Laundry Detergent that Grows on Trees ebook by Kathryn Ossing

Jan 28, 2024 09:15:59

Soapnuts are 100% natural, compostable, and they really do grow on trees.
They are safe for infant skin, hypoallergenic, fragrance free, antibacterial, antimicrobial, and antifungal.
They leave laundry soft, fresh and clean, and incidentally, insect repellent, and yet using them helps bees!
They work on all fabric types, and can even be used on cloth diapers.
Best of all, they leave no residue on clothing, unlike other laundry detergents.

Useful little book!

I can get soapnuts for €16 a kilo from Aldeia Sabão in Portugal. Not sure how much shipping is, but I know they do their best to ship plastic free and recycled where possible.

Here's a link - soap nuts from aldeia sabão

that's really useful Kathryn! I didn't know about this tree and just learned that there are several specimens growing nearby in Medellín, Colombia, based on Inaturalist observations. I am not sure if they sell any here but I will try to find the trees when I go to the city soon.

They kept fire breathing monkeys as pets! This tiny ad told me so!
