The other day I ordered some soap nuts from Green And Nutty<\/a> – and they arrived (rather quickly) yesterday (or today… I forget.. a package on the doorstep anyway). Kristy<\/a> (owner) was telling me about the soap nuts ages ago… and I finally got around to giving them a go (otherwise known as “stewart put two and two together when needing to buy washing powder”).<\/p>\n

I don’t have an allergy problem to normal soaps and aren’t on some exotic “everything must be natural” trip (although it does have a certain appeal).<\/p>\n

One bonus thing (for me) is that I *know* that what I’m using for washing clothes is vegan.<\/p>\n

Anyway, first wash with them today and no problems to report. Seemed to produce clean clothes (although weren’t that dirty to begin with). Will report further in future washes.<\/p>\n
