Eco Nuts
Nothing feels better than fresh, clean laundry. But what if the products you’re using are actually dirty? Most conventional laundry detergents are hiding irritating ingredients masked by the cover-all word, “fragrance”. Likewise, while dryer sheets can help clothes stay soft and fresh-smelling, they typically contain toxic chemicals, that cling to fabric and vent into the air we breathe. Plus, being single-use is hardly a green choice!
Eco Nuts laundry products are revolutionizing the way we think about laundry. They are dedicated to creating products with high quality ingredients that are effective, eco-friendly, and ethically-sourced. There are no harsh odors, harmful chemicals, or fake fillers, so you can rest assured that the articles closest to your body are truly clean and safe. This also means there are no destructive ingredients washing down the drain either. Plus, their packaging is thoughtfully made with sustainable, easy-to-recycle materials, like cardboard and aluminum. No plastic!
Check out their wild-grown, Certified Organic soap berries for a gentle and safe alternative to conventional detergent. Their Dryer Balls are made from cruelty-free New Zealand wool and provide a non-toxic, sustainable solution to harmful dryer sheets, softening clothing, lowering static, and reducing drying time!

I really like these so far. They do have a strange scent, but only the berries themselves, not on the clothes. The clothes come out clean and fresh with no scent. It was really intrigued when I learned about these, and they definitely did not disappoint!

so the box came we opened the box it kinda had a strange smell my dad already really didnt like the idea of switching to this type of detergent my mom was much more open but still was skeptical but her first load with it she was extremely impressed with how well the clothes came out i cant say much for stains as we arent a family who stains clothes easily but since my dad wanted his clothes to smell like they were washed my mom did use some of those fabric softener pellet things im forgetting the name apologies we had for a while and it was still very pleasant i personally really like it and will probably keep buying even if im the only one using it

We love washing with just the soap nuts. It does a great job, is really affordable, doesn’t leave a soapy residue on the clothes like all other detergents, and we can compost them afterwards! We only have to use a small amount of other detergent if we’re washing things with tough stains. But for normal washing the soap nuts are great!

Tried this on several loads by itself and it wasn’t a good detergent but it did make my clothes soft but I’m assuming this had to do with my water being a little hard. So I added baking soda, eco nuts and a sheet of laundry detergent and the clothes came out so soft and smells good.

Used once so far, and works fine. Internet offers conflicting instructions on how many nuts to use & how long they will last, so this probably won’t actually last 100 loads. Of course, I’ll update this review if the nuts in fact do last me about 100 loads.

Let me tell you about these nuts… Holy cow these are amazing. I now exclusively use soap nuts for washing my laundry. These get all clothes entirely clean, they remove all sweaty smell, and get rid of dirt. The nuts don’t have any scent themselves, so they leave your clothes smelling neutral. A definite switch I would encourage!

So far this product has worked AMAZINGLY for me. I’m an athlete who soaks clothing in sweat between cross country and dance. All of my clothes has come out smelling clean, granted no actual scent, but I don’t like my clothes smelling like detergent anyways. They just smell plain and renewed when they come out of the washer. No problems so far.😊

I honestly find them very useful to get my clothes rid of odors and small stains! I think they’re just adorable too. After they are wet they smell a little of vinegar and they dry quickly for the next reuse. I don’t plan to switch back to using liquid detergent at all. I’ll be using these and a natural powdered mixture too if I’m out of these. 🙂 Thanks Earthhero!

It does seem magical to wash your clothes with what appears not to be detergent and they come out not stinking. But it works. They’re not great for really dirty things (stains), but you can keep some back up detergent for that. For the plastic saved, this is worth it and seems cost effective too.

As a member of a family of seven, an environmentally conscious option is always something to look for. I am very happy with the soap nuts. For smaller loads we have noticed it works better. When laundry is done they also have to dry (the freshly sudds nuts) which is something others may have to plan ahead. We love the soap nuts overall and for more sensitive pieces. For us with laundry that needs a dep cleaning we go to a stronger alternative. I love that this product is easy to take to travel (pre-COVID) and that it pays for itself with all the loads given that with typically detergent you are paying for the plastic container and 95% water. Excellent for college students too!!

I used this for a load of laundry in warm water and I gave my clothes a good sniff and they all smelled clean after the wash and the dryer.
I also used them to wash a dirty bathroom mat and some kitchen rags. The mat came out fluffy and soft and clean and smelled fine, but the more set in stains did not come out. Same with the rags. These were done with warm water.
I think these work fine but I think other products are needed for extra power if you’re dealing with set in stains. I’m happy with the product although I also am hesitant about getting stuff shipped from Nepal to the US. That being said, they’re such a light product I don’t think they have a huge carbon footprint. While I doubt it would be sustainable if the whole world switched to soapberries, I think in conjunction with other eco friendly alternative to laundry, they’re pretty excellent.

