"I've been sniffing the armpits of my husbands work shirts and I was so sceptical of these.  I can't believe that they actually work.  My clothes and nappies are coming out so clean and fresh smelling.  I use a couple of drops of Lavender oil on the wash bag to fragrance my wash"  - Trudy, Auckland

"I was very open minded when I received my sample pack of Soap Nuts.  I couldn't really see how they would clean but I was really very keen to try a natural product.  Being a seller of Modern Cloth Nappies, we are always on the lookout for a washing detergent that doesn't cause a build up, as this is one of the common problems causing leaking iwth nappies.  I was surprised that the nappies came out feeling very soft, very much like I'ld put some softener in the wash!  They came out very clean with no smell.  I am very excited aobut htis product and can't wait to share it with my customers!" - Karyn Cray, Mother's Instinct

"I have sensitive skin and also a front loader washing machine, therefore I am very limited in the washing detergents I can use, and be kind on the environment.  I thought I would give the soap nuts a go.  I was very doubtful that it would do a decent job at cleaning the wash load as other 'natural' products I had tried were pretty useless.  I was stunned to discover my clothes have never smelt fresher an dthe colours and whites are just brilliant.  They do a great job on my daughters nappies too.  I boil up the soap nuts in 2 litres at a time and add a little lavender oil.  I then just add a cup in the soap dispernser with each wash." - Paula, Auckland

When my soap nuts/wash berries arrived I opened up the cloth bag dubiously to peek inside and find intriguing shiny brown nuts/berries.  Cracking them in half was easy to do without aid of a tool apart from my hands, I used 5 halves and washed my son's cloth nappies. I waited for the machine to fill and start washing, then opened the lid so that my son and I could peer in and see what these soap nuts/wash berries released into the water (saponin).  I expected to see suds or bubbles or something, I used nothing else but the nuts/berries, no softener and only stain spray on some clothes, when I didn't see suds my faith in these Indian imports was hampered HOWEVER I did a load of the families darks and whites.  I hung out my washing (when it goes on the line it normally comes in starchy).  I first noticed how much softer the cloth nappies felt when grabbing them off the line, whilst folding my mountain of clothes everything smelt clean (no fragrance but no unwanted odors) and felt clean. I trialled adding a few drops of oil to the bag and overall I am happy with or without the added fragrance.  I use only cold water washes so I can only imagine using warm would only get better, I am very pleased with the result of these little wonders. Thanks Scarecrow Farm for helping me get one step GREENER! Loving it.
