No – definitely Soap Nuts. Have you heard about these? It’s a natural soap, used mainly in this country for laundry, though you can find premade products for other uses. I saw them mentioned on a message board and decided to look into them. \"soapnuts11\"<\/p>\n

This is what Wikipedia has to say:<\/p>\n

“Soap nuts contain saponin, a natural detergent which is used to clean clothes. Soap nuts have become popular as an environmentally friendly alternative to manufactured, chemical detergents . A few nuts can be placed in a cotton drawstring bag in with a washload and reused several times. Soap nuts are safe for washing silk, woolens and other delicate fabrics.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n\"soapnuts\"I don’t know what to expect, but people who use them seem completely sold. If they last as well as advertised, they are quite economical too.

I will let you know how they worked for me sometime next week. Have a good day, my friends!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
