EcoNuts

EcoNutsEcoNuts

EcoNuts are made from soap berries that naturally remove odors, are a natural soap, are anti-bacterial, etc. I have used them and found them to be very effective. Made from organic eco nuts. The liquid detergents also contain food grade preservatives and vegetable glycerin. The preservatives have a comparable toxicity to table salt (so not much). The most natural way I have found that is convenient, makes my clothes smell clean, and contains no chemicals. You can also buy the nuts themselves and use them to wash clothes (I also use in the dishwasher). It also makes your clothes super soft. Saponin in the eco nuts (occurs naturally) is what does all the cleaning! Shown to the left are two eco nut products. Click the images to be directed to amazon
