Soap nuts

[peachybums]

Basically.....I dont get it lol.

Posted this on cloth nappy forum but thought may have more joy here...

Does anyone use them? How long do they last? Do they get stuff clean? Does your stuff still stink haha?

They are on offer at the monet and was thinking of getting some just for nappies as we are going through powder like its going out of fashion!

I use them on normal clothes and they get them clean fine - but don't think I'd use them on dirty nappies !

Thats what i thought as sometimes the wee ones smell quite strong and i thought something with no fragrance wont lift that out lol. Most of soiled nappies are cleaned by the rinse cycle before i put onto a main wash so im more bothered about the smell really

I used to use them as ds had bad excema. They are in don't lather up loads, but do get clothes clean. Unsure on really tough stains, but worked on moderate stains. I used to put them in a piece of knotted up tight. Found you didn't even really need conditioner either. And yes, they do last quite a while. Used to get 4 washes out of each load I used.

peachy - if you go on the official website I think you can get a free sample.

I certainly wouldn't use them on nappies.
I tried them and they didn't seem to get things any cleaner than with just plain water.
Which did some tests with them a while back too and didn't rate them very highly either.

Ooo i just boguth some but i might go hunbting for free lol, thanks
