Soapnut Shells, 1KG

Oh how I love using soapnuts and a few drops of teatree oil. We have been using them for a couple of years now and was first introduced to them when washing cloth nappies. They get everything clean from my husbands panelbeating clothes to kids messy clothes. Just converted another family to using them yesterday and thought I would let everyone know how much I love them.... even use them in campground washing machines.

I've just realised that the 1kg bag of soapnuts I purchased has lasted me TWO YEARS! A great product - soft, clean clothes and fantastic value for money....

I've heard heaps of positive and negative reviews of soap nuts before trying them myself. Being rather sceptical i still decided to give it a try once i saw this web page (just loved design, information provided and very fair prices).

Delivery was very quick, and can you imagine, free.
I couldn't wait to test the same evening and washed my bed linen (just got some fat spots from dogs bringing their food - yak), a silk night gown and a white and black dress with old yellow spots from last year. I sincerely didn't expect much especially from the dress with old yellow spots. Can you imagine my surprise when all the dirt and fat was gone completely after 1 wash in the front load washing machine! Yellow spots disappeared completely!

I added exactly nothing to the machine except of soap nuts, used temperature of 30C. Used around 10 nuts.
A good hint provided on the web page is to break shells into small pieces. Other resources somehow didn't say about it.

Clothes was left soft, with no smell. Perfect!

Now I'm on my way to start doing my own shampoo from soap nuts, exciting!
