Soap Berries are your green choice for cleaner laundry and living. Being a renewable resource, we believe that once you have tried using soapberries, you will never want to go back to chemical detergents. There is no need to use fabric softeners either.
Soap Nuts work like a detergent. They contain saponin, an all-natural surfactant. Conventional detergents are manufactured, chemical surfactants.
Are they really nuts? No. Soap Nuts are the dried fruit of the Soapberry Tree (Sapindus Mukorossi), related to the lychee and rambutan. Thereby people with nut allergies need not worry.
Soap Nuts are 100% natural, safe and hypoallergenic. We recommend them for babies and people with sensitive skin.
Don't let the low suds fool you. Most laboratory cleaners contain foaming agents to “trick” consumers that the product is working. In truth, the quantity of bubbles does not tell you if a cleaner is effective!
Soap Nuts keep you clean without phoney bubbles. Because they are low sudsing, Soap Nuts are ideal for H.E. and front- loader machines.
You get 25 berries/nuts and 1 muslin bag.
We recommend using an average of 5 berries per bag for a load of laundry.
5 berries = up to 10 laundry loads
25 berries = up to 50 laundry loads
Just toss 5 berries inside bag (pull strings to secure and do a single tie). Works best in warm and hot water. If you have soft water, you can use less berries.
When wash is finished remove bag from laundry and dry clothing like normal. (nuts will turn gray when all saponin is gone and can be recycled)
Enjoy your new green clean.
