Everything old is new again, and that includes how you do laundry. You may not have heard of Soap Nuts yet, but as an inexpensive, all-natural, biodegradable and perfectly sustainable cleanser, you'll soon be thanking yourself for adding this traditional alternative to your modern routine. 

Soap nuts, also known as soapberries, are natural cleaning agents that contain saponin, a natural surfactant that can be used for various cleaning purposes. While often just used for laundry, here are a few recipes for using our soap nuts around the house and within your personal care routine.

Remember the recipes in the links below use natural ingredients and the cleaning power might be more gentle to the commercial products you're used to. Adjust the soap nut quantities and steeping times based on your preferences for each application. Also, perform a patch test on your skin to ensure you don't have any adverse reactions to the soap nut solutions.
