Description

Soapberries are both incredibly effective and extremely gentle. With soapberries, you can be sure that your laundry will be fresh and clean! The mildness of the soap will help preserve the colors and structure of your clothes for a longer time. 500g. approx. 180 washes

Organic and hypoallergenic detergent

Soapberries, also known as soap nuts, are a natural alternative to conventional chemical-based detergents. The berries contain saponin, a natural surfactant that can effectively dissolve and remove dirt from surfaces. Soap nuts can be used not only for laundry but also for cleaning, shampoo, shaving foam, handwashing, etc. They are effective and gentle on your clothes, and you will find that your clothes better retain their structure and colors compared to using chemical-based detergents.

WHY YOU SHOULD USE SOAPBERRIES

100% natural
100% certified organic
No chemicals or enzymes added
Hypoallergenic
Antibacterial
Economical and affordable!
Also suitable for washing silk, wool, and kapok
Compostable
No need for environmentally harmful fabric softeners, as saponin softens the clothes
Can be used at all temperatures, but most effective at 30-60 degrees

WHAT YOU SHOULD BE AWARE OF

Soapberries are natural and therefore do not contain enzymes or chemicals. As a result, the berries may struggle to remove tough stains such as red wine, berries, ketchup, etc. These stains should be treated before washing in the machine with soapberries. You can either use regular neutral dish soap, which you rub on the stain, or our 100% natural stain remover.
Soapberries do not contain bleaching agents or optical brighteners, which lighten and bleach white and light-colored clothes. Therefore, you may find that white clothes become slightly gray over time. We recommend using 2 tablespoons of soda crystals and adding them to the detergent tray when using soapberries for white clothes.

HOW TO USE SOAPBERRIES

Soap nuts are very simple to use. Each package comes with a couple of cotton bags, which the soapberries should be placed in. Once you've filled the bag with the desired number of soapberries, simply place the cotton bag in the washing machine with the dirty laundry. Voilà! The washing machine and soapberries do the rest! Looking for a more specific explanation? Here are our recommendations:

Use 4 berries for a small wash with lightly soiled clothes
Use 5-6 berries for a normally soiled wash
Use 6-8 berries for a heavily soiled wash
Use soapberries for washing at 30-60 degrees
Soak the soapberries before short washes at 30 degrees
Reuse the soapberries up to four times for washes under 60 degrees and one to two times at 60 degrees
Use soda crystals as a natural bleach. Note that our soapberries are 100% natural and do not contain bleach. Therefore, your white clothes will not maintain the same bright white color as when using a chemical-based detergent. Our trick is to use soda crystals with the berries for white laundry to achieve a whiter result
Use essential oils if you want to give your laundry a lovely natural scent
Use our stain remover block to remove tough stains before washing the laundry in the machine. Stains from red wine, ketchup, etc.
