Soap Nuts - The Magic of Nature - (Sapindus Mukorossi)
How would you like a 100% natural cleaner that grows wild in the Himalayas and has been used for centuries in India, China and Nepal. It's even on supermarket shelves in Europe and it's cheaper than chemical alternatives. They come direct from India.
Simply place a few of these amazing soap nuts into our small Wash bag and throw them in with your washing. They will leave your laundry clean and fresh for around 6 washes, no need for any other cleansers or fabric softeners. At around 10 cents per wash, why would you use anything else?

- Pure and natural
- Chemical free
- Economical
- Non allergenic (not a nut, really a berry)
- Antibacterial, antimicrobial, antifungal
- Biodegradable
- Wild harvested (organic)
- Beneficial to grey-water and septic systems
- Not tested on animals
So, what's a Soapnut?
Soap Nuts are the seed pod of a macadamia-sized berry from the Sapindus Mukorossi or Soap Nut tree, which is cracked open and dried in the sun, producing a sticky, dark golden shell. These shells (known as 'soapnuts') can be placed into your washing machine instead of detergent and fabric softener, and will leave your clothes clean, soft and without scent.
The pods contain a very high percentage of saponins (Mother Nature's soap), a surfactant which removes dirt and oils from clothing when contacted with water. Soap Nuts can also be boiled into a liquid concentrate and used as a general purpose cleaner, shampoo, hand soap... the list is long and growing.
What can I use them for?
Well, just about everything. As a detergent, a personal cleanser and shampoo, a general purpose cleaner, car wash, pet wash, vegetable wash, carpet and upholstery cleaner...
Soap Nuts are most commonly used as a laundry detergent. They are used instead of chemical detergents and fabric softeners. Soap Nut shells are used on their own in a cotton bag or an old sock tied at the top and put into the machine with your clothes. They do not need to be removed during the rinse cycle as there is no harmful or irritating residue as is left over from normal detergents. The surfactants in the nuts cleans and softens your laundry in one economic and environmentally friendly swoop!
Soap nuts replace all commercial laundry detergents with a 100% natural laundry soap grown by Mother Nature. They contain absolutely no synthetic chemicals or additives, and they're sustainably harvested in countries like Indonesia, India and Taiwan. The soap contained in the shell of the soap berry is highly concentrated: Just two or three soap nut shells cleans an entire load of laundry. The saponins also naturally exhibit antibacterial and antifungal properties, leading to fresh, clean smelling clothes without the need for artificial fragrance chemicals.
I have personally tested them and others have extensively tested them in many washing machines and are very satisfied with their ability to clean anything and everything, including baby clothes and nappies, delicates and silks, woolens, towels and muddy bathmats and even sweaty work clothes from gardening.
Not to mention the savings compared to overpriced other commercial chemical junk soap powders & liquids.
Read what others have to say about Soap Nuts
"Well well...... I am absolutely amazed at the discovery of Soap Nuts.
When a client first mentioned the concept of a soapless washing product my curiosity was raised.
Sometime later she gave me some of your Soap Nuts to use. They sat on my front loading washing machine for a number of weeks, even a couple of months, until I found out more about them and how they worked.
This concept was something that I simply could not get my head around. Eventually I accessed information on your website, read the testimonials and I used the Soap Nuts on the same day. I am astonished at the effectiveness of this product after using Soap Nuts in 4/5 washes now.
I have shared this experience with a friend and her curiosity is now raised, as mine was, at the idea of not using a mainstream soap powder product. Just as I did, she never imagined anything other than washing clothes in a soap product.
I am taking the Soap Nuts to show my friend tomorrow as she is really keen to find out more information about them. Like me and other like minded people she is very keen to use health promoting products and to reduce her impact on the environment.
So there you go, thank you for your wonderful product....I feel much ‘Greener’ now thanks to you.

"Hi friends
I have to agree with Lee-Ann that the soap nuts are my favourite. They have removed a stain from a cloth that I have tried and tried to remove, and this with just one wash! I am amazed that my washing is still nice and soft, without conditioner. Now I want to try making the shampoo.
Thanks for a lovely product - or range of products, I think you have a very satisfied customer.
Regards Sylvia-Qld"
What can I say?
I am just SO IMPRESSED!!! Truly, used the soap nuts on the weekend.
Did 7 loads of washing using only 3 nuts. Then I made some liquid soap.
I’ve washed my hair and washed the dog too.
Nothing I’ve tried in the past cleans glass as good as the liquid soap did.
I was so impressed that I’ve been passing samples to friends and colleagues.
Thanks again. Deb- Qld."
"Thank you so much.
Can I arrange to purchase another 500g bag of soap nuts, and 2 toothbrushes .
I've used soap nuts for a few months now and they are really wonderful!
I live on acreage in an area that doesn't have town sewerage. All grey water is reused on the property,
so soap nuts are a wonderful solution to the standard washing chemicals.
Many thanks! Myra- Qld."
