What Do They Do?

They are a natural laundry detergent that is literally grown on trees. The soapnut shells contain Saponins which on contact with water release mild suds and can be used as an environmentally friendly alternative to Laundry detergent in washing machines

History

Soap nuts are sometimes known as soap berries and are members of the Sapindus genus. In India and Nepal they have been used as a washing detergent for hundreds of years. The species used is the Sapindus mukorossi. They are great for the modern day thinking person that considers the future of the planet. They are actually very effective and can save you money compared to supermarket bought washing powder.

Where do Soap Nuts Come From?

Soap nuts are harvested in October and when removed from the tree the soap nuts are sticky and golden in colour. They are then dried where their colour becomes reddish-brown.

The nuts get cracked and the black kernel removed. It is the shell which contains the saponin (a natural detergent). The kernel cannot be eaten nor used for washing. The shells are then packed up in cotton bags and sent the UK.

How do Soap Nuts work?

The saponin in the shells is sticky and acts similar to normal soap. When the shell gets in contact with water, the natural saponin soap is released and creates mild suds.

We recommend placing 4 to 5 half shells in one of the provided cotton bags and place with your laundry in the washing machine. You can start your machine as you normally would, with or without pre-wash.

Unlike common washing powders and liquids that contain significant levels of chemicals, the soap nuts are environmental friendly and gentle on the skin. The remains of the soap nuts can be composted or be disposed of through organic refuse.

Tips with using Soap Nuts:

There is not a need for fabric softeners

They work very well with delicate fabrics

If they are washed in cold to warm water, the soap nuts can be used for a second time the same day

We recommend adding one tablespoon of stain remover in the case of heavy stains!

Why not add your favourite essential oil for a more fragrant wash.

I have been using soapnuts for just over a month now and my son's itchy skin has all but cleared up. Our laundry is softer without any additives and no nasty chemical smells. I do spot treat stains as I have found some marks don't come out with soapnuts. Just ordered a 2nd bag to make the most of the discounted selling price they arrived this morning very quick delivery from Salveo. Thank you.

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.

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!

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!

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.

Swapped to using soapnuts 18 months ago when my son had a very bad case of eczema. Don't know whether washing powder was causing it or not but great to be able to eliminate all those chemicals and still get the laundry clean. Also very environment friendly-we compost all the used shells! certainly saved us money too and Salveo soapnuts are of a very high quality ((Originally posted : 18/07/2009)

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!
