Know before you buy
Deseeding the nuts makes them lighter and easier to handle during use. Removing the seeds ensures you are only using the shell, which contains the saponin responsible for the cleaning action.
Place a few soap nuts into a small cotton wash bag and toss it directly into the drum with your clothes. The agitation of the wash cycle releases the natural saponins, which act as a gentle, plant-based surfactant.
Yes, they are an excellent choice for sensitive skin. Because they are a natural, unscented plant product derived from the Sapindus species, they lack the harsh synthetic fragrances and chemicals found in many conventional detergents.
Yes, you can typically reuse the same soap nuts for 3 to 5 loads of laundry. Once the shells become thin, grey, or mushy, they have exhausted their cleaning power and can be composted.
While the soap nuts themselves are a natural plant product, they are processed in a facility that also handles peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, milk, soy, eggs, and sesame. If you have severe contact allergies, please take this cross-contamination risk into account.
