Did you know you can wash your laundry with soap nuts?
My introduction to soap nuts
WOW. Now I really know nature has it all. I’d never heard of these clean as a whistle little munchkins until I attended a soapmaking class. The information shared was AMAZING. Afterwards, people lined up for ages to purchase soap setting boxes, natural ingredients to make soap with…AND the best thing ever! SOAPNUTS. They look delicious don’t they, & yet they are, SOAP?? Yes. Soap, in a nutshell! I’m still wowed out that these grow on trees (actually they are soap berries or Sapindus mukorossi) Anyway… All you do is boil 6 of them up in half a liter of water for 20 minutes & you have your very own, liquid soap. Strain before filling a pump ‘foaming’ bottle & keep near the kitchen sink, bathroom vanity or laundry to wash your hands without chemicals!
Isn’t that simply 100% genius from mother earth? I think I’ll add a little essential oil to mine…& apparently, you need to use it up within two weeks. That’s because there’s no nasties!!!! No evil preservatives. MMMM I like this soap.
Here is a little video for you to get an idea what you can do with soap nuts:
