Laundry Soap Nuts are an eco-friendly alternative to laundry detergent. These soap nuts come from the Sapindus Mukorossi tree, which is native to Nepal and India. Simply use 2-3 nuts in a small cotton bag when washing with hot water and 4-5 nuts in cold water. Gentle on skin, great for baby clothes.
