Nuts are hypoallergenic; gently wash the most delicate and delicate fabrics, preserve the color of the linen during washing, do not require softener and rinse aid, completely decompose in the environment; easy to use, multifunctional, economical, reused.
In order for the saponins to be released from the nuts in the maximum amount, the shells of the nuts are crushed beforehand. Then the shells are placed in a cotton bag, and the bag is placed in the drum of the washing machine along with the laundry. The number of shells required depends on the water hardness and the washing temperature. On average, 4 to 7 shells are required (the number of applications is 2-3 times).

The resulting solution can be used as shampoo, liquid soap, pet shampoo, dish and other cleanser.
