Special Offer While Stocks Last! - 1Kg Bag of Soapnuts for Only £11.95! SAVE £5.04! Soap Nuts are washing detergent that grows on trees - Used for Millennia, now rediscovered for the modern world. Soap nuts are mild and soft cleansing for your washing machine The advantages of soapnuts in a nutshell:
In India and Nepal, the soapnut (sapindus trifoliatus) has been used as a vegetable washing detergent since time immemorial. The up to 15 metres high soap nut tree grows mainly in South India. In March and April, the tree is adorned with white flowers, and the ripe soapnuts are harvested in October. When removed from the tree the soapnuts are sticky and golden in colour. They are dried and their colour becomes reddish-brown. Then the nuts are cracked and the black kernel, which can neither be eaten nor used for washing is removed and the shell, which contain saponine (a natural detergent), are packed up in cotton bags. How does it work? The somewhat sticky saponine in the shells of the soap nuts acts similar to normal soap. As soon as the shells get in contact with water, this natural saponine soap is released and creates mild suds. Place 4 to 5 half shells in one of the provided cotton bags. Tie the bag and place it with your laundry in the washing machine. Start your machine as usual, with or without pre-wash. The remains of the soapnuts can be composted or be disposed of through organic refuse. The soap nut can be easily used in your washing machine. Unlike common washing powders and liquids that contain considerable amounts of chemicals, the soapnut is environmental friendly and is gentle of the skin. Used for all fabrics and with all temperatures. Tips:

 katie : i heard about 'soapnuts' from a tv programme. i would recommend them to anyone. i have to young children and they stain their clothes, chocalate juice etc. but the very heavy stains such as pasta sauce use a little stain remover needed, i also found clothes and towel especially are left soft when dryed on raditor or on line wash powder leaves them hard and rough. Date : 02/05/2008 Kay Fisher : I have quickly become evangelical about this product and recommend it to everyone. Clean, soft laundry, no perfume, and no fabric softener needed. Extremely economical and no animal testing to feel guilty about. Thank you very much! Date : 10/11/2007 Buddle Mansfield-San : I was really pleasantly surprised! Not only did the first wash come out clean and soft, but the second load too. As stated, for heavily soiled was, one must add a bit of stain remover, but otherwise I am impressed! Date : 30/04/2007 Ann : I found the nuts had a smell of vinegar but when used had no smell at all. Washed well and clothes were as clean as when I use my normal soap. Date : 09/01/2007 susan stephenson : Used free sample for childrens' muddy clothes and machineloads of cotton nappies, and am happy that they do just as good a job as the ecover/tesco liquid and other brands I had been using. The thing I love is that they leave no smell! - the laundry just smells of laundry, not of any chemical scent,- pine, meadow fresh or whatever else! cost? - Will review again after trying 1kg bag!
