LOVE them. SO simple and so many advantages over regular laundry soap. I am not going to reinvent the wheel and go into detail, for that go here. I am pretty excited about not hauling home heavy bottles anymore and you simply can't beat the cost. For $29.99 you can do 150 to 175 loads of laundry using soapnuts. I did a little comparison shopping on Drugstore.com to get an actual idea of what various laundry soap costs;
Method, 64 loads=$21.99
Arm & Hammer, 32 loads=$9.49
Tide, 26 loads=$13.99
Gain, 24 loads=$10.99
Seventh Generation, 32 loads=$10.79
Soapnuts come to my door and can be composted when they are finished. No, I am not presently composting but I'm pretty sure to get there soon and in the meantime I will chuck my used soapnuts in the way way back of my backyard.
Disclaimer: Please consider my review with this in mind: I do not buy white clothing. If I am given white clothing I do not care if it turns colors. I am not bothered much by stains on my kids clothes, I wash all of my laundry together. If you have many delicate laundry items or are worried about stains and keeping whites really white this may not be the product for you.

i'm totally trying these- thanks for the information! i've been using method, but it's getting pricey. these sound great- yay!! (and i like that they're called soapnuts- that's just fun!)
ReplyDeleteI impressed Greta...Your washing your laundry with nuts?!?! Wanna clean your toilet naturally too? Put in a little baking soda followed by a little vinegar. Scrub with your toilet brush while it fizzes. We used to do that when I was growing up. It works!! Love you, Sarah.
