My wife has been using soap nuts for years and we get some really filthy sweaty clothes…gardening is our life. We are not easy on clothes. I can’t stand the smell of most laundry detergents soap nut have no odor. I can’t stand to walk down the laundry aisle at the store. Gain is the worst.

I’m not sure of the brand she uses the link is to the MRH blog and explains the way soap nuts work.

Not for everyone.

Whoa, meant to post to OP. sorry
