Organic soapnuts are good alternative to toxic laundry detergents

Soapnuts are a natural, 100% nontoxic way to wash your clothes.

soapnutsOne of the headaches that I came across when detoxifying my home was finding a healthier, non-toxic laundry soap.  Even the “green” ones that are out there today do not often tell you exactly what is in them, and they often times still contain perfume or fragrance.  We all know the amount of chemicals that labels can hide.

So when I came across Soap Nuts, I was quite excited.  Yet, I was a little confused as well.  How is this nut suppose to wash my laundry?  I realized that I have fallen into the conditioning that tells me I need all these fancy things in my laundry soap to create clean clothes!  This could not be further from the truth.

Then I was even more confused when I realized that this was not even a nut but really a fruit.  This fruit has a substance in its shell called saponin.  This 100% natural substance really is brilliant at cleaning your laundry.

All you do is put a few of the nuts or fruit in a small washing bag and put it in with your laundry and you have clean clothes!  It is even unscented! Or you can always add a few drops of your favorite essential oils.

So really no reason to be confused!  Soap Nuts even has a 100% money back guarantee so there is no reason not to try something so brilliant and so simple!

    Hi Amy, this sounds really interesting, especially since I tend to be sensitive to unnatural detergents. Do the soap nuts really do a good job of cleaning the clothes and leaving them smelling fresh?
