90+ washloads. That Red House certified organic Soapberries (also called Soap Nuts) are the natural alternative to traditional fabric softeners and laundry detergents. Can also be used as a concentrated all purpose liquid soap. The dried shell of the fruit of the Sapindus Mukorossi tree is exceptionally high in 'saponin' which is nature's soap.  Straight from nature to your home!

You are making a difference:

  • Supporting the 'Grow Nepal' initiative which creates a future for the Nepalese people, and protecting the trees helps reduce deforestation in the Himalayas.
  • Reducing pollution by using a raw plant product with almost no processing or packaging and that is fully compostable.
  • Completely chemical free, grey water safe, septic safe.
  • No plastic bottle - calico bag can be reused and soap nuts can be composted at the end of use.

 

Intructions for use:

  • Place the equivalent of five whole soap berry shells in the small cotton bag provided.
  • Add bag to normal washload and remove when finished. 
  • Use warmer water for heavily soiled loads (40-60 degrees).
  • Re-use the same shells for approx. four more loads.
  • If you prefer a scent on your laundry, pop a few drops of your favourite essential oil on the wash bag (such as lavender or eucalyptus).
  • When finished, shells are thin and brittle, at which point they can be added to your compost to break down naturally.
  • You can also make a multi-purpose liquid by boiling the berries for 15 minutes, and use the liquid for anything, from shampoo to a cleaner.

Features:

  • Money saving. Soap nuts cost around 10c per wash load for a 1kg bag. Compared to conventional washing powders, they can save you a great deal over the course of a year. Data supplied by That Red House.

Love these berries!

These soapberries work perfectly! My work and gym clothes are always clean, and I love that there is zero waste in the packaging. No more plastic bottles!

Unsure

I used these soap berries to wash my bed linen a few times, but I think using hot water alone would’ve probably had the same (mildly cleansing) effect.

Good buy

Cleans ok but require the addition of essential oils for scent.

Not bad but not great

I never considered a plant based product for my laundry so was excited to try these. For what they are they aren't bad, however in comparison to the wash I get with normal laundry powder its very easy to see the difference. These dont leave any nasty chemicals or fragrance, however I feel like the clean wasn't as deep and they are very much for standard washing, not stains or smells.
The packet recommends using 5 full soapberries for a load, however I found sometimes I would have to add more to get any lathering/soapy effect.
They do last a long time, I still have half a bag, and they can be composted which I love. I do think next time I will have to try with some castille soap or something else in combination as I would love to be as natural as possible in the laundry.

Great product

I started using soapberries about a month ago and I love them. My laundry has been lovely and clean each time. I use them both in the washing machine and also in the laundry sink for hand washing. Once the berries are spent I throw them into my compost.
