Liquid soap nuts
From lurkmore wiki
Soap nuts, soapnuts, soapberries, etc are names for Sapindus the species of shrub of which the drupe (fruit pulp) is used to make soap.
6 cups of purified or distilled water + more to top up
12 soap nuts
- Crush the berries before boiling to release as much of the saponins as possible. Crushing the berries in a muslin bag will make it easier to crush and won't leave a mess.
- Boil two berries for every one cup of water for 30 minutes, you can leave the berries in the muslin bag (or just let them roam free). Regularly top up the water as it evaporates.
- Allow the water to cool then strain the solution. Store in a jar in the refrigerator.
Usage: 1-3 ounces per load, depending on HE or not.
Use the leftover soap nuts in the muslin bag in the washer for one load of laundry.
