I have personally never tried these but my aunt swears by "soap nuts" which are berries with naturally occurring soap-like properties. You just toss them in with your clothes, and you can use them for a few washes each.
i would love some soap nuts for laundry. they are cheaper to use and easier to use and store than laundry detergent which i am out of. im unemployed and i dont have a lot of funds so this would really help me!

Clean laundry relaxes me LOL yes I really am that simple

Have you ever used Soap Nuts I bought some a couple months ago when I was researching the best organic free and clear detergents. They work really well and you can make a liquid out of it and use it aa a shampoo, cleanser, and cleaning products like glass cleaner. The only problem is that I have forgotten that the little baggie of soap nuts were in the wash and threw it into the dryer with the rest of the clothes. But it didn't seem to hurt anything. Puracy is my favorite liquid laundry detergent and it has a pump , so it's doesn't make a mess and is nice and easy.
