It's not only highly effective but also very gentle and safe to use on even your most delicate articles of clothing including cashmere, wool and silk. Because it is mild and natural, it preserves the colors and the structure of your clothing longer than chemical detergents. It actually softens your clothing naturally to so you will no longer need to use laundry softener: The laundry turns out amazingly soft!

Soapnuts, on the other hand, contain no man-made ingredients and are 100% all natural making them great for people with allergies and skin conditions. Using soapnuts is easy, just place 3-6 shell halves in a cotton /muslin sack (muslin sack provided with every order from Nine Lucky Stars) or and old sock tied off works just as well. Then drop it in your washing machine with your dirty clothing. Just remember to remove it before drying. Thats it! Your clothes will turn out clean and fresh. If you prefer clean clothing with a nice scent you can add a few drops of your favorite essential oil such as lavender or lemon. You can apply the drops (2-4 does the trick) directly to the soapnut sack before dropping it in the washing machine. You can use that same soapnuts for up to 3-4 loads and you can reuse the sack over and over.  Soapnuts are all-natural, and are therefore healthier for you, your clothes and the environment.
