Soapnuts

This is just a quick post to tell you about Indian soapnuts. I've discovered them a few weeks ago watching a program on TV5 (the french channel around the world) about environmentally friendly products. The shell of these nuts are covered with saponine which is a natural washing detergent. I've decided to give it a try and I am really pleased with it. The soapnuts have a vinegar smell but the laundry does not smell after the wash. I gave some to friends to try and so far the feedback is excellent. I promise, I am not paid by any company to say that ! I bought 1kg, it is suppose to be enough for a year if you do 3-4 washing machine/week.
For people living in the UK, I bought mine there. I am sure you can find them easily anywhere.
We can all do a little something for the environment ! :0)
