Greenwill 3 Pounds Organic Soap Berries/Soap Nuts + 2 Wash Bags

We really like these soap berries. The clothes come out clean and fresh smelling. The berries were packed in a paperbag which seems to be a good method of storage, months later the berries in the bag look just like the day they arrived. The 3 pound bag I bought has lasted longer than I expected. I like the fact that we are no longer using the chemical laden blue liquid detergent in the big plastic bottles. The hardest thing about using these soap berries is opening strings on the wash bag you put them in to throw int he washer. The price was the best, shipping was very quick will gladly buy from the seller again. THANK YOU!!

Love ! So happy to have stumbled across soapberries. This box is huge and will last a long time - potentially, 1-2 years. Really effective at cleaning clothes

I have to say I bought this on a whim. I used them at first, then decided liquid detergent was "easier" Then, my brand new front loader started to "smell"... that musky water smell everyone complains about. After some research, that SMELL comes from the man-made DETERGENTS! yes! They accumulate in places, build up over time and they smell and hold bacteria. that's why they also sell those packets to "clean" your machine... it's to get rid of the build up from their products.So I went back to soap berries, and I have to say a few things about being persistent ( going on 2 months) about using them:1) MY FRONT LOADER NO LONGER SMELLS2) your clothes are clean, stains lifted and whites white. I think people have been brainwashed that clean laundry has to have a scent... that's just temporary chemicals.3) My clothes are so SOFT- you don't need any softener at all, and coming out of the dryer, no lint/static guards either. All those are chemicals to fight other chemicals... like fighting the side effect of a drug with another drug.- This natural, effective soap nuts thing is really worth the persistence ... and getting to love it and appreciate it.I highly recommend this on the High efficiency machines- and frankly only use this if you want to avoid that smell-

The soapberries came packaged securely in a brown paper bag (no plastic bag). To test the soapberries, I took a denim shirt and rubbed/ground in dirt/mud into the bottom of the shirt. Let it sit for awhile to attach to fibers. Then put a load of laundry (including the shirt) into our LG machine. Ran it on a normal cycle with two muslin bags with 5 berries each in the load. Periodically I checked to see if there was actual suds and there was. Shirt came out clean with no dirt/mud left. I also gave some to two friends who have a skin condition that is irritated by commercial soaps. They tried the berries and said that they experienced no irritation from the clothes after washing. I change out the berries when they feel really squishy (like 4-5 large loads), I do not leave them in the washer when the cycle is done. I definitely recommend this seller and the product.

People have reported that these come in ziplock/plastic bags but mine came in brown, unbleached paper. I found these on Subscribe & Save. They are good quality soap nuts for the price. I've used more expensive brands but these are pretty darn good. The nuts are a little drier/harder but still work. Have used about 1/2 the bag so far (5 months), however, I made liquid soap which uses more. I would expect this to last me about 8 months of regular washing 5-6 loads a week of bedding, towels, clothes by using 5 or so in a bag. Again, boiling the nuts to make liquid soap uses quite a bit more product but I wanted to try it:) You can also grind this with a food processor for 'powdered' soap. But again, you will likely use more product than just putting 5 or so in the wash bag that's included and reusing til gone. I have a zip lingerie bag that I just add to every now and then. When all used up, I toss the scraps in my compost. ps. start with a hot or warm water load to soften your nuts. These are a bit harder & drier than the expensive brands but it's just water that's evaporated. They still work great!
