Go Green With Soap Nuts
All of us have heard something about pollution and the depletion of the environment at some point in our lives. Even the media is constantly bringing up the topic of conservation of our environment and much emphasis is being laid on how every individual can contribute to saving our planet from contamination. One thing that all of us can do is to incorporate nature in our daily tasks like cleaning, bathing and laundry. We can prevent a ton of chemicals from going downour drains and becoming part of our future.
So how can we incorporate nature in our lives? Look no further, soap nuts are here! Soap nuts are small berry like fruits that grow in warm, tropical and sultry climates. They are native to India, Nepal and some other South Asian countries and consist of a small yellowish Brown fruit covered by a hard outer covering. It is the former that is mostly used in the various products that are now available in the market. The main ingredient in soap nuts is saponins which make them an excellent cleaning utility that can be used to clean almost everything ranging from clothes to dishes and regular household cleaning.
There are a number of ways in which soap nuts can be used to make our living greener, natural and more environmental friendly. Let look at the most popular way in which soap nuts can be made a part of our daily chores and eliminate the use of chemicals.
Washing Clothes
Soap nuts are excellent for dong your laundry without using chemical detergents. All you have to do is tie together 4 to 5 shells of soap nuts in a thin cloth like a muslin cloth and add it to the washing machine drum. This will take care of 4 to 5 loads of laundry. The advantages of using soap nuts as laundry detergents are:
 Fabric is soft after wash and no fabric softeners need be added separately
It leave the colors intact and fading does not occur after wash
It removes dirt and smell form the clothes leaving a neutral fragrance.
Soap nuts are ideal for people with allergies to chemical detergents and synthetic
perfumes, children’s clothes and pets. Using them in the laundry can actually decrease eczema and psoriasis.
What Most Folks Want To Know Is ? Will they save me money, or cost extra like most natural products do?
The anwser is in the numbers and the anwser is YES they will save you money. Lets take a look. Our half pound bag contains enough Soap Nuts for about 75-80 wash loads and includes 2 wash bags. Our half pound bag cost 16.99. That’s .21 cents per load. The average price for Tide is over .25 cents per load. Add in fabric softener or dryer sheets and the cost of Tide goes up to over .30 cents per load. Thus 80 loads of Tide plus fabric softener or dryer sheets would cost over $24. You save over $7.00 on one bag of Good Scents Soap Nuts. Plus with Soap Nuts your clothes will be softer and more absorbent than ever, which is amazing because you never have too use fabric softener or dryer sheets with Soap Nuts. So your clothes will last longer because Soap Nuts leave no residue in your clothes that makes them wear out faster saving you even more money.
Still Not Sure About Soap Nuts ? Here Are Some Anwsers To Frequently Ask Questions:
What are Soap Nuts?
They are actually not nuts at all. They are berries (also known as Soap Berries) that grow on trees in India & Nepal. There are two main varieties: sapindus trifoliatus (The Small Soap Nut) and sapindus mukorossi (The Large Soap Nut). The Large Soap Berry is the most commonly used in cleaning, but both varieties are quite effective.
How do They Work as a Detergent?
They contain large quantities of natural saponin in their shells. It acts as a natural, gentle detergent when it comes into contact with water. Without any chemicals, fragrances or dyes, they are safe and gentle for handwashing delicates. They are also tough enough for regular laundry. They will leave your clothes soft, clean and fragrance free. No need to use of fabric softeners.
Will They Clean Difficult Items?
Yes and No. They are one of the best detergents to get rid of bad odors. Musty towels and wash cloths, even cloth diapers,, come out smelling fresh and new. Stubborn stains, though, such as blood & red wine, require a stain remover to help the cleaning process. You can also use 1/2c. lemon juice or hydrogen peroxide to help brighten your white clothes.
What About My Allergies to soap?
Most allergic reactions to soap are due to added chemicals and fragrance. Soap Nuts grow on trees and are chemical free. When we began using them for our natural laundry detergent, the eczema which I had across my chest and belly cleared up. It has been gone now for over one year. Soap Nuts are 100% non-allergenic.
How do I use Them in my Laundry?
Toss 4 or 5 Nuts in a small muslin bag (provided with ALL orders) and throw it in with your laundry. (Make sure that you take them out before putting your clothes in the dryer THIS WAY THEY LAST LONGER). The nuts will do 4 or 5 loads.
Can They be used for More Than Just Laundry Detergent?
Yes. They can be used, in the liquid form, for cleaning just about anything. From dishwasher detergent, to window & glass cleaner, to repairing oily or dry hair. They are a great multi-purpose cleaner. (These other products coming soon !)
The End Product Still Goes Down the Drain. Does That Hurt the Environment?
No. Soap nuts are antimicrobial. This means that they actually help in breaking down the grey water in your septic system. Also, you do not have to do a rinse cycle when you use them. This can save gallons of water every wash cycle. Don’t worry, though; if you forget to stop your machine before the rinse cycle they are just as effective. The amount of saponin left in the rinse cycle will just leave your clothes feeling soft. They are 100% ENVIROMENTALLY FRIENDLY.
