Soapnuts Reviews

I discovered this product having been sent a free sample of some eco friendly disposable nappies. I have two children in nappies at the moment although I'm currently working on getting my two year old out of them during the day time. Anyway, I like these nappies and so I had a good look at the catalogue that was sent with them. There were lots of ...  Read the complete review

I first read about soapnuts sometime ago and made a mental note to check them out however my memory failed and I completely forgot all about it, until I came across reference to them in a book I recently read. Not wanting to let the grass grow I logged onto the inasoapnutshell website and ordered a free sample of them. Now I would like to stress ...  Read the complete review

I bought a bag of soap nuts after stumbling on a review of them on this very site! I was sold on the idea of cheaper, eco friendly washing and when I found a 500g bag for £7 on the Soapnut Shell website I thought it was worth a go. Previously I was spending £8-£10 a month on washing powder and conditioner. Well, I'm a convert! Each bag ...  Read the complete review

Like millions of others I am concerned about the state of the environment and where possible I recycle and reuse. My husband thinks I'm crazy so you can imagine his dipleasure when I told him I've found this new washing thing, soapnuts. What he didn't realise was that we has been using them for the last week and he had noticed no ...  Read the complete review

Reading several reviews about Soapnuts and how good they were both at washing and for the environment, plus you could save money on expensive detergents I decided to order my sample nuts, which were free of charge apart from postage and packing of 75p. :: Background :: I had never heard of this product so before parting with ...  Read the complete review

I had read a few reviews about soapnuts and was curious about them so decided to log onto www.inasoapnutshell.com to order a sample of 8 soapnuts for just 75p postage and packing. My sample arrived just a few days later and I was keen to see what they were like. My package contained 8 soapnuts, which are about the size of a walnut in a ...  Read the complete review

I was first introduced to soapnuts a few years back by a member of a green living internet forum that I used to frequent. I was very sceptical as the lady explained to me that soapnuts are grown on trees in India and Nepal. The nuts themselves are used in the pharmaceutical industry and it was actually the shells which we were talking about. The ...  Read the complete review

I was a little unsure about trying soap nuts and was quite sceptical about how well they could work having never seen them in shops and I have never known anyone who has used them - my thinking was if they are so great why isn't everyone using them? I am a sucker for freebie sites and whilst searching for some goodies a week or two ago ...  Read the complete review

I have recently tried soapnuts for the very first time having been tempted by the offer of a sample amount weighing 25gms, for which I only had to pay 75p postage and packing. I first heard about soapnuts a few months ago and, to be honest, did not think they could possibly work, so the free sample offer gave me the perfect opportunity to try them ...  Read the complete review

Soap nuts an amazing alternarive to washing detergents. I use Samu soap nuts but have tried many other retailers of them and they are all the same. I alternate between Ecover Liquid and Soap Nuts. I normally put the bag with the soap nuts directly in on a 40 degree wash and the clothes really do come out cleaner. I sometimes put a little shake of ...  Read the complete review

My experience of soap nuts is in the liquid form, not the actual soap nuts that you put in a bag, then in the washing machine. I have been interested in trying them for a while, as they are environmentally friendly. I saw the liquid while in Lakeland, and it was on special offer, at around £3.99 for 1.5 litres, down from the original price of ...  Read the complete review

I have been trying to lessen my impact on the planet since long before it became the cool thing to do and I have recently found a new way of doing this. Soapnuts first came to my attention when I was searching for information about greener ways to do my washing and all the links I found on Google kept coming back to Soapnuts. I found ...  Read the complete review

Alright, I have to admit it. When I opened the pack of soap nuts I'd bought from my nearest hippy store, I was a bit dismayed to find a bunch of little squashed spheres, bearing a striking resemblance to kangaroo poo and smelling strongly of creosote. This was entirely my own fault. I'd seen - and ignored - all the signs. First of all, they ...  Read the complete review

I do try hard to recycle as much as I can, not use plastic bags when I go shopping, and using eco-friendly products around my home as much as I can. So when I saw a website advertising Soapnuts, I did a little research into them and was so impressed with what I found out that I decided I would order a sample of them, and try them. Now I have used ...  Read the complete review
