How to Use

  • Add the sack to your washing machine and follow clothing manufacturer instructions. Leave the sack in the machine through the complete wash and rinse cycles.
  • Reuse up to 5 times in hot water, even more in cold water. Return Soap Nuts to the earth by adding them to your compost! It’s that simple!

HE washers: Use 2-3 Maggie’s Soap Nuts. Put the sack in the machine with your clothes. Reuse 2-3 times.

Hand washables: Soak a few Maggie’s Soap Nuts in a cup of hot water for a few minutes. Add the liquid to your cool hand wash.

Heavy Soils: Use more Maggie’s Soap Nuts. Add fewer clothes to your machine so your fabric has lots of room to agitate.

Stains: Blot generously with a soaked Maggie’s Soap Nuts until stain is removed. Wash normally.

Sparkling Whites: Separate your colors. Sun dry if you can. Use environmentally-friendly bleach or spot remover if needed.

Special Hint: In cold water your nuts will last up to twice as long, use them until they no longer feel slippery when wet.

Happy Washing!

What's a Soap Nut?

Soap Nuts are the dried fruit of the Chinese Soapberry tree (Sapindus mukorrosi), similar to the lychee. A long time ago, local folks in the South East Asia figured out that when the nuts get wet, they release saponin, a natural cleaner, making them great for washing clothes! Maggie's Soap Nuts are the only household cleaner made exclusively from Nature, by Nature.

A single soapberry tree produces hundreds of kilos of nuts per year! Maggie's Soap Nuts fall to the ground in Indian and Indonesian forests where they are collected by folks who have used the nuts for centuries. We take pride that our all-natural soap GROWS ON TREES!

Sustainability

In suffering rural economies Soapberry trees are cut down and sold as lumber and firewood to feed hungry families. Maggie’s Pure Land reserves the Soapberry harvest years in advance, providing families with guaranteed income from living Soapberry trees.

By using Maggie’s Soap Nuts:

  • You are preserving tropical forests!
  • You are supporting real people in their local economies, cultures and communities!
  • You are using the safest, most natural product available!

Soap nuts cleaned as well as Tide Coldwater

By marion on 7/18/10

All my reviews  (2)

I ran two loads, one with Tide Coldwater and one with the soap nuts. I'd say the soap nuts performed just as well as the Tide, and I even preferred the fresher small of the wash done with soap nuts.

In terms of cost, the soap nuts cost about $34 for 200+ loads, and Tide Coldwater costs about $52 for 200 loads. So not only do the soap nuts have the advantage of being completely natural, but they're also cheaper. I have already recommended the soap nuts to my mother!

I can't believe how effective this is! Not only does it do a great job cleaning the laundry, when the nuts are used up I can just throw them in the compost!
