They are the only laundry product that is truly green and sustainable. Plus, I love that I am not contributing to the waste stream with bottles and boxes.<br /><br />Here are a few tips. In a top-loading machine soap nuts work best in luke-warm water because that helps release the saponin. In front-loading HE machines or cold water wash it is best to make the liquid. For cold water add 1/2 cup to the wash and for HE machines add 1/3 cup to the wash and softener dispenser. Soap nuts will act as a fabric softener and you also get a second wash this way.<br /><br />I recommend using a non-chlorine bleach such as Oxy-clean for whites and really dirty clothes. Pre-treat stains as you normally would.<br /><br />I find that 3 nuts 3 times work fine in an extra large load (and I have hard water). For liquid I boil 5-6 nuts in 4 cups of water for 10-15 minutes and then repeat because there is a lot of saponin that will be released the second time. You will have a nice amber liquid that needs to be refrigerated because it has no preservatives. <br /><br />I stay away from pre-packaged soap nut liquid because I feel it defeats the purpose of being green plus I've read where they have to add chemicals to it to keep it fresh.<br /><br />If you like what I have said check out my website www.earthcaremarket.com. where you will find soap nuts and other unique products that allow you to clean without any household products-now that is GREEN!! I also offer lots of info about non-toxic cleaning and ideas on how to do that. <br /><br />I am so glad that people are starting to wake-up to the fact the the manufacturers of household cleaners are not required to list the contents of their products. We need to educate ourselves and then our families and friends about this and we will all be healthier. <br /><br />Nancy <br /><br />ForGreen Clean Queenhttp://www.earthcaremarket.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096774539556057938.post-73627641408523526142009-04-19T09:33:00.000-04:002009-04-19T09:33:00.000-04:00Thanks Marlene for the encouragement.
