I’ve used soap nuts for over 10 years and bought from lots of different suppliers. these are perfectly good soap nuts they don’t have many seeds as far as I can tell (cheaper lower quality products often include more seeds that increase the dold weight don’t benefit the washing process at all). Like all soap nuts I’m happy with the cleaning power, the naturalness of the scent and ability to compost the used shells. I’d be happy to order from this seller again.

I have had these for a couple of weeks now. Very quickly I decided that a few nuts in the little bag was not going to work for me - kept losing the bag in the washing. Today I decided to see just how versatile and easy to use they are. I took 30 soap nuts. I would say that that was about 100g, so at current prices £1.09 worth. I poured approx 1 litre of boiling water on them and then 'cooked' them in the microwave for 5 minutes. I had seen that it is recommended that you boil on stove for 15 minutes, but it was fine. Be careful - it may boil over - then you are able to clean your microwave! I drained off the liquid and mixed it with 2 teaspoons of xanthan gum, juice and pulp of 2 lemons and about 50 ml of glycerine. I used a hand blender and the resultant mixture was thick and sand coloured. I think that it smells pleasant - it is a little like pineapple but not so sweet and fruity. This is an excellent handwash, shower gel, shampoo. It will not keep for long so I do not recommend making this much - I mixed it with a handwash I already had that was too runny so it has thickened it up. Do not expect lots of foam out of it but it is a VERY effective cleaner. Then I poured boiling water on the soap nuts another 5 times and left it to steep for at least half an hour each time. 4 times I did a load in the washing machine and poured the liquid in the soap powder dispenser. The clothes went in lightly soiled and came out as I would expect. I always use washing soda as I live in a hard water area. The 5th time I handblended the soap nuts. It was a very foamy mixture. I strained it, the pulp I put in the large cotton bag that the soap nuts originally came in and will put it in another wash tomorrow. The liquid I will also use for another wash. The foam I used to clean the sinks and the bath. There was a yoghurt pot full of it. So for 100g of soap nuts I was able to do 6 loads of washing, make a litre of handwash ( with just a few other ingredients) and get 100ml of foam which I could have washed just about anything with (I think that it would probably be good on carpets). If I hadn't made the handwash I expect I would have done another 4 washes at least. It has surpassed expectations as a product. Do not only use them once - as it says on the bag! If they still look quite shiny and date coloured they still have plenty of soap in them. I definitely prefer the steeping method to put in the washing machine. I would definitely recommend you do what I did to get the most out of them. I expect to replacing most cleaning products with these in the next few weeks. UPDATE: I am still happy with the soap nuts, using them every day one way or another, but I have to add this important piece of info. The soap nuts sometimes contain a very hard seed - about the size of a small marble, and almost as tough. This has resulted in me ruining my hand blender - I thought that I had fished all the seeds out, but missed one and now my blender makes the most horrible noise during use. Citric acid is the best preservative I have found for soap nut mixture - whether as a handwash, laundry or washing up liquid. It has the added advantage of being a natural de-scaler, so particularly good in the washing machine.

Excellent for laundry washes for whites and fir coloured clothes and linens. It's also perfect for delicate knitted clothes such as wool, cashmere and also for silk. I started using it the day it arrived, to see if it really works. Surorisingly it did what it says it does and I'm very satisfied of the product. In terms of the scent, well, the clothes newly washed will take the smell of the washing machine. But after 10 minutes or so in contact with the air, the clothes will smell fresh and clean. No odour of any sort. I used 4 halves and placed it in tge muslin bag to test my color clothes, it was 4 blouses and 4 underwears. It came out perfectly clean and soft. For white linens I added other 4 halves to the previous that I used for the colored clothes and tge result is also excellent. I had been using the same bag of 8 half nuts for the other 3 washings left and and the nuts are still foamy, ready for my next week's washing. On hard stain though, you still have to treat it with stain remover. Overall, I am 100% happy with this product. It saves money as it perfectly cleanse and soften my laundry, and I don't need to buy another product for delicate wool, cashmere or silk sweaters and cardigans. It's environment friendly as it's natural. I believe it is slso excellent for baby clothes as it's chemical free. I will update again in regard to using it as a body wash.

Using one or two soapnuts for each wash, the bag last several months. I use them for dark laundry. Perfect outcome, great for the environment, and inexpensive!!!!

This is a great product that I happen to discover by chance and now wish I knew about and used years before. Let me say right from the get-go, absolutely go for it, there really is no downside to using these wonderful shells. They have a number of advantages to them including the fact that they are truly environmentally friendly - you just put them in your green bin after you have washed with them and this is very important taking in consideration how much water we use with every washing we run. They are very economical as well, because you only need about 5-6 half shells per 4-5 kg. washing load and they work absolutely spot on. They are the size of hazelnuts, so you can imagine for yourselves how many shells you get for that 1.kg. bag that you are buying and how many washes you can get out of these shells. I have never tried using them more than once, because I like to follow the instructions, after all they were written by people who knew what they were on about, and also because I feel I have so many I absolutely have no reason to be mocking about with them and trying to reuse them. The shells work on all types of clothing - from the most delicate silks to the blankets, I have tried them on everything, and I have never regretted putting them in. They leave the clothes smelling really lovely and they really have that "natural" feel to them, like you know you haven't used any chemicals to get your clothes clean. As of yet I have not had a stain that the shells have been unable to remove - I have even had them wash out tomatoes on a white shirt, so really no complaints in this department either. Overall, I would say this is one of the greatest discoveries I have recently made, definitely worth the money for me and definitely I will be a returning customer and am I sure if you tried the shells you would be too!

