Soap Nuts are the fruit of the Chinese Soap Berry Tree. These amazing berries are harvested and then dried in the sun. No chemicals of any kind are added to our soap nuts. Laundry detergent with heavy chemicals is replaced with something all natural and totally organic. The soap nut contains a natural soap called saponin. Saponin has cleaning abilities equal to toxic chemical detergents. Soap Nuts are extremely hypo-allergenic and can be used by people who are allergic to all other detergents. They are completely green and don't pollute our planet. Soap Nuts go by many names, such as soap berries, wash berries, wash nuts, Ritha, Reetha, Aritha, Dodan, Doadni, Doda, Kanma, Thali.
Do they cost extra, like most green products?
Most non-toxic cleaning products cost more than the products they replace. Soap nuts cost much less than toxic chemical detergents. Add in the cost of fabric softener or dryer sheets and soap nuts cost two and a half times less.
How do I use them?
Just place 3 to 5 whole soap nuts in the included drawstring wash bag and toss it into the washer with your clothes. Don't use any detergent, fabric softener or dryer sheets. The 1 Kilo bag includes 3 draw string wash bags. The 500 Gram bag includes 2 wash bags. And the 250 Gram bag includes 1 wash bag. Even after shipping almost all of your soap nuts will be whole when you receive them. We recommend breaking them in half before you put them in the draw string wash bag so water can circulate freely through the inside of the shell so they can release their saponin easier. Soap nuts work equally well in top loaders or the newer HE front loaders. With a top loader expect about 4-6 wash loads using the same soap nuts. With a front loader HE machine you can expect about 7-9 wash loads. The best way to tell if your soap nuts are used up is to put your used soap nuts in a jar with a lid with a few ounces of water and shake them up. If you get suds, you can get another load out of them. Pour the sudsy water in the washer and put the soap nuts back in the wash bag and toss them in for another load. Remember that the hardness of water has an effect on all cleaning products. Water hardness and other factors are different all across the country. So start with our recommendations and then experiment. Try using fewer soap nuts, then more and see what works best in your area. Even if you get it wrong they still work great. Your just trying to optimize your consumption of soap nuts. Your clothes will come out smelling amazingly fresh like you hung them outside on a clear spring day. Plus, your clothes will be softer and more absorbent than ever, which is amazing because you never use fabric softener or dryer sheets with Soap Nuts. Soap Nuts are equal to Tide in cleaning ability. So if you used bleach for your whites before, you can still use bleach for whites and pre spotters for tough stains.
What is the quality of Green Virgin Products Soap Nuts?
Green Virgin Products' Soap Nut products are sealed in a biodegradable plastic bag inside the cloth bag to keep them fresh. We sell only the highest quality Sapindus Mukorossi soap nuts available in the world. We import Green Virgin Soap nuts from the best growers in Northern India, high in the Himalayan Mountains. Labor is far less expensive in India so our soap nuts are harvested, dried, hand sorted, cleaned 100% debris free, deseeded, packaged and labeled there. That's why we can boast the highest quality and the lowest price. You might be able to find soap nuts as good as ours, but better soap nuts are not available at any price, period.
What health hazards can I help avoid by using Soap Nut detergent?
Chemical laundry detergents, fabric softeners and dryer sheets should be avoided at all cost. These products contain chemicals classified under federal law as carcinogens, toxic and hazardous. Some are on the EPA hazardous waste list. The list of health hazards associated with the chemicals in laundry products is staggering and extremely serious. The list includes cancer, central nervous system depressant, kidney damage, headache, nausea, dizziness, confusion, twitching muscles, convulsions, fatigue, liver damage, birth defects, Alzheimer's disease, sudden infant death syndrome, reproductive problems and many more. For proof of this, just Google "laundry detergent health hazards" or click on the health hazards button, just under the pictures on each page of this site. This is not a myth, it's a fact. There are known carcinogens in nationally advertised brands of laundry detergents, fabric softener and dryer sheets. Did you know that the European version of the EPA has banned about 1000 chemicals? The EPA in America has banned a total of 8 chemicals and has not banned a single chemical since 1976. It is illegal to sell American laundry detergents and fabric softeners in Europe, because they contain many banned chemicals. Yet Americans buy and use these toxic products every day. The big soap companies make billions of dollars a year while Americans are slowly being poisoned, along with our rivers, lakes and coastal waters. For a happy healthy family, buy Green Virgin Soap Nuts and use our non toxic cleaning products.

Is water pollution really a problem?
