Soapnut Shells, 1KG

I have been using the soap nuts in their bag to do the laundry and also boiled up a batch with water to use as dish soap, multi surface cleaner and bathroom cleaner. Seems to work well for all these jobs plus it leaves stainless steel very shinny!

On top of laundry, I brew soapnut liquid by the litre to use as handwash, shower bodywash, and kitchen cleaner. Last year I gave up deodorant. After months of no comments, I checked with my husband: he'd noticed no BO at all. My skin obviously prefers gently cleaned to stripped bare! Would you clean the outside of your house with a waterblaster every day?

As shampoo, give your scalp a month to adjust. It doesn't give you "glossy silk" like a petrochemical one, but my scalp is vastly healthier. I combine grapefruit, geranium and rose oils for extra scent.
Consumer NZ recently rated sopanuts poorly versus standard laundry detergent. Unfortunately, it was an unequal test: all the test samples were greasy stains, not everyday cleaning. (I always use Soapnut Store’s soap stick for greasy spots.)My husband complains our laundry doesn't smell “clean", but he means "highly perfumed". But raspberries to him - he always uses my liquid on our kitchen stainless!
