Soap nuts – this is how they work!

Here we quickly show and explain how laundry nuts / soap nuts / washing nuts work and how you use them instead of regular detergent in the washing machine!


Our friend Peder was kind enough to do a test where he washed with laundry nuts in one machine and with regular detergent (powder from a regular grocery store) in another.


He lives in an apartment building and was able to use two identical washing machines at the same time in the large laundry room.


He made stains with different foods on a duvet cover that he divided into two parts – i.e. both pieces of fabric were of the same material and washed the same number of times before they were stained with the same foods.

Organic laundry nuts can be ordered from Västerbottenssåpa in both bulk and as a starter kit with instructions and a storage bag in organic linen.
