Natural Laundry Detergent & Green Cleaning

  • Mar 24

    Well, just when you think there’s nothing else new in soap nuts NaturOli finds yet another way to add soap nuts to your life while replacing harmful chemicals with natural alternatives.

    The lastest is a handmade soap nuts soap bar. Now how cool a thing is that?

    I have already ordered a few for myself, because I know how amazing soap nuts are in regular form, as soap nuts liquid, soap nuts powder, and of course the new soap nuts liquid laundry soap Extreme 18X from Naturoli. I’m sure I will love this soap nuts soap bar just as much.

    What NaturOli has done is incorporate their proprietary soap nuts liquid concentrate and finely ground soap nuts powder into a natural hand made soap bar.

    Now of course a company that started with all things olive as the foundation for their natural skin care has to combine their roots with their newest mission of telling the world about the benefits of soap nuts.

    As they say on their site “This limited edition, handmade, cold-pressed bar is for those who wish to explore both the wonderful worlds of soap nuts and olive oil soaps in one very unique blend. Pure Sapindus Mukorossi soap nuts powder allows for mild exfoliation. Enhanced with rich, healthy oils and natural ingredients to cleanse and nourish your skin.”

    Their soap nut soap bar is both rich in antioxidants and anti-bacterial. There are no synthetic fragrances or dyes. They’ve added rich natural oils for the skin, and rosemary oil for enhanced natural anti-bacterial protection.

    Pretty cool looking too, don’t you think? Those little flecks you see are the soap nuts powder.

    Soap nuts liquid is convenient for people who prefer a liquid detergent. It’s also a great liquid hand soap, although adjusting to low sudsing can take some time.

    One of the things most people who boil soap nuts liquid at home often wonder about is the shelf life.

    Anyone who has experience with water based botanicals knows that fermentation and bacterial growth can occur. However, there are ways to extend the shelf-life of your homemade soap nuts liquid.

    • Increase the concentration – use more soap nuts and less water or boil soap nuts powder to extract the maximum amount of saponin from the soap nuts
    • Strain your soap nuts liquid through a super fine strainer so you have almost no sediment
    • Refrigerate your soap nuts liquid as soon as it is cool.
    • Freeze the liquid in old ice cube trays – measure the amount of liquid first so you know how much you are using when you drop the cubes into the washer (or you can thaw them prior to using them)
    • Can the soap nuts liquid like you would homemade preserves.
    • Add sea salt to the liquid. It will help with fermentation (bread bakers know this trick) it will also help to whiten your whites when you use the liquid. It works by absorbing moisture from the cells of bacteria and mold through osmosis, which kills them or leaves them unable to reproduce.
    • Use a vacuum sealing system for packaging soap nuts liquid.

    Another alternative if you simply don’t have time to make soap nuts lqiuid frequently or are concerned about the shelf-life of your homemade liquid is to purchase Extreme 18X NaturOli’s new soap nuts liquid laundry concentrate.

    NaturOli has already taken the guess work out of soap nuts liquid shelf-life. Their new Extreme 18X soap nuts liquid concentrate has a two year shelf-life. Even though it is packaged as a liquid laundry detergent concentrate you can use it in all the ways you’d use homemade soap nuts liquid, by diluting as needed.

    I used it in my carpet cleaner and mopped my laminate floors with it. I put 1 tsp in carpet cleaner, and 1/2 tsp in the mop bucket with warm water and was very pleased with the results from both experiments.
