Soapnut Shells, 500G
Soapnut shells are the dried fruit of the Sapindus Mukorossi tree, grown in India. The shells contain saponin — a natural surfactant that releases when they come into contact with water and acts as a gentle, effective detergent. The 500g size washes up to 190 loads of laundry or dishes and includes 1 cotton wash bag.
Place 6 to 8 shells in the included muslin bag and add it to your washing machine. Each bag of shells can be reused for approximately 6 washes before the shells go soft, at which point they are home-compostable. Works in all machine types and temperatures. pH 4-6 — gentle on fabrics and hypoallergenic. Packaged in a compostable and recyclable cardboard box.

I've been using for about 3 years. Amazing how much soap is in the nuts. So many washes out a bag. Wouldn't consider a chemical alternative at all.
This 500g box washes up to 190 loads of laundry or dishes, and includes 1 cotton wash bag.
They're the dried fruit of the Sapindus Mukorossi (Ritha) tree, grown in India, containing a natural surfactant called saponin.
Yes, because soapnuts are chemical-free, they're a good choice for washing children's clothing and cloth nappies, as well as for people with sensitive skin.
Yes, they work at all water temperatures and in both front and top loading washing machines, though they release more saponin in warmer water.
Each batch of shells can typically be reused 4 to 6 times before they become soft and spent, at which point they're ready to be composted.
