Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Maggie's Soap Nuts 20 load tub
Customer Review: Perfect for Handwashing Laundry!
Summary: 5 Stars
I decided to handwash laundry in my bathtub instead of having my personal garments ruined again by commercial machines at the local laundromat. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone unless you keep your bathtub ridiculously sanitized & spotless. Laundry detergents are harsh on my sensitive hands, I don't like to wear gloves, and hard water is another problem.
So I got the following things: a clear plastic banker storage box to wash 2 full outfits or 6-9 pieces every other day or so, a new polished plastic toilet plunger (its insane but sterilized it in pure Clorox + boiling water days prior to using) to "agitate" the wash. Got the white metal clothes rack from Target to air dry clothes in bathtub. Bought ECOVER detergent + softener (Great natural products sold by Amazon but I found them cheaper at my local "green" market) Bought the Soap Nuts from Amazon, read the soap nuts reviews, instructions from box + their website (this product has endless, multiple uses) but decided to do my own thing and I'm happy with the results.
Soap nuts box came with a cotton sack for use. I didn't bother with it. I took a clean, 1/2 gallon plastic milk container. Dropped 2 soap nuts in it & filled (and refilled as needed) with hot or warm tap water to then shake and pour into banker box with clothes 'til all were covered in thin layer of soapy nutty water. Poured 1/2 ounce of ECOVER detergent, plunged with plunger for 3 mins (sometimes left clothes soaking overnight). Then rinsed the wash repeatedly with tap water 'til it all drained clear. In final rinse, I used soap nut solution alone with 1/2 oz of ECOVER softner, plunged more, drained and hung all to dry. Whites came out super clean. For white wash only, I added 2 oz of vinegar with 3 oz of peroxide directly to the clothes' water. Stains were pre-treated w/ Clorox Bleach pen or Tide-To-Go pen depending on garment care. For color wash, nothing else but soap nutty solution & an ECOVER detergent & softner. My clothes air-dried super soft, visibly clean (better than machine washed) and with a fresh clean scent. Yippie!!!
I used & reused the same soap nuts. Always had them soaking in the 1/2 gal plastic milk container FILLED to the top with tap water and closed airtight with container's cap to avoid the funky nutty odor. Also, the soap nuts work when white foamy suds appear while refilling & shaking container. If not, it's time to replace. Thought laundry by hand (& plunger) would be a pain, but thanks to the soap nuts (& ECOVER), it's been a better experience than finding my clothes dirtier or damaged in washer or dryer. Saves energy & money too.
