Soap Nuts are an incredible green/natural product that continues to fascinate me the more I learn. God supplied us with a fruit from His creation that cleans our laundry with no additives! It grows on trees! Just a simple dried nut placed in a small bag and thrown into your laundry! I am in awe of how He beautifully supplies all we need without any harsh chemicals.
Soap Nuts clean effectively without the addition of softeners. 100% natural, chemical-free, frangrance-free, biodegradable and hypoallergenic. Extremely low cost per load! I love how you can convert these soap nuts into a liquid detergent or a powder detergent or just use as they are – whatever method you prefer. Soap nuts are definitely the most natural and frugal laundry detergent option on the market!
Read more about them in my previous post here.
NaturOli has donated twenty 5-load sample packs of their soap nuts to giveaway to our readers! Horray! Now you can have an opportunity to try out this wonderful product. So we will have 20 winners on this one!
I have tried two different brands of soap nuts, Maggie’s Soap Nuts & NaturOli. I cannot even compare the two. Maggie’s are packaged overseas whereas NaturOli’s are carefully inspected and packaged in the States (without any plastic, I should add). Maggie’s came to me all sticky in a plastic bag, with some broken, chipped nuts, whereas NaturOli’s were beautifully dried and carefully selected. No stickiness whatsoever thus a far superior product. Another bonus…NaturOli’s are more reasonably priced!
This sample pack includes enough soap nuts for approximately 5 loads, a small wash bag, and an 8 page introduction & instruction pamphlet.

The soap nuts sound incredible! Please enter me in your drawing!!
Thanks for the opportunity to win some of these soap nuts. I’ve been hearing a lot about them recently and would love to give them a try!
I am fascinated! I’m definitely going to try these. I have a question though. Your Q&A seems to indicate that these are benign if taken internally, but one website I read said that they’re poisonous. I can appreciate that they are all natural as a cleanser, but I do have two littles who put everything in their mouths. Are they poisonous if ingested?
They are really too large to eat, but no, they are not poisonous…it is just not recommended to ingest them in large quantities.
Would love to be able to give them a try … I’m also interested in your homemade Borax-less laundry soap. Once I’m out of my current stuff will do so. We don’t have a dishwasher (unless you count the human-types) so I was interested to see that you have a recipe for dish soap also.
I have seen these in natural health food stores, never tired them but would like to.
I would love to try soap nuts!!Thanks for a great blog.
I can’t believe how amazing this sounds! God is soooooo good!

I heard about soap nuts a while back and was skeptical about trying them. But after reading your post and seeing that you really like them, I would love to try them too. Yes, isn’t God good. He has provided all our needs and it is sad that we have been led astray to use harsh chemicals and toxins in our homes all these years. Thanks Lindsey for all your hard work in researching safe and effective products for us to use. You are a blessing.
These are so interesting and I would love to win a sample!! I love your blog!

I was just telling my husband about soap nuts yesterday. As he works with foresters, it was interesting that they can be sustainably harvested.
Love to try them!

I recently decided to try making my own detergent with Borax, but before I could even get the box open I started reading why that might not be such a good idea. I have been dying to try these soap nuts! I was actually reading up on them a little earlier today, and I was so excited when I foudn your giveaway!
What a wonderful giveaway! After reading your post about Borax, I’m glad to see there are some natural alternatives.
Thank you!
Hi I found your link through a friends’ blog who raves about soap nuts. I am highly allergic to…pretty much everything! One huge problem is laundry detergent and if I don’t wash my clothes and sheets in very specific ways I itch and itch and itch. I would love to try these out and see if my problems can be fixed!
I already posted the link on my blog. Hopefully people take advantage of this opportunity.
