Answer: Absolutely, Soapnuts make a great, natural shampoo - even for pets!
Boil 3-4 Soapnuts in a cup of water for a few minutes, let it cool off. Pour this liquid into an empty shampoo bottle,or the best if you use one of those liquid-to-foam pumps (make sure you drain the liquid with a colander, the small shell-pieces can easily clog the pump). Just wash your hair with this Soapnut liquid/foam as you would do with the commercial ones. It might not be as foamy if you are using a regular bottle as you are used to, but your hair will be very grateful that you are not attacking it with all those chemicals! Your hair will be shiny and healthy after a few use.
If you add a few drops of tea tree oil to your soapnut shampoo, it will be effective against dandruff.
If your hair is dry, use less Soapnuts for the liquid. If your hair is oily, add the juice of a lemon to the Soapnut-shampoo for extra shine and to reduce oiliness.

Answer: Just put the small washer bag filled with about 5 Soapnuts in the machine with your clothes. Do not put the Soapnuts in the cup dispenser, just leave that empty. The Soapnut bag should be on the top of or in between your clothes. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any further questions!

Qualities
|
Biodegradable ▸
x
The product or its components can be broken down by natural forces into the simplest possible molecules under commonly found conditions and in a reasonable length of time.
Did you know?
For something to be considered biodegradable it must completely break down and return to nature in a reasonably short time.
The difference between biodegradable and compostable items is that when the latter breaks down it turns into compost, which can provide valuable nutrients to the soil.
Different materials take different periods of time to biodegrade. Paper could take 2 to 5 weeks while plastic might take 5 years. Or even 100 years!
There is now an array of biodegradable plastics on the market, including PLA. But not all bio-based plastics biodegrade.
Just because something is biodegradable doesn’t mean it’s good. Some things that break down are hazardous.

Non-Toxic ▸
x
Upholds stringent Abe’s Market standards for natural products. Must cause no adverse impacts on human or environmental health.
Did you know?
Non-toxic would be a non-issue in a cleaner world, but the dirty truth is that over 80,000 different chemicals are in use today, with another 2,000 or so materials introduced yearly.
Many of these synthetic substances don’t pass the safety test. Research by the National Toxicology Program suggests that up 10% are carcinogens.
Out of 2,800 substances used in amounts over a million tons in the U.S., only 7% or so have been fully studied for toxicity.
Between 15% and 30% of us report reactions to the unhealthy ingredients found in common consumer products.

Chlorine Free ▸
x
No chlorine or chlorine-based chemicals like sodium hypochlorite are in the product.
|
Organic ▸
x
Products produced fully or primarily without employment of chemically formulated fertilizers, growth stimulants, antibiotics, or pesticides. Better for the planet? Yup. Better for you? You bet.
|
|
Compostable ▸
x
Ingredients or packaging able to naturally biodegrade into the simplest possible molecules in a reasonable length of time and under conditions commonly found in home or commercial compost systems.
Did you know?
Though many products are labeled compostable these days, that doesn’t mean they’ll actually compost. Compostable items need access to air, light, water, and microbes to break down. These aren’t readily available in most overstuffed landfills.
Beyond food scraps, things like tea bags, newspapers, lint, hair and nail clippings, and even some diapers are technically compostable.
There are many different ways to compost—from a pile in the yard to a box full of worms (aka vermicomposting).
The EPA states that organic materials like food scraps and yard trimmings are the largest component of our trash and solid waste. Composting is a great way to minimize what’s in our landfills!

Paraben Free ▸
x
No parabens, antibacterial chemical preservatives linked to cancer, endocrine disruption, neurological and immune effects, and other disorders.
Did you know?
Parabens are synthetic preservatives. There are many natural ways to preserve products without them.
The FDA says parabens are the most widely used cosmetic and personal care preservatives. You may see them listed on labels as methylparaben, propylparaben and butylparaben.
Parabens have been found in breast tumors but the FDA says they don’t cause cancer.
Some of the preservatives used to replace parabens—including formaldehyde—are no safer for human health. Reading labels is always wise.