Soap nuts are what they are. Natural nuts, that contain a small amount of saponins (soap). It's enough to wash your clothes to a hygenic level, but you need to understand the basics of getting clothes clean to appreciate them. The act of mechanical movement i.e. in a washing machine, combined with warm water does most of the work of removing the dirt from the garments. Saponins (soap) just break up the surface tension between the water and the dirt, allowing the mechanical movement to more easily remove it. That applies to all washing soaps/liquids. Modern day detergents are better at removing dirt to a point because of all the additives, but pre-treatment of stains is the key in any case. As a student I used to use Persil etc and never get stains out of my clothes and could never figure out why my mum was able. Because she spent hours every week pretreating my stains! So with pretreatment, which often (not always) involves soaking and scrubbing a stain with normal soap as soon as it occurs, these soap nuts bring out clean clothes. I add lavender oil to the dispenser if I want a slight fragrance, and occasionally white distilled vinegar as a softener. My t-towels, have some stains that I live with, the soapnuts don't produce a foam, and my clothes don't wreak of fragrance, but they are clean visually and hygienically. But there genuinely are saponins in the nuts. It's a price I'm willing to pay for a cheap, natural and more importantly simple product. You pop 3 or 4 in a tied up sock and throw in with the washing. My dad now uses them, not because they are natural, but because they're so simple. After a few washes you simply compost them. The only downside is they are shipped from India, but all things considered, shipping masses of these on cargo ships is a drop in the ocean compared to all the other resources we consume in our day to day lives, and must surely use far less oil than the petrochemical based detergents that most householders use.

Clothes smell. Try ecover.

Excellent product, clothes come out clean and fresh will buy again

Hubby and I share the laundry duty and we have fallen in love with these soap nuts. We were looking for eco friendly, cost effective, ways to clean our clothes that was still ok for our daughter with eczema. These are a perfect fit! I was concerned that my clothes would have an unpleasant smell but they smell pleasant without having an smell. Weird but true! I HATE plastic and I love this for the no plastic alone! We put 5 in one of the little bags and use it 7 times, then we add 5 more, without throwing away the older soap nuts. The price on these was great and that is why we chose this brand.

Tipiche noci indiane, molto forti e naturali. Il prezzo è quello di mercato. Contrariamente a quello che viene spiegato e detto NON vanno usate nel sacchettino, che rimane nel cestello e continua a emettere saponine, e se esce può macchiare la biancheria. Io uso come misurino un bicchiere di plastica da 250 ml e lo riempio con un pugnetto di noci che metto in 1lt di acqua. Lasciare bollire chiuse con coperchio a fiamma bassa dopo il bollore, (Usare pentola alta e stare attenti perchè la schiuma bollendo può fuoriuscire dalla pentola) per ca 20 minuti. poi quando sono fredde filtrare in una bottiglia e con ad esempio uno schiacciapatate schiacciare le noci per fare uscire tutte le saponine possibili. Mettere in una bottiglia chiusa da tenere in frigo data la conservazione limitata, al limite farne per la settimana o 15/20gg gg. Guardare nella macchina quanta schiuma fa per capire la dose da usare a seconda della temperatura e il tipo di bucato come un qualsiasi detersivo. Aggiungere aceto (fino a 1/2 lt) al 1 risciacquo per rimuovere totalmente le saponine. Può essere usato anche per i piatti o per qualsiasi altra cosa da sgrassare ed è MOLTO efficace. e forte. Consiglio a tutti per sostituire i normali detersivi chimici che poi portiamo sulla pelle o rimane nei piatti in cui mangiamo. Consiglio a tutti nell'uso che ho spiegato e che viene usato nei paesi di origine. Consegna veloce imballo sigillato ottimo.

Bei einem solchen Produkt erwartet man Abstriche beim Waschergebniss. Das ist aber nicht der Fall - die Waschergebbnisse sind nicht schlechtert als bei chemischen Waschmitteln. Die Wäsche duftet auch nicht schlecht, sondern neutral. Auf den "Frische Wäsche"-Duft muss man also verzichten, was aber für Alergiker eher ein Pluspunkt ist. Einziger Nachteil sit, das weiße Wäsche mit der Zeit vergilbt. Weißes sollte man also immer mal wieder mit normalen Waschmittel waschen. Ein Tipp: Wenn man die Nuss-Schalenhäften im Säckchen direkt in die Wäsche gibt, werden beim ersten Waschen nicht alle waschaktiven Substanzen herausgespült. Ich empfehle, die Schalen etwas zu zerkleinern. Hierzu einfach mit der Faust auf die im Säckchen verpackten Schalen schlagen. Dann entstehen kleine Krümel, die wesentlich leichter ausgelaugt werden. Auch einweichen ist hilfreich, vor allem bei niedrigeren Waschtemperaturen (30°C bis 40°C). Hierzu das Säckchen mit den zerkrümelten Schalen in ein Glas legen, und mit Wasser auffüllen, bis das Säckchen mit Wasser bedeckt ist. Mindestens eine Stunde stehen lassen. Dieses Glas dann einfach unmittelbar vor dem Waschen über der Wäsche entleeren und dann alles in die Waschmaschien geben.
