Soap Nuts a success in the laundry!

John and I have now done two machine loads of laundry with our new pack of “soap nuts” - bought at the Singing Cricket Co-op in Willunga ($14.50 per box).

And the good news is that they work really well:
  • The laundry was as clean as with any commercial laundry detergent we have tried.
  • At the specified rate of use, the box will do many, many washes.
  • Only a single rinse was required - saving masses of water and time.
  • The nuts used for a machine-load also worked for an additional hand wash as well.
  • No salt or other synthetic chemicals were added to the water.
  • The spent nuts went into the compost bin with other natural plant waste.
For us, this is definitely the way to go - for both wastewater and the wash itself!
