Maggie's Soap Nuts Review - Not Great On Stains

Pearl has shared her experiences and opinions with Maggie's Soap Nuts.

Pearl says:

I used these soap nuts for a couple of months because I received them as a gift from a friend who knows I enjoy all sorts of natural and organic products.

At first I questioned if this was a joke - surely it was not possible to clean things with these weird little nuts. When I was sure they were for real, I decided to try them for washing a load of clothes.

I chose to wash some everyday clothing like t-shirts and sweats for the first load just in case they did something horrible to my clothes. Following the directions that came with the product I put two of the soap nuts in the included cotton sack and added it to the wash.

I decided to go with the warm water instructions but if you choose to use cold water you must use four nuts.

To my surprise the clothes came out pretty clean and nice smelling. However the soap nuts do not do much for stains.

I would recommend Maggie’s Soap Nuts as an eco-friendly and hypoallergenic alternative for everyday washing but be warned if you have stubborn stains you will have to use a different product.

Thanks Pearl for sharing your review of this product.

I think a lot of people are like you when they first hear about soap nuts, and wonder, are these for real? It is so beyond what we normally think of as laundry detergent that people tend to be pretty skeptical.

I appreciate your review, because it really helps people know what to expect from the product.

In addition to selling the actual nuts, I know that Maggie's also makes a liquid version that is ready to use. Here is a review of this version I received.

Has anyone used soap nuts, in either this brand or another one? If so, please share your soap nuts review here, telling me your experiences with them. In addition, you can read other reviews that have already been submitted.
