This weekend I experimented with a natural laundry cleanser: soap nuts.
Yes, they are real nuts. As in, round brown hard things that grow on trees. And they naturally have soap in their flesh. Weird, but amazing.
They worked! Used them for six loads of all diff water temps, and they cleansed smelly gym clothes, wet beach towels, and a filthy lunchbox we found in storage. Clothes smelled fresh and were wonderfully soft (no fabric softener used; only the soap nuts).
AND they are about 1/3 the cost of regular detergent. Seriously. Amazing. Check out youtube for videos of how they work if you don't believe me!
