1/2 cup of soap nut shells are sufficient for a normal-sized load. Secure the shells inside a cloth bag or mesh zippered laundry bag. You will see few to no bubbles during the wash cycle, but this doesn't mean it is not working. Add a few drops of essential oils to the cycle if you prefer fragrance. Lavender, orange, or lemon essential oils work nicely. The soap nuts naturally smell similar to unripe/sour berries. These are safe to use in energy efficient washers.
When to replace them: They can be reused several times before they begin to disintegrate. Once the shells appear gray and soft, you can discard or compost them. Dry out between washes.
Fragrance: They do not have a smell when dry. When using in laundry, they may cause the wash water to smell slightly of vinegar. You can use essential oils if desired.
For All-Purpose Cleaner: Put a handful of soap nuts in 2 cups of hot water and boil the mixture for 10-15 minutes. Allow to cool, strain and add liquid to bottle. Use to clean your house from top to bottom!
