Are you looking for a natural and eco-friendly alternative to conventional laundry detergents? If so, soap nuts might just be the perfect solution. Soap nuts are a sustainable, plant-based alternative that will keep your laundry clean without harsh chemicals or excessive plastic packaging. Let’s take a look at what soap nuts are and why you should switch to them as your go-to laundry solution.
What Are Soap Nuts?
Soap nuts are actually not nuts at all; they’re the dried fruit of the Sapindus mukorossi tree which grows in warm climates like India and Indonesia. The outer shells of these fruits contain saponin which is a natural surfactant and cleanser that can be used as an effective substitute for traditional detergents. Unlike conventional detergents, soap nuts don’t create suds but they still provide effective cleaning power while being gentle on fabrics.
How Do I Use Soap Nuts?
Using soap nuts is easy – simply place 4-6 of them in the small cotton bag provided with your purchase, tie it closed, and place it into your washing machine before starting your wash cycle. As the bag agitates through with the water, it will release saponin which will clean and soften your clothes naturally. Once you have finished washing, simply remove the bag and rinse out the shells so that they can be reused up to 6 times before needing to be replaced.
Benefits of Using Soap Nuts
There are many benefits to using soap nuts for washing your clothes. For starter, soap nuts are naturally hypoallergenic and gentle on skin—so if you have sensitive skin or allergies, this is definitely something to consider! Additionally, because soap nuts don’t contain any harsh chemicals like traditional detergents do, they’re much better for the environment. This means no more worrying about polluting our rivers with chemical runoff from detergents! And last but not least, soap nuts can save you money in the long run—a single pound of soap nut shells can provide up to 200 loads of laundry!
