How Do I Use Them ?
Washing Clothes - Just put 4-8 half shells in the unbleached natural cotton bag provided. Pop the bag in the washing machine with your clothes, no need for fabric softener but to add a scent you can add a few drops of you favourite essential oil. Suitable at any temperature, pre-wash or rinse cycles and on delicate fabrics. Shells can be re-used up to 5 times, discard any remains when they go dark brown and soggy into your compost heap.
Liquid Soap - A liquid soap can be made by simmering 50g of soapnuts in 1L of water for 10 minutes. When cool, the mixture can either be strained or put in a blender.