Did you know that 40% of American rivers and 46% of America's lakes are too polluted for fishing, swimming, or aquatic life? In any given year, about 25% of the beaches in the USA are under advisories or are closed at least one time because of water pollution. There is a dead zone, where nothing is alive, in the Gulf of Mexico at the mouth of the Mississippi River the size of Massachusetts. We can help reverse this trend by using green products, including Green Virgin Soap Nuts. Chemical laundry detergents such as Tide, Arm & Hammer Etc. contain chemicals that are classified by the US Government as Toxic, Hazardous and known Carcinogens. Amazingly, the big soap companies don't even have to list these extremely toxic, dangerous and even deadly chemicals on their packaging. The list of chemicals and their health hazards in scented laundry detergents, fabric softeners, and dryer sheets will certainly frighten you, and it should. Many articles can be found by Googling "laundry detergent health hazards". Or you can just click on the Health Hazards Button under the pictures at the top of any page on this site for some links to articles that will prove there are carcinogens in name brand laundry products. Purchase Green Virgin Soap Nuts to do your laundry because children deserve a healthy life. Although the effects of toxic chemicals on adults can be devastating, infants and children are especially susceptible. Don't play Russian Roulette with your health or your families health. Soap Nuts grow on trees. They are totally natural, are chemical free, hypoallergenic and will save you a lot of money (a 1 kilo bag of soap nuts will save you over $50.00 compared to Tide and fabric softener or Dryer sheets), won't harm the environment. For a healthy happy family use Soap Nuts. They are a far better choice than chemical detergents.
What other uses are there for Soap Nuts besides Laundry Detergent?
1. Just throw about 5 soap nuts in a bucket and fill the bucket about half way with the garden hose. Spray under pressure and you will get a lot of suds. This mixture makes an excellent car wash.
2. You can make a soap nut liquid by boiling 3 ounces of water per soap nut. Boil them for about a half an hour then let them sit and then boil them again the next day. This is done to get all the saponin out of the shells. Strain the liquid and you will have a concentrated dark brown liquid soap. Some companies sell liquid soap nuts with preservatives added. We will not sell liquid soap nuts because shipping it with the liquid added more than doubles the price compared to making it yourself. Your home made liquid will not contain any preservatives and will not last more than about 2 to 3 weeks. The perfect solution is to make soap nuts ice cubes using an ice cube tray. Then whenever you want, just throw a soap nut ice cube into a pan of water or a spray bottle and dilute for the job at hand, for an unlimited number of all purpose totally non toxic household cleaning jobs like cleaning counter tops and cabinets. Or throw an ice cube into the washer instead of using the whole nuts. Some people even wash their hair and body with the liquid. It doesn't lather up much like regular shampoos, but it does a good job of cleaning and leaves your hair and skin clean and soft like you used conditioner, and it's totally non toxic.
3. Soap nuts have been used for centuries for killing head lice and their eggs. And supposedly soaking your feet in soap nut liquid cures athlete's foot. We have not verified if this works yet.
Actual Customer Testimonial:
"My order arrived Friday--thank you!
I had a backlog you wouldn't believe of sheets and towels so I took my new nuts to a friend's house and used her front loader. Even with organic/eco friendly detergents I often break out in a rash if I don't double rinse my clothes, so I was a little skeptical about using the nuts in the front loader since there's no opening the door prior to the rinse cycle unless you use the jaws of life.
Wow! One towel in particular was especially rank after a gardening session with a fish emulsion/manure tea accident. I left it on the back porch for over a week and the aroma had not improved in that time. It came out soft and clean and fragrance free. By the way, it's true that you need to treat tough stains with some other means (I'm a fan of oxy and fels naptha soap) but for getting rid of everyday dirt and stink and leaving everything soft and smell free they can't be beat. No more second rinse and no more dryer sheets--hooray!
I did ten loads in three days. After the first four I started testing the bag of nuts by shaking them in the jar of water you suggested. Our water is particularly hard, so I was surprised at how sudsy the water got even after NINE loads! I'm talking suds, not foaming froth like you get from all the poisons. I put six new nuts in the bag for the tenth load and boiled/simmered the old six nuts for half an hour to see what would happen.
I got a little over a cup of weak tea colored liquid and used it to clean some lawn furniture. Again, Wow!"

Be Aware of a Deceptive New Sales Practice on the Internet
Be aware about a new trend on the internet. Web sites pretending to be review sites. They don't identify themselves and they act like they are an independent company that just does reviews and give information. If a review site only mentions one brand and only recommends one brand then it is just an advertisement disguised as a rating site. They exist for all different kinds of products. These websites are expensive and their customers end up paying higher prices. Green Virgin Products will never miss lead our customers in any way and we go to great lengths to keep our prices the lowest and our quality the highest. This goal was designed into our company at its inception.
