What Maggie's Pure Land says:
Maggie’s Soap NutsTM are the only laundry soap that grows on trees! Truly effective, 100% natural and safe for your most sensitive skin. Soap NutsTM are the dried fruit of the Chinese Soapberry tree. They contain saponin, a natural cleaner used for thousands of years to clean clothes, just like the plants used by Native Americans for washing. Simply put a few Soap Nuts into the included cotton sack and drop it in your laundry. Your clothes come out clean, vibrant, and soft. Replace your laboratory detergents and softeners with the soap made from Nature by Nature. Your clothes, your skin, your family, and your planet will thank you.
How to Use:
Nuts: Put Maggie’s Soap Nuts into the included, reusable cotton sack. Tie it closed. Add the sack to your washing machine and follow clothing manufacturer instructions. Return Soap Nuts to the earth by adding them to your compost! It’s that simple!
Special Hint: In cold water your nuts will last up to twice as long, use them until they no longer feel slippery when wet. Happy Washing!
Liquid: Use 1 oz. for normal loads of laundry. Use more for heavy soils or extra large loads. Less for light loads.
Maggie’s Soap Nuts naturally soften and add body to your clothes. You’ll love how your clothes feel after washing with Maggie’s Soap Nuts.
At Maggie’s Pure LandTM we promise to act in harmony with life and nature. Our commitment to compassionate living provides you with the most natural products available, provides fair wages to workers, and protects our animal friends by never testing on them. We also donate 10% of our net proceeds to groups that improve the lives of mothers, children, and support a happy, Pure Planet Earth. You can preserve Pure Land by spreading the good news! Tell your friends about Maggie’s Soap Nuts’ natural clean! I began Maggie’s Pure Land at my wee cottage in Big Sur, California. For me, Pure Land is a life practice - the practice of being clean, balanced and harmonious with nature in the body, heart and soul. I’m excited to share my vision of a clean, green, compassionate planet with you!"
What we thought: Okay, so I was skeptical, but in efforts to be kinder to the Earth and to my family's skin, I decided to try these out. I am so glad I did! Maggie's Pure Land has made a believer out of me:) Our clothes feel so much softer after using the soap nuts and I especially love the convenience of the liquid! You don't really get a burst of scent from your laundry like you do with commercial detergents, but in my opinion, that is part of the problem with regular detergents(what works for us is a drop of lavender oil on the dryer sheet...a nice relaxing scent:) I love knowing Maggie's is good for my family, my Earth and my wallet:) ABCD Diaries gives Maggie's Soap Nuts an A!
