What are soap nuts? Soap Nuts are the fruit of the Chinese Soap Berry Tree. These
amazing berries are harvested and then dried in the sun. No chemicals
of any kind are added. They are an all natural, totally organic, laundry
detergent. They contain a natural soap called saponin. Saponin
has cleaning abilities equal to toxic chemical detergents. Soap Nuts are
extremely hypo-allergenic and can be used by people who are allergic to
all other detergents. They are completely green and don't pollute our
planet. Soap Nuts are the best thing in the world for cloth diapers.
Will they save me money, or cost extra like most green products? This
1 Kilogram bag (1 kilogram equals 1000 grams or 2.2 lbs or 35.274
ounces) contains enough Soap Nuts for about 330 wash loads and includes 3 wash bags.
This bag costs $27.95. That's
about 8 cents per load. The average price for Tide is over 20 cents per
load. Add in fabric softener or dryer sheets and the cost of Tide goes
up to over 25 cents per load. 330 loads of Tide plus fabric softener or
dryer sheets would cost over $80.00. You save over $53.00 on one bag of
Green Virgin Soap Nuts.
How do I use them? Just
place 3 to 5 whole soap nuts in the included drawstring wash bag and
toss it into the washer with your clothes. Even after shipping almost
all of your soap nuts will be whole when you receive them. We recommend
breaking them in half before you put them in the draw string wash bag so
water can circulate freely through the inside of the shell so they can
release their saponin easier. Soap nuts work equally well in top loaders
or the newer HE front loaders. With the front loader you will get more
washes out of your soap nuts than with a top loader. With a top loader
expect about 5 wash loads using the same soap nuts. With a front loader
HE machine you can expect about 7 wash loads. The best way to tell if
your soap nuts are used up is to put your used soap nuts in a jar with a
lid with a few ounces of water and shake them up. If you get suds, you
can get another load out of them. pour the sudsy water in the washer and toss them in for another
load. Remember that the hardness of water has an effect on all cleaning
products. Water hardness and other factors are different all across the
country. So start with our recommendations and then experiment. Try
using fewer soap nuts, then more and see what works best in your area.
Even if you get it wrong they still work great. Your just trying to
maximize your consumption of soap nuts. Your clothes will come out
smelling amazingly fresh like you hung them outside on a clear spring
day. Plus, your clothes will be softer and more absorbent than ever,
which is amazing because you never use fabric softener or dryer sheets
with Soap Nuts. Soap Nuts are equal to Tide in cleaning ability. So
continue to use bleach (bleach is toxic) or we recommend hydrogen
peroxide or OxyClean for whites, and pre spotters etc.
What is the quality of Green Virgin Products Soap Nuts? Green
Virgin Products Soap Nuts are sealed in a biodegradable plastic bag, at
the precise moment when they reach the peak of perfection. This is an
important distinction as some sellers don't have their soap nuts cleaned
and packaged in India so they are exposed to the elements during the
long ship ride the the USA. This can take a month or two at sea where
the soap nuts will be absorbing the salt sea spray and any humidity in
the air. They will be in hot or very cold temperatures and they will be
absorbing moisture or getting very dried out. They can become
contaminated with bacteria or mold due to the moisture where as ours are
sealed in plastic and are unaffected by the sea voyage. We sell only
the highest quality Sapindus Mukorossi soap nuts available in the world.
We import Green Virgin Soap nuts from the best growers in India in the Foothills of the Himalayan mountains. Labor
is far less expensive in India and Nepal so our soap nuts are harvested,
dried, hand sorted, cleaned, packaged and labeled there and we pass the savings on to you. We buy our
soap nuts from a company in India that has been in business for over 100
years and does over one billion dollars a year in sales. That's why we
can boast the highest quality and the lowest price. Remember soap nuts
are basically produce. Produce is not like a car where a higher price
usually means higher quality. But with soap nuts, a higher price just
means they are trying to make more profit than we are or they didn't buy
them as smart as we did. You might be able to find soap nuts as good as
ours, but better soap nuts are not available at any price, period.
What health hazards can I help avoid by using Soap Nuts? Chemical laundry detergents, fabric softeners and dryer sheets should be avoided at all cost. These products
contain chemicals classified under federal law as carcinogens, toxic
and hazardous. Some are on the EPA hazardous waste list. The list of
health hazards associated with the chemicals in laundry products is
staggering and extremely serious. The list includes cancer, central
nervous system depressant, kidney damage, headache, nausea, dizziness,
confusion, twitching muscles, convulsions, fatigue, liver damage, birth
defects, Alzheimer disease, sudden infant death syndrome, reproductive problems and many
more. For proof of this, just Google "laundry detergent health hazards". What you learn, will make you angry.
