You want to do your laundry cheaply and eco-friendly! Try the nuts soap to wash your clothes!
There is a simple alternative to chemical washing powders and detergents: Nut soap. They can be used for the washing of your white or coloured clothes and even for the delicate clothes. It is equally good for people with a very sensitive or allergy-prone skin.
But where does this magical nut come from? It comes from the Soapnut tree that grows mostly in India and Nepal. The shell of this fruit contains an ingredient called “saponine”, a natural soap that, with the contact of water, dissolves and releases a powerful soap.
These soapods can be re-used, it’s eco-friendly AND economic ! 1kg of nuts (+/-£12) enables a family of four to do 1 year of washing! Interesting, isn’t it?
Let’s see where you can buy it :
Amazon.co.uk, Nigelsecostore, Goodnessdirect.co.uk
