Soap Nuts Laundry Detergent

If you guys and gals have read my previous lenses, I have decided to become more green. I am working on being acknowledgable with my waste and work on providing a cleaner and safer alternatives to the everyday methods I use. One such method was laundry detergent and after switching to Seventh Generation's Eco-Friendly Laundry Detergent, I ran across Soap Nuts. I tried Soap Nuts and absolutely love it. It is an effective and environmentally safe alternative to traditional detergent.

Soap Nuts have been around for a very long time and people in the Himalayas have been using them for laundry for centuries. The "Western Cultures" are now finding out about Soap Nuts and I would like to help others find their way to this amazing eco-friendly laundry deteregent.

NaturOli makes 100% organic laundry deteregent from Soap Nuts and if you are looking for a great product that does not harm the environment, it is completely worth the try. You will not be disappointed.

What are Soap Nuts

Taken diretly from NaturOli Websites

type=textNaturOli Website I do not want to in anyway infringe so I pulled this information directly from NaturOli. They are very successful with their soap nuts and their websites is home to many environmentally safe cleaning products.

Soap nuts are known worldwide by many names such as soapnuts, soapberry, washing nuts, soap nut shells, wash shells, soapberry nut husk, Ritha (Hindi) nut shell, Chinese soapberry and many more. Very simply, soap nuts are the dried shells (or husks) from the soapberry (or soap berry nut). These berries are the fruit from a quite unique tree species. These shells contain a substance called saponin that produces a soaping effect. Saponin is a 100% natural alternative to chemical laundry detergent and cleansers. It can replace many chemical detergents such as those containing sodium laureth sulphate (SLS) that are becoming well known by consumers for being a skin irritant and health hazard.

The name Soap Nuts is misleading for it is the SHELL (not the seed) of the soap nut that contains and releases the saponins (soap) when it comes into contact with warm water. When you use soap nuts, you are using only the shell - not the whole nut. The harvesters have already removed the seed. The released saponins circulate as a natural surfactant in wash water reducing the surface tension of the water and freeing dirt, grime and oils from clothes. Very simply, the soap nuts act the same as chemical detergents - but are completely natural! It is technically incorrect to refer to Soap Nuts as soap given that they contain no glycerin. True soap does. Interestingly however, soap nuts also act as a natural fabric softener, reducing the need for softening additives and dryer sheets. We have not used a dyer sheet since converting to full use of Soap Nuts as our primary laundry detergent. The shells can also be converted very easily to powder and liquid forms (do it yourself or we can provide). Hence, Soap Nuts offer a plethora of other household cleaning solutions - all totally hypoallergenic and completely chemical-free!

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with Soap Nuts. They are a great alternative and people should be able to enjoy this wonderful product. Thry can be reusable and even composted when all the saponin is released. Amazon and Ebay have a variety of choices to choose from but get your NaturOli Soap Nuts today!
