Ecozone Soap Nuts 300g
Product number: 46143
It’s not often you find a cleaning product that only contains 1 ingredient, but that’s exactly what you’re getting with EcoZone’s Soap Nuts. Grown on trees, soap nuts are a completely natural and effective way of cleaning your clothes, with no abrasive chemicals in sight. The shells of these wonder nuts (although they’re actually berries) contain Mother Nature's detergent, called saponin, a natural surfactant which creates a gentle foam that effectively removes dirt from your clothes while keeping colours bright and looking their best. Better still, the skin-friendly saponin even makes your clothes nice and soft, so you don’t need to add fabric softener. Complete with a zipped washbag to hold your soap nuts, you have everything you need to tackle laundry day.
Easy to use
Simply place 4-5 nuts (depending on the size of the load) into the bag and place on top of your laundry in the machine – that’s it! It really couldn’t be simpler. Once your load is done, and you’ve taken out your clean, fresh clothes, remove the bag and leave the nuts to dry as you can use them 4 more times before they need to be discarded – they’re completely biodegradable so won’t be troubling landfill.
Kind to clothes… and you
As there are no harsh chemicals or bleach in soap nuts, they’re suitable to use on all your clothes, including delicate silk and wool items, and baby clothes. You can even use them to hand-wash clothes that are too delicate to go into the washing machine – just place the bag, with the nuts inside, into warm water and wait for a few minutes until the soap is released, then add your clothes and wash as normal.
Soap nuts are the ideal washday solution for people with sensitive skin too, as they’re free from all the usual synthetic chemicals and perfumes often found in most commercial detergents.
Kind to the environment
We’re all becoming increasingly aware of the negative impact certain chemicals and plastics can have on the environment, but you can wash away all those fears with soap nuts, as they release no harsh chemicals into the environment. As the nuts are provided for us by Mother Nature, they can be returned to her too. Once you’ve finished with your soap nuts, simply pop them onto your compost heap. The packaging and wash-bag can also be recycled.
Soap nuts are effective at low temperatures, so you keep your energy usage to a minimum too.
Kind to your purse
Each 100g bag of soap nuts will last you up to a whopping 100 washes, making them a much cheaper alternative to expensive tablets and powders that need replacing more often. You’ll also save money on fabric softener, as soap nuts naturally soften your garments.
Did you know?
Soap nuts, also known as soapberries, grow on Sapindus Genus trees and are part of the Lychee family. Not a new trend by far, soap nuts have been used for thousands of years for their natural fabric cleaning qualities.

These are brilliant and clean the clothes really well even though I have very hard water. I get approx 3 washes out of each set of nuts depending on the wash temperature . I pre treat any stains with a spray and when washing whites I just add a scoop of Bio D nappy fresh. I do not add any fabric conditioner but have been told by a friend who also uses the soap nut to add white vinegar to the fabric conditioner draw to act as a softener.
I ordered these as I’m trying to be more eco friendly.I calculated they SAVE me 0.12p per wash. That’s a lot and it all adds up! I also use a antibacterial cleanser in each wash and vinegar as softener.
These have worked really well for us. I’d only planned to give them a go for towels as I was dubious they’d be up to the job for all my laundry. I thought one or two washes per week would at least make a small difference to the environment. I haven’t had any problems the other reviewers have and I’ve used for more than towels. They clean underwear & tshirts perfectly well. They don’t foam much in the wash and you have to live without the strong smell of softener. Wet washing smells of nothing which is no bad things. I’m really pleased & they’ll go on the compost heap when they’re spent.
I can't be sure that these lasted 100 washes. In a hard water area so needed the higher number. Used specifically for towels and sheets with no softener. These items were clean enough and smelt ok (no scent so can add essential oil to tumble dryer if using). My only gripe is that the bag that you put them in doesn't keep them in - so i end up with bits everywhere so put them in lingerie bag instead. I didn't use in the normal clothes washing, to be honest if just freshening clothes that have been worn but aren't stained they would be fine - i tried with whites and stained t-shirt didn't clean.
