Our soapnuts are the dried fruit from the Ritha (sapindus mukorossi) tree. There are other types of trees that produce a poorer grade of soapnuts. The ones we offer contain very high amounts of saponin. Saponin is the substance which gives the soapnuts their cleaning power.

We believe that once you have tried using soapnuts, you will never want to go back to chemical detergents. There is no need to use fabric softeners either. Your clothes are left naturally soft. Towels and wash cloths are more absorbent.

Did you know that once used, soapnuts break down completely leaving no toxic chemical residue behind? You can throw the used shells in the compost.

Soapnuts are ready to use with no chemical processing! Straight off the tree they can be used for laundry. They can be boiled to make an all purpose natural liquid cleaner. This can be used for household cleaning or for a body wash and "shampoo". Soapnuts are great for anyone with chemical allergies or sensitive skin.

The 100g size contains approximately 30-33 soapnuts and allows you to wash approximately 30 loads of laundry (using 4-5 soapnuts at a time and re-using these soapnuts for 4 loads of laundry). Alternatively, it yields approximately 4 litres of soapnuts liquid which allows you to wash approximately 160 loads of laundry (using 2 Tbsp of soapnut liquid per load).

Don't want to use your soapnuts for laundry ... why not clean your windows, wash your pet, or make some shampoo? There are numerous ways to use your soapnuts!

The 100g size includes: 1 muslin wash bag
