Simply put a few Soap Nuts into the included cotton sack and drop it in your laundry. Your clothes come out clean, vibrant, and soft. Replace your laboratory detergents and softeners with the soap made from Nature by Nature. Your clothes, your skin, your family, and your planet will thank you.

| I'm disappointed. I've been using soap nuts now for a couple years and they are wonderful for lots of uses, but these are very messy and look old to me. I can't make my powdered cleaner from them. They would make a big mess of my blender, and I don't know what I would end up with. I don't think I want to know. I won't use them in the wash bag in my laundry for fear they will stain my clothes. They are so black and slimy and they stick and leave a mess on everything. I don't like them. I paid more for these than usual, too. What's with that? I'll stick with my regular brand which is hand sorted. It was a mistake to change. I'm boiling these to make my liquid cleaners. They seem to be fine for that. I've been trying to dry some out some for a week, but they are still rubbery and too messy for me. :-( |

Maggie's soap nuts are actual nuts that grow on trees in Indonesia, they are a renewable, biodegradable product. Load for load, the price is comparable to comercial laundry products, I'm still keeping a tally on my first box but if the $18.95 size actually does 80 loads it will come out to 24 cents a load.
What's even better is that they also work! They leave the clothes so soft that you won't even need fabric softener (another $ savings.)
I LOVE soap nuts. |

| I've been using Maggie's Soap Nuts almost exclusively (except for the cloth diapers, which I use Charlie's) for over 2 years now and I couldn't be happier. I do a lot of laundry: there are 5 of us in the family. The soap nuts clean well, smell great, and last a long time (I usually toss a new nut into the bag with the crumbs of old nuts, and occasionally dump the bag when it gets full of dried-out crumbs). I love how the clothes are so soft! I recommend these to anyone who is willing to give them a try. Once you try it out for a week, you'll find it works great! |

| I ordered the small "try it" size about three weeks ago. It finally came in today. "Oh boy, I've been waiting for these". When I opened the package, I did not hear the "tah dah" in the background that I was expecting. I'm not sure what some of these reviewers are used to smelling like, but the smell of the berries was far from pleasant. Kind of a vinegar, pickled peach smell. But, I thought I'd try it out, maybe they would smell better after they got wet? Well, they did smell a little different...but not good. My idea of "earthy" does not include a wet dog or decaying fruit smell. That's what these little guys smelled like. After doing a load of bath towels, I was relieved I didn't buy a larger package. The towels didn't even go to the dryer. I ran the load through again with my usual detergent to get the smell out! One the up side, I did notice the towels felt very soft. But the smell just wasn't worth the softness. |

I feel absolutely stupid for even trying these. I should have known they were a gimmick. Me and my husband have allergies to a lot of soaps, so I figured why not at least give them a try? After reading all of the wonderful reviews I figured they'd at least work on lightly soiled clothes. WRONG.
I'm convinced that most of the good reviews are either from people that don't mind their clothes smelling bad or trying to sell these things.
I used them with a small load of lightly soiled clothes. The clothes came out smelling WORSE than when they went in. They weren't any cleaner and the only way I can describe the smell is wet stinky dog. I've used all kinds of normal non-scented detergents, and while some of them didn't clean well I've never had any cause my clothes to smell really bad like these things did. I read on some other sites that you could use them to wash other stuff too. I broke a couple open and rubbed them on my hands under water just to see what they'd do. My hands did end up really soft afterward, but the smell was HORRIBLE (yet again, wet dog smell pretty much). I couldn't even get the smell off until I washed my hands a few times with soap.
Oh yeah, the ones I ordered were also supposed to come with a bag for the nuts; it didn't.
I must say, this is the weirdest least effective product I've ever ordered. I wouldn't recommend these to anyone. I ended up throwing the whole bag away. |
