Soap Nuts, Nepal

Soap Nuts

Plant-based detergent and multi-purpose cleaner, hypo-allergenic and anti-bacterial. Soap nuts are soap berry shells from the Sapindus mukorossi tree native to the foothills of the Himalayas. Used in Nepal and India for centuries to tackle dirt, oil and odours. The secret? Natural soaping agents called saponins. They're non-toxic and safe for our bodies, water and planet! 

Use whole shells in the laundry but an easier way is to make a liquid. Here's a great link for a Soap Nuts Liquid Recipe that is the base for so many cleaning uses in your home including a multi-purpose cleaner for the entire home, including windows.
