Soapnuts natural detergent is the most eco-friendly way to wash clothes, towels, sheets and everything else. And for the best quality you will automatically end up with the Elicious Soapnuts!

These are the fruits of the Sapindus Mukorossi tree. The shell of this natural soap nut or soap nut  contains the component 'saponin', which acts as soap after contact with water. The Elicious soapnuts are actually shells because we have already removed the kernel. So you have more soap for the same weight!

Characteristics:

• Skin-friendly, suitable for sensitive skin
• 100% natural and biodegradable
• Good for your laundry and colours. In Asia, even the most beautiful silk is washed with soapnut shells
• No fabric softener needed
• Cheap to use
• Can also be used in the dishwasher

This beautiful cotton (reusable) bag is filled with 750 grams of soap nuts so you can get started right away. The soap nuts come with a smaller cotton bag that you can use in the washing machine.

750 Grams means about 225-250 soapnut shells (the size varies slightly) so according to the usage information below you can use 30 degrees can wash up to about 120 times. That is roughly € 0.09 per wash. Not only ecologically, but also economically.

Use:

• put 8 soapnuts in the supplied cotton bag
• put it together with the laundry in the drum of the washing machine or in the rack of the dishwasher
• with 8 soap nuts you can wash several times. That depends on the temperature because high temperatures accelerate the removal of the saponin. This is a guideline because it also depends on the water quality;
• when washing at 30 degrees you can use the soap nuts 4 times
• when washing with 40 degrees you can use the soap nuts 3 times
• when washing with 60 degrees you can use the soap nuts 2 times
• when washing with 90 degrees you can use the soap nuts 1 time
• you can optionally add some essential oil to the soap nuts to add your favorite scent to your laundry
