Certainly! Whip up a batch of Soapnut Soak, and add a few tablespoons of  it to your hand washing instead of detergent.

Absolutely! Soapnuts are 100% natural and hypoallergenic, and they do not contain added chemicals or fragrances which can often lead to skin irritation in babies and others with skin sensitivities.

Absolutely! In fact, if you are currently using a commercial detergent on your cloth diapers, you are using more diapers than necessary! Here’s why: each time you wash a cloth diaper in commercial detergent, the fabric becomes more and more clogged. (Commercial detergents leave a residue on the diaper, as they don’t rinse completely). This residue can cause loss of absorbancy and even diaper rash in little ones with sensitive skin.

That’s why soapnuts are an ideal solution for washing cloth diapers:

• Soapnuts are all natural, and contain no harsh chemicals that will irritate your baby’s skin and cause diaper rash
• Soapnuts naturally soften and add body to laundry — without “clogging up” the fibers of the diapers. In fact, soapnuts will ’strip’ the diaper of build-up caused by commercial detergents, and *increase* the diaper’s absorbency!
  
• Soapnuts gently and effectively eliminate ALL lingering smells. If you like your laundry to have a scent, consider using our Baby Powder fragrant oil for an added baby scent “boost.”

They sure are! Soap nuts are antimicrobial and are actually beneficial for both septic and greywater systems. Also, because soapnuts are 100% natural and biodegradable, it’s completely safe to wash the soapnut suds down the drain.

Absolutely! Unlike regular detergent, soapnuts do not have a high acid content — that means you can use them to safely wash delicate fabrics such as wool and silk. In fact, the soapnut’s gentle cleansing properties has long made it the favored washing medium for the delicate Indian fabrics, including Kashmir embroidery with its delicate natural dyes, and India’s most expensive brocades and silks, with their beautiful interwoven gold and silver threads.

No. Despite their name, soapnuts are not actually nuts; they are a berry-like fruit of the Sapindus Mukorrosi tree.

Absolutely! In fact, because they don’t create many suds, soapnuts are great for high-efficiency (HE, or front-loading) washers! A front-loading washing machine requires a special detergent, called HE detergent, to allow it to clean your laundry properly. HE detergent is unique because it doesn’t produce lots of suds like regular detergent does.

Soapnuts are naturally a low-sudsing product — with no added fillers, dyes or chemicals to create bubbles in the wash. But even without the bubbles, you will find that the soapnuts will thoroughly clean your laundry.

Soapnuts are especially great for those with sensitive skin — including babies and those that suffer from allergies, eczema, and psoriasis! Commercial detergents can easily irritate skin that is dry and sensitive, but soapnuts are extremely gentle and chemical free — alleviating the potential for problems. Liquid or sheet fabric softeners may also irritate skin, but since soapnuts make your laundry soft and fluffy, those products are are truly unnecessary!

Soapnuts are totally natural – which means that there are no commercial foaming agents or chemicals added. Those chemicals, which are commonly used in commercial detergents, aren’t actually necessary. The saponin released by the soapnuts will only make mild suds — and you’ll find that your laundry will be just as clean without the presence of the extra suds – and the harsh chemicals that make them.
