There are so so many benefits of using soap nuts...
* They are probably the cheapest washing detergent on the market (very
important in the current financial climate!) 250 grams gives 65 - 85 wash
loads (compared to Ariel non bio 1.857kg = 24 wash loads, 7 times more
detergent [weight] for 60 less washes)
* They soften clothes so eliminate the need for conditioner. For those
who like adding a smell we advise to use 10 – 15 drops of any essential
oil such as Lavender. This option appeals to many of those who like their
clothes to small nice.
* They are completely natural and unprocessed. Therefore they contain
no harsh chemicals, foaming agents or optical brighteners so are much
safer to use on our clothes, on our skin and in our waste water system.
* They are great for those with skin allergies, sensitivities, eczema,
psoriasis etc.
* Can be used at all temperatures from 30.c – 90.c
* 100% Organic
* Mild and gentle on fabric structure and colours so clothes last a lot
longer.
* Extremely versatile. They can be used to clean almost everything in the
home…shampoo, all-purpose kitchen cleaner, hand-wash, shower ‘gel’ etc
* Antimicrobial properties. Removes microbes from laundry.
* Natural anti-fungal properties.
* Hypoallergenic. Most allergic reactions to detergents are due to the
chemicals and fragrances in them.
* Great for removing odours.
* Low sudsing: Good for all washers. Excellent for high efficiency (HE)
washers.
* 100% biodegradable.
* Not tested on animals.
* Requires no manufacturing processes. No chemicals or fossil fuels
needed to produce.
* A primary product from a sustainable source.
* Does not pollute our water systems.
* Good for septic and grey water systems.
* Environmentally safe.
* Natural product with basically an endless shelf life.
* Since Soap Nuts are primarily a resource from only emerging nations,
increased demand will provide an additional needed economic
stimulus and will encourage increased planting, growth and farming.
Increased forestation and natural means of harvesting will aid in the
reversal of Co2 accumulation.
* Virtually untapped potential for eliminating most harmful chemicals
from the market.
