Soap Nuts are Mother Nature's gift - 100% natural laundry soap. A safe, hypoallergenic, biodegradable alternative to harmful chemicals. If you suffer from allergies, sensitive skin, or want to do your part for a greener earth, Soap Nuts are a dream come true.

Soap Nuts are dried shells of the soapberry (a fruit) containing saponin (an EXTREMELY effective cleaning agent) that produces the soaping effect. Saponin works like most detergents & soaps WITH NO CHEMICALS! They have been used for ages in personal hygiene, hair care & multi-purpose cleaning. Easily converted to powder or liquid. Common to Asia, but only recently rediscovered in US & CA. NaturOli Soap Nuts are selected for optimal quality & guaranteed to be of the highest grade & effectiveness. Only de-seeded, sorted, wild harvested Sapindus Mukorossi soap berries - the most prized & valued variety.

ULTRA SIMPLE TO USE:
- Put 5-6 shells (~1/2 oz) in wash bag.
- Toss directly in washer with laundry. Don't overstuff loads!
- Reuse 4 - 7 times.

Wash bag(s) + full 8-pg info & instructions included. One wash bag per lb. or min. one per order.

Number of loads vary due to water temperature, hardness, washer type, cycle selection, etc. Est. loads are based on 1/2 oz per medium sized loads. HE washers typically yield more loads. May use with traditional cleaning boosters as desired.

Tip: Start fresh! Run a couple warm or hot loads with rags or such to help purge washer of residual chemical buildup.

One of the previous reviews I felt was totally uncalled for since it appears that the person making the comment has never used this product. I am a consumer and recently heard about these soap nuts. I became very curious and found this sample pack. I received this promptly after ordering and immediatley started using them. I am so impressed! I am very much considering switching to these. From all the research I've done, I feel that I will save quite a bit of money. The product worked very well, left my clothes clean and scent free, and I didn't have to use a fabric softner. I encourage anyone to try these. Yes, there may be other companies out there selling soap nuts, but this happens to be the one I chose and the company sells a high quality product that works!

My sister recommended soap nuts to me as a detergent alternative for when I begin cloth diapering my baby. She uses Maggie's soap nuts, but based on the reviews about quality control, I decided to try the NaturOli sample pack. We had just purchased a big bottle of Tide but had not opened it yet, and the sample pack came in time for our weekly laundry.

The nuts came in the little muslin bag. They look just like the nuts in the photo - medium brown and clean. They are soft shells, not nuts like a walnut. I followed the instructions and threw the bag with the 5 little nuts into my front-loading washer. I didn't stand around and wait to see if suds would form, but when the load was finished, I was very happy to find clean clothes with no fragrance or odor. Even stinky underwear came out smelling like...well, nothing. I am accustomed to detergents and fabric softeners with some sort of fragrance, but now that I understand those are really chemicals I am smelling, I was happy to know that no fragrance or stink meant the soap nuts worked.

I washed 7 loads of laundry with this little bag, the last load being my dog's blanket. Still no odor (and my dog had needed a bath, so the blankets were ripe!)

These soap nuts do not do a good job of getting out any sort of stains, so I'll have to find a way to pretreat any stained clothing. Also, at one point I couldn't find the little bag because it got caught in my laundry, but I did eventually find it. But as far as cleaning my laundry, I think the soap nuts did an awesome job!

I was going to buy the 1/4lb package, but I liked them so much that I just bought the 5lb bag of pieces, and gave a friend a little sample pack to try. I don't think I'll use 5 nuts for 7 loads next time, but I expect that the 5lb bag will last me close to 2 years, and will cost me less than $0.10 per load. That's over half the cost of Tide HE when its on sale.

For the money, it is definitely worth trying the sample pack to see if soap nuts are for you. You can always go back to commercial detergent if you decide that's your preference.

This product cleaned my clothes as good if not better than commercial detergent. My clothes came out smelling good and clean. I've already bought more, this time in bulk. I used them for 6 or 7 loads and I couldn't tell if the last was less clean than the first.
