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.

I would love to win some soap nuts! I have been intrigued by them for a while and this is a great opportunity to try them. Thanks for a great giveaway – so glad I’ve found your blog!

I would love to win some soap nuts. I had never heard of them until I had read about them awhile back on your blog.
You have great information on natural living and I love that you approach it with a God-centered perspective. I’d love to try these. Thanks!
I’d love to give them a try!
I would love to win a sample pack of these! Thanks!
These sound wonderful. I do SO much laundry and I have a daughter with eczema so I have to be extremely careful with what I use to wash her clothes…
I would love to try soap nuts! I have been making powder laundry soap for a year now and love it. Thank for all your natural info on your blog. How do soap nuts do for people with sensitive sking?
OOOOH, soapnuts! I’ve been interested in them since I first heard about them last fall.
I have always wanted to try soapnuts. Thanks for the opportunity!
Thanks for the contest! I am curious to try soap nuts!
Here’s my little entry! I have 4 children, three of whom are allergic to many things, detergent being one of them. We can’t even use Charlies! So soap nuts seem like a great thing for us to try.
I would love to try these out before purchasing them!
I have heard of soap nuts before, but haven’t tried them. They sound really interesting!
Is there a difference between organic and non-organic soap nuts?
Jill
No. Soap nut trees grow in the wild and thus not subject to pesticides or chemical sprays. Secondly, bugs don’t like soap nuts anyway, so there is no need for chemicals.
I’ve always wanted to try these…..thanks for the review also!
I hear these are good for people with eczema, which my 2 yr old has. thanks!
Wow, Lindsey, those sound really neat! I would love to try some.
Also, thank you so much for you terrific blog. Though I’m still living with my wonderful parents and siblings, I enjoy reading your entries (though I’ve only recently discovered your blog and am still catching up on past posts), finding things to implement now, and storing up ideas for when I, Lord willing, manage a home of my own. =)
Blessings!

Sounds refreshing to have a natural way to get the laundry clean! Love your ideas and generosity for sharing them with your readers. Thank you. I’ve just started reading your blog this spring and I’m hooked.
I just ordered some of these as we have a front loader and our own septic system. These look like they might fit the budget very nicely! I’m also recommending them to our Ghanaian missionary friends to take back home with them this summer.
I would love to give these a try! Thanks!
Thanks for all the great info you share
I’d like to try these. Thanks for sharing this valuable information!
wow, I have been intrigued ever since you talked abotu them awhile ago. Would be awesome to try them out, thanks for the chance!

Oooo…a compostable alternative to regular laundry soap – how neat!

What better way to try soap nuts than from a giveaway!!! Blessings!
Thanks so much for a chance to win.
Happy to try the soap nuts if you want to send them my way.
After first reading about these on your site, I told my husband about them. He was intrigued as was I, but we couldn’t bring ourselves to shell out $$ for just an experiment. I would love to win some so I can try them out before actually buying them.
I would love to give soap nuts a try. Thanks.
I would love to try these on my cloth diapers. Thanks for hosting this!
Want to win them so bad, I had to put the giveaway info on my blog… thanks!

Soap nuts! I’ve been dying to try these out!
Oh, I really want to start using these! Thanks so much!

Thanks for all the info on these! I, too, have been making my own laundry detergent from borax, etc., and your previous post made me rethink this. I have tried soap nuts once but hadn’t found a source with a good price. I’ll give NaturOli a try.
