How Natural Is Your Laundry Detergent?
Maggie's Soap Nuts work just as effectively as regular store-bought detergents, but without all of the unnecessary chemicals and other irritating byproducts that normal laundry agents can leave behind.
Maggie's Soap Nuts are made from dried Chinese Soapberry fruit (a close cousin of lychee and rambutan) that are harvested in India and Indonesia using sustainable, fair trade farming techniques that help protect the environment and small family-owned businesses.
They aren't just made from nature - they are nature!
How Do Soap Nuts Work?
Soap Nuts are rich in saponin, a natural surfactant that creates a mild sudsy foam when agitated in water. Just like regular store-bought detergents, this foam decreases the surface tension of water inside your washing machine and allows it to better seep down in between the threads where dirt and grime gets trapped.
They're safe to use with all fabrics, and are great for delicate materials like silk, linen and wool. Their mild cleansing action won't fade dark or brightly colored fabrics, nor will they stain your whites.
How Do I Use Maggie's Soap Nuts?
Using Soap Nuts is easy-Just toss a few of them into the included cotton pouch and drop them in your washing machine. For a normal-sized load of whites and brighter colors, use two Soap Nuts and warm or hot water. For darker fabrics, use three or four soap nuts and cold water. And for especially dirty fabrics, you can pre-soak the soap nuts in warm water to help release extra saponin.
Soap Nuts Laundry Liquid
In addition to the regular dried Soap Nuts, Maggie's Laundry Liquid is available in a low cost 4 ounce sample, or the larger 32 ounce bottle. Maggie's Soap Nuts Laundry Liquid is made from the same great, all-natural soapberry fruit as our other Soap Nuts, but brewed into a super concentrated liquid and enhanced with fragrant, antimicrobial essential oils of lavender, tea tree and lemon grass.
Maggie's Laundry Liquid is 100% all-natural, unlike most laundry detergents which are made using petrochemicals and other harsh irritants. It contains no artificial stabilizers or preservatives, and is made from sustainable, organic raw ingredients
