Suzanne –
I tried these out because I have a family member who literally can’t tolerate any toxins or preservatives. For a full load I use 6 nuts and a good splash of the Lemon essential oil for freshness (also from Global Soaps). It is amazingly cost effective (the 500g bag has lasted me 1 year), clothes are fresh and no irritated skin. Really good value and so healthy.

I have been buying soapnuts for nearly 10 years. When I have finished using them in the washing machine I keep them in a container, when I have 1 cup I boil them up and use the liquid for washing the dishes. Wouldn’t use anything else.
