Certainly we've all heard the alarms of 'bio-hazard' in our head when we reached in to pull out our arsenal of cleaning solutions. Interestingly, it is quite difficult finding an image of cleaning products without rubber gloves in the picture. That is certainly a good thing. If it were not for gloves our hands would be a scary site. Household chemical cleaners can be both horribly damaging to our skin and highly toxic to our body. Soap nuts offer a chemical free cleaning solution. However, if you can boil water, the basics of chemical free cleaning can be in your hands and at use in your home today!
Bring 10 to 15 half shells of soapnuts to boil in 1 litre water during 10 minutes, leave it to cool down and screen the obtained liquid. The decoction is now ready for use !
To obtain a higher saponine-concentrate decoction of soapnuts, use more « half shells » in the same water volume.
Preservation of a soapnuts decoction
Soapnuts decoction must be kept in a cool place to assure a conservation of about ten days if citric acid or lemon juice or essential oil is added.
Soapnuts shells already used in a washing machine or a dishwasher, can be recycled by making a decoction.
