If you are using the bags to put the soapnuts in, and you have light colored laundry, you will sometimes see a brown soap mark where the bag is in your laundry after washing. This is because there is so much soap in the particular nuts that what you are seeing is a place where your laundry is touching the soapnuts bag, it will wash out but who wants to redo their laundry right? What I did is make a soapnuts “soak”, basically you make a detergent. I boil 4 cups of water in a small saucepan. Once it starts boiling, I turn off the light and throw in 6-8 soapnuts and put a top on the pan. I leave it for several hours or overnight. The next morning I strain the liquid into an old mason jar with a lid. Voila, laundry detergent, and it won’t leave marks on your clothes.

I find it sad that so many people who are selling soap nuts use these comment sections to promote their websites and products and not the environmental and personal benefits of using soap nuts as an alternative to synthetic and pertochemical based cleaning products.

In addition to the positive financial impact to the indigenous people where sapindus trees grow wild, the fact that harvest and packaging has zero carbon or fossil fuel consumption is very rarely noted.

For people who choose to live a chemical free life (as much as that is possible) natural choices like soap nuts allow us to improve the quality of our own lives, reduce pollution in the world beyond our front doors, protect our families and future generations for cellular anomalies caused by chemical toxicity, and since there is minimal packaging we also reduce the waste we produce and the need to expend fossil fuels to recycle packaging.

Soap nuts have such far reaching benefits many of which are still underestimated.

They have given me the opportunity to reduce the toxic chemicals in my home by 90 percent, reduce the waste our home produces by not buying packaged cleaners and detergents.

Using soap nuts has brought relief to members of my extended family and to friends who suffer from chemical sensitivity and has reduced our household expense by at least 20% immediately. Continued use of them will reduce our expenses more over time because our clothing will last longer, our appliances will last longer, and our health will no doubt continue as our systems detoxify.

Why don’t we all promote those aspects of soap nuts and try to think on a global scale for this generation and future generations?
