Soap Nuts - Mother Nature's Wondrous Gift. Is It True and What Do We Do?
Soap nuts lead the way to greener ways to clean. If you’re looking for a good green detergent for that new HE washer, or something eco-friendly for that old Maytag, They're a must. They're the purest "TRULY" natural detergent available. NaturOli recently received "the best eco-friendly detergent" recommendation by Examiner.com.
Why do I emphasize "truly"? Because greenwashing today is astonishing. Study labels. Learn how the truths are hidden. Labels are skillfully crafted to sell. Just because it looks or states green, natural, etc. means nothing. Drill deeper.
Soap nuts are changing how we think - and clean. They're bringing a new age to washing and cleaning. 100% natural, safe, anti-microbial, anti-fungal, hypoallergenic, fragrance free, biodegradable AND they work!
So, where's the skeleton in the closet? Are you skeptical? I was.
Other than the unorthodox traditional method of washing laundry, there’s simply no downside - not even economically. NaturOli is developing products that maintain the benefits of soap nuts - without changing HOW we typically wash or clean.
Sustainability? No issue. The mukorossi tree is prolific -producing harvests for nearly ninety years. Although most are wild-crafted, plantations are sprouting up. Since it grows well in poor soils, otherwise unproductive ground is being made productive.
Fair Trade? Are these little gems "blood diamonds"? No. Exporters are feverishly working on Fair Trade certifications. Villagers are making a living by harvesting the fruits and drying them for sale to exporters or for wages from co-ops.
A paradigm shift is nearing. I have a TRUE 90% green cleaning regime in my home. It's due to soap nuts. If you're unfamiliar with soap nuts and saponin (the active ingredient), you won't be soon. There's a growing movement that is recognizing the potential of these little beauties. Mother Nature created soap nuts. She points us in the right direction. We only need the good sense to follow her.

NaturOli Nuts Soap Nuts
I have tried four different North American suppliers for soap nuts, and without reservation I can say that NaturOli Nuts Soap Nuts are truly the highest quality I have found.
Their soap nuts are labeled as "hand select", and that's exactly what they are. Using soap nuts is so easy that anyone can do it, but sometimes measuring the right amount gets tough when half the bag is bits and pieces. That's not a problem with NaturOli's Soap Nuts. Theirs are almost completely whole soap nuts.
They have so much great information on their website too. It's not just the technical background about what soap nuts are and the regular ways to use them to replace chemical cleaners and laundry detergent.
Instead of just getting a prepackaged bag from their overseas suppliers they make sure that what you get is what you pay for. They sort the soap nuts right at their location in Arizona to be sure that only the best quality soap nuts go out to their customers.
They also offer a soap nut powder, but because they want their customers to live green and economically they suggest you can make the powder or a soap nuts liquid yourself and give you detailed instructions on how to do that.
This is a company that really cares, you can feel that when you visit their website and in the way the handle their customer service. Some soap nuts supplier in North America sell a green product but then don't carry the green concept all the way to the customer. NaturOli does it right from beginning to end, including using only recycled packaging for their shipping.
