NaturOli Soap Nuts / Soap Berries

Another product that Refreshing the Home can really get behind! This is the best eco-friendly laundry soap we have found. Soap nuts are dried shells of the soapberry fruit. They contain saponin which is a cleaning agent. These berries "have been used for ages in personal hygiene, hair care & multi-purpose cleaning."

NaturOli Soap Nuts / Soap Berries. - ONE POUND! - "Select" seedless USDA ORGANIC!

We have been using this for about a month now and are very pleased with the results. You are not going to get the suds like you see in your chemical based products but the end result is better than any organic product we have used in the past. The laundry comes out clean and fresh smelling and we are finding this very cost effective.  Just like any other organic laundry soap you will still need to pre-treat your stains. I use Biokleen Bac-Out w/Foaming Action Sprayer 32 oz. as a stain lifter.

Quote from Amazon:

"PRESS RELEASES: LOS ANGELES, CA - MAY 19, 2012: NaturOli Soap Nuts selected by LA Times as a "Top 4" gray-water safe detergent! Plus tied for #1 for lowest cost per load! ------ PEORIA, AZ - AUGUST 7, 2011: NaturOli has been honored by "Organic Spa Magazine" for its selection as a "2011 Leading Personal Care Company" in the natural & organic marketplace."

These are very easy to use:

• Add 5 or 6 berries to a Extra-heavy-duty Muslin Wash Bag (about a 1/2 oz)
• Toss in your washer with your load of laundry
• Reuse up to 8 times... We have a small white board and add a hash mark for every load to keep track.
• Dry as usual
