soapnuts?

[booyhoo]

a friend has started using them, thoroughly reccommends them so i want to give them a go. she said she paid about £5 for a 500g bag. would that be right? where do i get them? is there a specific type to get? how do you use them?

Our local heath food co-op does them. They should come with a little linen bag, into which you put about half a dozen soap nuts then chuck it in with your wash. A fiver sounds about right.

thanks for that blue. will try our health food shop during the week then.

Hi

If you can't find them when your in town you can buy them online www.ecoshopkent.co.uk
£4.49 for 250g put them into a muslin bag or stocking to keep them in place.

We have started using soapnuts, which we got at about £2.50 a packet when Lakeland were phasing them out. The friend who recommended them sources hers from eBay.

Thanks for the link, greenmum1!
