Soap nuts are the fruit of the Ritha tree found primarily in Nepal. |
The shell contains "saponin" which is known for it's ability to clean and wash. |
Place 5-6 soap nuts into cotton sack and soak in warm water for 10 minutes. |
Place in washing machine with soiled clothes. You can use the same nuts up to 3 times. |
Hang clean clothes on the line for 100% natural laundry |
You have blown me away with this post!! How absolutely fantastic!!! This is something I am very interested in due to my son's sensitive skin and allergies....where do you find these??? Inspiring!!!
ReplyDeleteI also suffer from sensitive skin. Normally, I make my own liquid laundry detergent. I don't use fabric softer or any thing with "perfume". Only essential oils. My sister gave these to me for Christmas, however you can order them online. Sometimes a natural grocer may carry them. They worked quite well and I just love that I can put them in the compost when I'm through.