How do I know when it’s time to replace and use new nuts?
(0) (0) Watch Unwatch
EarthHero –
Hi! Each soap nut should be able to be used up to 10 times before they no longer contain saponin, the naturally occurring cleansing agent. Once the nuts begin to crumble and break apart, you’ll know it’s time to refresh the bag with new ones! Also, not only are these nuts wild-grown and pesticide-free, but they’re compostable at the end of life!

I would say that Soap Nuts are sufficient for regular laundry, but I found that they didn’t clean completely for more soiled items (muddy after extended backpacking). For reference, I used cold water only, not sure if that has an effect on efficacy. A good choice if you don’t often have clothes that need a deep clean!

How eco-friendly is this if it ships from Nepal? I also am not a fan of how well it cleans. It requires warm water to activate the “soap” but was water requires more electricity than tap cold does (at least where I live). Very little waste package, sure. But not exactly eco-friendly. (Of course it’s better than a gallon of Tide though!)

My daughter turned me on to these. I’ve tried several brands and these are the best. The little bag, however, was not enough for me. So those of you out there who feel the same, here’s what I did. Found a small, green, round device at the dollar store (used to store mothballs) and had my husband drill small holes all round it. It snaps on VERY tight, and contains the nuts beautifully during washing. The holes allow all the lovely cleaning stuff to do their thing. I do activitate them first in hot tap water in a bowl by shaking them in the water, and discovered that they will even suds up in cold water when I “agitate” them. What’s not to love?!

I wish I had the results these 5-star reviewers had, but I just didn’t, sadly. We have animals and must just be stinky people — coming out of the wash, our shirts smelled like sweat and looked dingy, and our cleaning rags would smell like whatever product was last used on them. Cleaning pet messes, I would rather not worry that the animals can still smell past soilings on the towels and things.
I refuse to wash all my laundry with warm water, but maybe it would work better than cold water if you’re into that. It does noticeably soften the fabrics, though.

The soap nuts work well in my washes and there’s no artificial perfume/smell on my clothes once done. The clothes, I feel, do come out softer than when I used Tide pod before. However, the cloth bag is kinda flimsy even after just the first wash that threads become loose. I suppose it may disintegrate quickly after many washes but hopefully if I try to stitch it up, it will reinforce the seams.

First off these hardly bubble up even in boiling water. Second the water they made after boiling was sticky. Third they stink when boiled. Overall I gave them a try because I really want to be zero waste, but there is nothing that makes these good for cleaning. If you are considering these, save yourself the money and just wash your laundry with water pretreating messes with bar soap, otherwise stick to your regular eco detergent.

I was slightly skeptical coming in to this, but after fair judgement time, I’m in LOVE! Actually, after the first wash I called my mom AND my best friends, to gush about how they totally surpassed my expectations. From a family of 5, with 3 kids under 6, I highly reccomend!

Question
Sabine –
Are the people who harvest the nuts in Nepal paid fair? And how many nuts can be harvested per tree? I mean is this a sustainable alternative? Or are we taking products away from people who need them too? I am really curious to understand this concept.

Hi Sabine! Great questions all around. Eco-Nuts is a wonderful company with extremely high ethical and environmental standards. The soap nuts are wild-harvested once a year by workers who are paid Fair Trade wages and in environments that Eco-Nuts ensures are safe and equitable. The soap nuts are never treated with pesticides or fertilizers, which is not only great for the Earth and the consumer, but also for those doing the picking!

Works like a charm. Gets out all kinds of stains. They also last a ridiculous amount of time

Jennifer Askew –
will these work in cold water? I read some where that they recommend you use hot water when using this type of soap.

Hi Jennifer! We love washing with cold water since it’s typically better for the planet (uses less energy) and better for your clothing! However, very cold water can inhibit the soap nuts from releasing their cleaning agent, saponin. To combat this, it’s suggested that one makes a “tea” by placing the bag with the nuts into a cup of hot water and letting it sit up to 10 minutes, and then adding both the water and bag directly into the drum of the machine. This does take time, so an alternative is the Eco-Nuts Liquid Detergent, which is formulated to work in a wider range of water conditions.

I feel like that moment in “Tangled” when Rapunzel is screaming that she is never going back to her tower. These eco nuts are amazing! I personally have noticed that they work so much better at removing dirt, stains, and build-up and I was SO skeptical before trying them. I’m so hapy they are natural and compostable and won’t cause build-up in pipes or the laundry machine. I also love that something natural actually WORKS. I want to scream and tell everyone about these!

Alejandra –
If my laundry machine has 16kg of capacity, how many nuts should I use for a full load?

Hi Alejandra! Adding 4-5 soap nuts to the provided bag should still do the trick! It’s less a matter of the size of your washing machine and more about how large a load you’re washing. 🙂
