How to Use
- Place the recommended number of soap nut shells into a reusable wash bag.
- Add the bag directly into your washing machine with your laundry.

Helpful Tip
For softer towels and linens, add a small amount of washing soda (soda crystals) to the detergent drawer. Instead of fabric softener, try adding white vinegar to the rinse cycle. If you enjoy a fresh scent, simply add a few drops of your favourite essential oil to the wash.
