Laundry Soap Nuts
The soap that grows on trees!


Truly effective, 100% natural and safe for most sensitive skin. Soap Nuts are dried fruit from the Chinese Soapberry tree. They contain saponin, a natural cleaner used for thousands of years to clean clothes, just like the plants used by Native Americans.

Simply put a few Soap Nuts into the included cotton sack and drop it in your laundry. Your clothing comes out clean, vibrant and soft. Replace your laboratory detergents and softeners with the soap made by nature. Safe for your clothes, your skin, your family and the environment.

How To Use:

Put the Soap Nuts into the included, reusable cotton sack. Tie it closed.  Add the sack to your washing machine and follow clothing manufacturer instructions.  Return Soap Nuts to the earth by
adding them to your compost!  It’s that simple!
 

Warm/Hot Water
Use 2 Maggie’s Soap Nuts in the cotton sack.

Cold Water
Use 4 Soap Nuts and re-use them 2-3 times. OR pre-soak 2 Soap Nuts in the cotton sack in hot water for a few minutes.  Add the “tea” and sack to your cold wash load.

Heavy Soils
Pre-soak 4 Soap Nuts in the cotton sack in hot water for a few minutes. Add the “tea” and sack to your wash load. Add fewer clothes to your machine so the fabric has lots of room to agitate.

For Sparkling Whites
Always separate your colors.  For extra stain removal, add a scoop of oxygen bleach.

Fabric Softener
Maggie’s Soap Nuts naturally soften and add body to your clothes. You’ll love how your
clothes feel after washing with Maggie’s Soap Nuts.

Hand Washables
Soak 2 Soap Nuts in hot water for a few minutes.  Add the “tea” to your cool water basin. Alternatively, add a squirt of your homemade Maggie’s Soap Nuts liquid cleaner to the cool basin.