Cruelty Free ▸
x
Generally indicates that no animal testing has been conducted for the product or its ingredients by the manufacturer, its laboratories, or its suppliers. Leaping Bunny also offers cruelty-free certification.
Did you know?
A little hopping bunny on a label means it has been third-party certified cruelty-free. This indicates there has been no testing on animals and no animals were harmed in making the product.
Cruelty-free and vegan are not the same; vegan is an unregulated claim suggesting no animal byproducts are in the product. Cruelty-free covers animal testing.
The European Union has a ban on animal testing (the first stage of which took effect in 2009, the next phase is due in 2013). We have no similar ban in the United States.

|
Petroleum Free ▸
x
No ingredients derived from petroleum or petrochemicals.
Did you know?
Petroleum is used to make lipsticks shine, cream smooth, and to create a barrier on skin, among other things.
When reading labels in an effort to avoid petroleum in your personal care products, don’t look for the word petroleum. It’s rarely listed this way. Keep an eye out for paraffin wax, mineral oil, petrolatum, and propylene glycol. Many scents and fragrances are also petroleum-derived.
Proponents of avoiding petroleum in personal care products say it disrupts the way the body naturally detoxifies by not letting the skin breathe. Some say it also slows cell renewal rate and ages skin.

Dye and Color-Additive Free ▸
x
No synthetic dyes, chemical food coloring, or other artificial colorants. Any color apparent in the product is naturally derived.
Did you know?
There are currently 7 petrochemical-derived artificial colors allowed in food today in the United States. Some of these are banned in other countries.
Artificial coloring has been linked to adverse health effects. Certain food dyes have been known to trigger allergies and they have also been said to aggravate ADD and ADHD symptoms.
Some companies make two kinds of the same food—one dyed for the U.S. market and one without banned dyes for the E.U. A widely noted example of this is Kraft’s macaroni and cheese.
Natural foods tend to contain dyes derived from edible substances and plants including blueberries, carrots, and annatto.

Recycled Packaging ▸
x
The packaging the product comes in is made from recycled materials.
|
|
High Efficiency Compatible ▸
x
Compatible with high efficiency (HE) appliances.
Did you know?
High efficiency washers can use up to 70 percent less water than traditional washers.
HE machines require specific detergents. The suds created by regular detergents will shut down the HE mechanisms.
Some HE top-loaders hold more laundry than regular top-loaders--up to 20 pounds or more!
HE machine’s higher spin speed means they extract more water before clothing goes into the dryer. This reduces drying time and energy consumption.

·
·
·
|
Reusable ▸
x
The product can be reused for its original purpose multiple times or repurposed for a new use when that original life cycle ends.
Did you know?
Reusable items have many benefits, including that they keep extra stuff out of our overstuffed landfills.
A reusable item cuts back on manufacturing needs, reducing greenhouse gasses and other associated issues.
Not all reusable items are created equal. The best are durable and made from tried and true materials that can be recycled at the end of their useful life.

|
|
Hypoallergenic ▸
x
This unregulated term suggests the product contains no known allergens, isn’t likely to cause adverse reactions, and has significantly lower reaction rates compared to similar non-hypoallergenic products.
|
Safe for Septic Tank ▸
x
Safe for use with a septic tank.
Did you know?
A septic system is a tricky thing. Whatever you flush has to be safe for use in them or things can backfire. Repairs are not cheap, depending on where you live and the condition of your system.
Properly designed tanks can have enough space for up to 3 to 5 years’ safe accumulation of sludge.
One-fourth of U.S. homes are said to use septic systems. Inadequately treated ones can case groundwater contamination.

Natural ▸
x
Though natural has no government or official definition, we value the word. Greatly. To us it means purer, safer, from the earth. And that's not marketing hype, we promise. Our sellers do, too.
|
Supports a Developing Country ▸
x
Significant proceeds from the sale of the product support the economy of the developing country of origin via payment or other means.
Did you know?
The definition of a developing or developed country is largely based on things like GDP, standard of living, and per capita income, but there are no specific qualifications. Some are worse off than others.
The World Bank defines developing countries as those with a gross national income per capita of less than $11,905.
Some people don’t like the term “developing country” and prefer to use other language, like “least developed countries.”

"Interesting!" — DarleneI don't like washing all my clothes in soapnuts. Boy’s & guy’s clothes just get too dirty for me to think they are clean with just soapnuts. I experimented and it took 2- 3 washings to get stains and smell fresh. That is quite a waste of water and electric. On lightly worn clothes & outerwear like sweaters I think this is a great product. More (+)It does make the lightly worn clothes soft & leaves them smelling fresh. So I will still use them on lightly worn clothes and leave the heavy soiled clothes to other organic and earth friendly commercial detergent cleaners. Less (-)
