I am a huge fan of the simplicity and safety without excess waste of using soap nuts for all my laundry needs (including those cloth diapers)! Soap nuts grow on trees! We have discussed all the wonderful benefits of using soap nuts here and from our previous giveaway here, and now we want to introduce you to the liquid version! As I shared before, Soap Nuts are the only laundry soap that grows on trees, thus giving us the most sustainable and natural option out there. It is 100% safe and natural for the most sensitive skin. Soap nuts are the dried fruit of the Chinese Soapberry tree. They contain saponin, a natural cleaner. They are simply harvested, de-seeded, and then dried in the sun. Great for hard water and high efficiency machines. It is biodegradable, hypo-allergenic, brightens colors, low sudsing, and contains a natural fabric softener.
Now NaturOli offers another product that makes it even more simple and convenient to use soap nuts – enter Extreme 18X liquid detergent! You only have to use 1/2 teaspoon per load of laundry as it is a highly concentrated 18x potency. I have been experimenting with the Extreme 18X liquid detergent and I really love it. It cleans well, smells fresh and produces soft clothing. My tip: make sure to use a measuring spoon to measure it out per load. It is so easy to use too much when you simply squirt it into your washer. Extreme 18X works in your dishwasher as well! Simply squirt about 1/2 teaspoon in your dishwasher dispenser and away you go! I have also diluted it with water in a spray bottle for a gentle and effective household all-purpose cleaner with great success. This is a multi-purpose all natural alternative that avoids excess waste. See that picture on the left? Compare that weight and packaging and see how much better soap nuts are for our environment.
Now, you can win a sample of the Extreme18X liquid detergent! This sample offers you 1 ounce of
liquid detergent that will yield 12 high efficiency (HE) loads or 6 standard loads – or more! If you have been skeptical of the wonders of soap nuts, this is your opportunity to sample the most concentrated, effective, green laundry detergent on the market.
We have 20 sample trial bottles to give away today! So there will be 20 lucky winners of the Soap Nuts Extreme 18X laundry detergent!

I have not tried soapnuts yet but I’m amazed that there is such a thing! It doesn’t surprise me that God thought to create something for us to use to wash everything though! What a great find.
We love soap nuts. I actually just gave a friend some the other day and she is trying them right now. It worked out great, we were looking for something to replace the homemade detergent we use now (we want to get rid of the borax), and then I found these on your website. Thank you for posting all of this wonderful info.

I first heard about soapnuts just last week on the 4 little men blog. I’d love to give them a try! I’m paring down my cleaning products and would like something that was produced with as little packaging as possible (and with a 9 month old who is crawling, there’s just no need for so many bottles of random products in the house).
I have two boys in cloth diapers. I would LOVE to try this product.
Wow! I am expecting my 2nd child in November, and am going to use cloth diapers. I’ve been planning to buy soap nuts, and would LOVE to try this product!
I really enjoy your blog, a friend introduced it to me on Facebook, I would really like to try Soap Nuts, I haven’t heard of it until now. I’m not really creative (or daring) enough to try making my own laundry detergent, but I would love to save money by using the 18X Soap Nuts and using a product that comes from a natural source
I’ve never heard of it before but would love to try it!
