Have you heard of "soap nuts"?

Bearing in mind our collective concern over keeping salt levels down in AAEV waste water, how about a laundry cleaner that is a simple natural plant material with NO added salt, that cuts down the requirement for rinse water, and that can be tossed straight into the compost bin after a few washes? Too good to be true? It seems not. Soap nuts from the tree Sapindus mukorossi can do just this. See the ATTACHMENT for more information.

There are local sources so it is definitely worth a trial. (Elizabeth H.)
