What are Soap Nuts?
--------------------------------
Technically soap nuts are more a fruit than a nut which act as an all-natural alternative to laundry detergent. The fruit grows on trees in Asian countries like Nepal and India where they have been used as a washing detergent for thousands of years.
Each soap nut contains naturally occurring saponins. When mixed with water Soap nuts have the power to wash away all dirt, grime and stains whilst remaining gentle on your clothes. You can get further information here: https://www.soapnuts.co.uk/collections/soapnuts
How to Use Soap Nuts for Washing Clothes

For hard water areas you should use 7 nuts
(You can add a few drops of essential oils to the bag if you wish to add a nice fragrance to the wash.)
2. Place your clothes in the washing machine and insert the soap but on top.
3. Close washing machine, set to required washing machine and let the washing cycle commence
4. When the washing cycle has ended remove clothes from the machine and also remove the bag of soap nuts and allow to dry.
