Soap Nuts: Laundry Buds & More

Soap Nuts

Soap nuts are not actually nuts at all, but fruit derived from tree's in Nepal and India. http://www.davidsuzuki.org/what-you-can-do/queen-of-green/faqs/cleaning/what-are-%20soap-nuts/

We used them occasionally in China, by sticking a few nuts in a bag (haha!) and throwing them in the wash. When I was visiting a friend in Shanghai, she was boiling a concoction of them on the stove top, so we opted to try this out. When I looked up the 'recipe', it turns out that we can convert to Soap Nuts for all our soap needs! http://www.buysoapnuts.com/how-to-use-them/
