Soap Nuts - natural laundry soap

[Jopo]

Haven't tried myself but looks interesting http://www.betterlifegoods.com/Produ...BLG%2DCAT21480

I'd like to try them too, does anybody know where you can get these in Canada?

Just found out about these yesterday, you can get them here: http://www.soapnuts.ca/

It'd like to see some third party reviews and/or a real scientific analysis of why this "soap nut" actually works before I put it in with my clothes.

If I have to throw away a shirt because these soap nuts ruined it then that doesn't help anyone.

i CHECKED OUT THE PRICES TO SW ONTARIO, AFTER SHIPPING,
33.90 FOR 10 OZ. FROM SOAPNUTS CANADA
29.95 FOR 1KG FROM BETTER LIFE GOODS
ABOUT 1/4 THE PRICE.
I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE ANY GOOD THO.

[jr!]

do those prices include S&H?

The over-hyping of the "threat" posed by laundry detergents put me off.

Also I'd be careful if you have hard water. Real soap (as opposed to detergent) falls down in hard water.

Many regular laundry soaps are biodegradable, so I don't see the problem with using that.
