That Red House certified organic Soapberries are the natural alternative to traditional fabric softeners and laundry detergents. Can also be used as a concentrated all purpose liquid soap. Harvested from the Sapindus Mukorossi tree, the shell contains high levels of 'saponin' that create suds in your machine. Choose from 250g, 500g or 1kg
250g = approx. 90 wash loads.
500g = approx. 180 wash loads.
1kg = approx. 365 wash loads.

Intructions for use:
- Place the equivalent of five whole 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.
- 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 berries 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.
- USDA and ECO CERT certified organic.
- Hypo-allergenic. Perfect for those with sensitive skin or allergies.
- Anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and odorless.
- Packaged in reusable draw string bag with small wash bag.

- No plastic bottle - calico bag can be reused and nuts can be composted at the end of use.

Brand story
After some serious health scares, the couple behind That Red House decided it was time for a change. Selling their house in the eastern suburbs of Adelaide, they moved out to the hills, where they started a chemical free life.
During this period of adaptation, they realised they could find no detergents without hidden chemicals. Intending to use the washing greywater on their veggies, they really needed a solution that was completely free of toxins.
Enter soapberries. After a little while keeping them a secret, they decided the world needed to know about this life changing little nut. In 2013 they imported around 600kgs of soapberries, and That Red House as we know it was born.

- SWSunnie W.Verified ReviewerReviewingOrganic Soapberries (Soap Nuts) Natural Laundry DetergentI recommend this productSkin Type DrySkin Concern SensitiveRated 5 out of 5 stars2 weeks agoExcellent laundry detergent!
I have sensitive skin and thought I’d give these a go. I was very pleasantly surprised with how great these work, how easy they are to use, how they make much less of a mess than powder or liquid detergent, and how cost effective they are. Highly, highly recommend these laundry nuts! I went back and bought a bigger bag (after a long time, because even a small packet lasts ages!)

Have been buying these for years. Never had an issue. Comes will two small calico bags for berries which I hang on the line with clothes to dry. Take out the old spent berries after 5 or so washes and add fresh. Used berries go in the compost.
- TKTanya K.Verified BuyerReviewingOrganic Soap Berries (Soap Nuts) Natural Laundry Detergent 500gI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars8 months agoSo clean
First time user of soap berries & must say I am impressed. Everything feels so much ckeaner than any other well known supermarket laundry liquid. Great for people sensitive to chemicals & artificial type ingredients.
- SRSandy R.Verified BuyerReviewingOrganic Soapberries (Soap Nuts) Natural Laundry DetergentI recommend this productSkin Type DrySkin Concern Sensitive, Dehydrated, MatureRated 5 out of 5 stars1 year agoAmazing way to wash laundry
I have done a couple of loads of laundry with these soap nuts and the clothes came out lovely and clean. It was strange that they didn't have a scent like they normally do with the laundry liquid which has parfum added (bad!). I was recommended these soap nuts by a friend who has been using them for years. I am now very happy that all the water going into my greywater system from the washing machine contains no toxic chemicals. I might add some essential oil to future washes as desired if I want a little fancy scent on my clothes lol. The bag will last me around 2 years which is incredible value. Gee I wish we could buy these natural products in the supermarkets instead of bad toxic stuff! Thanks Biome for helping the save the planet :)
- KLKellie L.Verified BuyerReviewingOrganic Soapberries (Soap Nuts) Natural Laundry DetergentI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars1 year agoYou'd have to be nutty to use anything else 🙄
I'm onto my second big bag of nuts which I use alongside Biome's concentrate bar for our laundry. They're very good value, everything comes up clean.
The only things to watch out for; is once or twice a nut has left a little brown staining, which washes out. Perhaps the bag of nuts getting twisted in a flannelette sheet for example. As a precaution, with the white tops I use Biome's liquid.
Also, open the top of the little bag to dry out to avoid mildew forming at the ties.
But otherwise, I love this product and how wonderful to be plastic and harsh chemical free!
