This is a great little bit of information if you live in the E. Valley. BabyHalfOff has a great sale – today only 4/20. I realize we don’t have much time left in today but….. it’s still possible to grab it.
You can get their Eco Nuts Natural Laundry Soap (200 loads) for just $12.00 – that breaks down to $0.06/load.
If you aren’t familiar with Soap Nuts, you can read more HERE in my last post. I picked up a Daily Deal a few months ago on ethicalDeal and we are using those Soap Nuts in our home to wash clothes now (until I run out) – they’re extremely different than using liquid detergent, but they work great for us because we have very sensitive skin.
This is an amazing price – for those of you considering making the leap, OR, who may want to try them out. Pick up is FREE here in Mesa at their Warehouse location too – an added plus!

Soap Nuts are a totally dried fruit with natural cleaning properties. You can use them to clean your laundry. They are the fruit of a tree found mostly in the Himalayas…… and an excellent alternative to regular detergent & cleansers.
We make our own detergent as well – and so Soap Nuts are really quite similar in that they are more of an alternative. They are 100% natural, and they are organically grown – free of harsh chemicals and very very gentle. Great for those of you with Eczema, or Psoriasis, great for babies, perfect for septic systems.
They are biodegradable – and also low-sudsing, so they CAN be used in HE systems. The outer shell of Soap Nuts holds “saponin” – a natural substance known for it’s ability to cleanse & wash items.
They’re new to the American culture… Which is why you haven’t heard of them too much. Using them goes something like this:
- You put 3-5 little Acorn-looking nuts in your little cotton drawstring bag – which comes with an order of Soap Nuts
- Pull the top closed, add any essential oil (3-5 drops) on the outside of the bag (I use Cotton Essential Oil)
- Put it in the washer, in the actual DRUM, not the drawer! Wash clothes on warm or hot.
Then you remove the bag before your clothes go in the dryer. You can re-use the Soap Nuts again – and if you don’t have any more loads to do, just set them to the side, let them dry, and then use on your next load. After the little bag has been used 4-5 times, you can compost, then start new. If you mistakingly dry them, just toss back in the wash next cycle. To see if they have any “life” left, you just get them wet & squeeze them.. if there is soap sudsing-power left, they’ll soap up a bit.
