- Environmentally Friendly Washing Detergent

A washing detergent that grows on trees…literally - soapnuts are an environmentally friendly sustainably produced, compostable way of cleaning your laundry.

Grown wild in India, for centuries these nuts (sapindus mukorossi) have been used for many purposes but are most widely recognised as being an effective and environmentally friendly natural detergent.

The nuts contain the active natural washing ingredient saponin. Similar to soap, when the shells of the soapnut come in contact with water the saponin is released and suds are produced - these are excellent for cleaning laundry and leaving it beautifully soft.

Just pop 6-8 shells into a cotton bag (provided) and place in your washing machine.
They clean effectively however will not fragrance your laundry. If you prefer a fragrance use a couple of drops of essential oils either directly onto the nuts or in the dispenser drawer (front load).
