I use the SoapNut powder to soak my really nasty washing in and then my SoapNuts in the machine. It works really well. The Soap Nut shop is cheaper than scarecrow so it's worth a look. (www.thesoapnutshop.co.nz) I got a really good brochure with my order with recipes for doing lots of things with them.

I like the tip about the lemon juice! Thanx I guess that would make the machine cleaner too :) YAY]]> Tue, 08 Apr 2008 16:55:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14454&PID=349046&title=soap-nuts#349046 <![CDATA[Soap nuts : ooo thanks for that tip about...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14454&PID=348868&title=soap-nuts#348868 Author: Rachael21

I just have to say that I have been using these for a couple of days now (just bought a trial pack for $5 from scarecrow farm) and am so impressed!!!
Sam's nappies have never come out so soft before and they definitley come out just as clean as with the ecostore we were using. Sam's clothes also came out smelling clean and fresh!!! I am definitely sold!!!

I did do a warm wash with them though as recommended and added a few drops of tea tree oil to the bag.

Also I was told if you want to make sure you don't get any greying due to not having artifical brightners in the wash to try adding a couple of drops of lemon oil or even real lemon juice to the bag.

I find my clothes softer. I wash my hair with it as well and if you use too much your hair feels a bit stiff and if you use less its lovely and soft. I wonder if that might work with the laundry too.

I brought some soapnuts from the soapnut shop (www.thesoapnutshop.co.nz) and they sell the nuts as well as powdered soapnuts. I got a combo which gave me a bit of both. I really like the powdered version because i use it like normal powder and can do lots of other things with it. Even washing my hair with it now.
We have a lot of lime in our water at home and it's been good for getting rid of limescale.

Just had to say, I ran out of washing powder so pulled out my old sample bag of soap nuts (which I'd given up on) and used them to wash my nappies yesterday & today. Have to say they did a pretty good job on the nappies (washed in warm water). They got rid of the poo residue on Leo's new D'lish inserts and left everything smelling pretty fresh (i.e. no poo or wee smells!). Maybe I'll give them a proper trial on my nappies over the next week . . .

Hi
Just though I'd add my thoughts on these. I've been using them on all washing since October last year (husbands work clothes, babies clothes, and my business work clothes). I love them and really cant believe how great they work. They are definitely recommended in warm water, or using a solution to ensure that the saponin is releasing from the soap nuts. It costs about $.10 extra to do a warm wash, and it costs only $0.10 a load when using soap nuts (about $0.20cents a load). Compared to Persil Sensitive (at $0.56 cents a load) it still works out much cheaper even washing in warm water. I really havnt noticed the $1 extra on my power bill each month, as my detergent shopping is so much cheaper.

They are definitely something that you have to try yourself, and work out the right amount of nuts to water temperature for your machine. It will vary with the amount of water the temperature and how much agitation you are getting.]]> Tue, 11 Mar 2008 21:50:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14454&PID=323176&title=soap-nuts#323176 <![CDATA[Soap nuts : nicolaann wrote:I bought soemsoap...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14454&PID=318466&title=soap-nuts#318466 Author: Instinct

I only use them in a warm wash now for that reason. I found the warmer wash must help the soap nuts to soften a bit more. You can make up a solution of soap nuts and hot water to pop in the washing machine. This is a way of doing it and get the effects of a warm wash using cold water.

I believe it works out around 10c more per wash to wash in warm, rather than cold. I have always found a warmer wash is much better for stain removal anyway, and I've always washed the nappies in the same temperature. I don't mind paying this little extra for the amount I will be saving by using soap nuts, compared with detergent prices.

I have just done a full load of washing with a full bag of soap nuts, on a medium heat, with a few drops of tea tree and they have come out feeling soft, and smelling fresh.

I did 2 washes in cold and one in warm. To be honest I don't want to have to wash in warm all the time because a) my power bill will go up and b) not all our washing is suited to a warm wash. As for the overnight wash, I probably do one load a week overnight and have never had a problem with it smelling bad. I know that if I've ever left it for a day in hot weather then it might be a little whiffy, but this was only 7hrs overnight and not in the hottest part of the day. The wash smelt REALLY bad

It was only a sample bag so I haven't lost out too much ($7.50 incl postage) - I think I'm just happier to stick with the Eco Store and cold washes (except for nappies which I always do in a warm wash).

What temperature did you use to wash them with? They apparently have been having more success with a warmer wash rather than cold. Also you can add some drops of essential oil such as Lavender or Tea Tree. If you have been washing on cold, I would suggest going a bit hotter and see how you go.

I probably wouldn't leave the washing sitting for that long over night in this weather. They do tend to get a bit stinky left in the washing machine for hours - I have done this myself with regular detergent, and they have stunk

I have been using the soap nuts and finding them fantastic. My son is toilet training so we don't have many nappies left to wash any more. So with these I can throw other washing in with them - and they don't cause buildups!!

I think they are fab, especially for washing cloth nappies and I'll be getting some in stock for the site in the near future.

The clothing comes out clean, and soft ... and the nappies don't stink

Big thumbs up for me!

Yes, Scarecrow Farm was where I read about them! I know they're really popular with cloth nappy users in the UK (as are eco balls). I think I might try a 50g sample bag (only $5). I'm very intrigued and will let you all know how I get on!

Is scarecrow farm being weird for anyone else? I noticed a few days back that when I go to it, it constantly reloads itself over and over. The product pages are OK though - If I can manage to get there. I use firefox by the way.]]> Wed, 13 Feb 2008 13:23:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14454&PID=301323&title=soap-nuts#301323 <![CDATA[Soap nuts : Soap Nuts at Scarecrow Farm Maybe...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14454&PID=301320&title=soap-nuts#301320 Author: nikkitheknitter

I've considered them, but I'd rather see some good reviews from trusted people before I tried them! Just a little sceptical here ]]> Wed, 13 Feb 2008 13:17:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14454&PID=301309&title=soap-nuts#301309 <![CDATA[Soap nuts : Haven&#039;t about them but like...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14454&PID=301295&title=soap-nuts#301295 Author: mummy_becks

I've heard good things about the washing balls from Greenbeans.

Are the soap nuts the natural thingys?

Not heard any reviews but I'd be interested to hear your view if you do end up using them!!!

I'd say they'd be fabulous for kiddos with sensitive skin.]]> Wed, 13 Feb 2008 12:20:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14454&PID=301237&title=soap-nuts#301237 <![CDATA[Soap nuts : Never even heard of it! ]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14454&PID=301224&title=soap-nuts#301224 Author: kebakat

I usually use Eco-Store powder for all my washing, but have been looking into alternatives - specificially soap nuts. Has anyone tried them?
