What are Soap Nuts?

Soap Nuts are actually not nuts at all. They are berries (also known as Soap Berries) that grow on trees in India and Nepal. There are two main varieties of Soap Nuts: sapindus trifoliatus (The Small Soap Nut) and (The Large Soap Nut). The Large Soap Nut is the most commonly used in cleaning (probably due to its size and ease of harvesting), but both varieties are quite effective.

How do Soap Nuts Work as a Detergent?

Soap Nuts contain large quantities of in their shells, which acts as a natural, gentle detergent when it comes into contact with water. Without added chemicals, fragrances or dyes, Soap Nuts are safe and gentle for handwashing delicates, yet tough enough for regular laundry. They will leave your laundry soft, clean and fragrance free, without the use of fabric softeners.

Will Soap Nuts Clean Difficult Items?

Most allergic reactions to soap are due to added chemicals and fragrance. Soap Nuts are naturally grown and chemical free. When we began using soap nuts for our , the eczema which I had across my chest and belly cleared up and has been gone now for 6 months. Soap Nuts are 100% non-allergenic.

How do I use Soap Nuts in my Laundry?

For Laundry Detergent, you can use Soap Nuts one of two ways:

1. Toss 2 or 3 Soap Nuts in a small Muslim bag (provided with most Soap Nuts orders) and throw it in with your laundry. (Make sure that you take the soap nuts out before putting your clothes in the dryer). The nuts will do 3 or 4 loads.

2. Boil 100 g of Soap Nuts in 12 cups (3L) of water for 30 minutes. The liquid you have is now a concentrated, chemical free detergent. The leftover shells can be placed in your compost. Use 3 Tbsp or 45 ml of this detergent with each load of laundry. This allows you to do approximately 60 loads of laundry. Not bad for under $10!

Try and purchase more than one in order to keep the best possible order around the home.

Washing your clothes is a chore which needs doing frequently. It is also a chore which not many people enjoy doing and it is something that can be extremely time consuming too. However there are things which can help you to organize the washing a and includes a laundry basket.

Why Two Laundry Baskets Are Often Better Than One

Whilst one laundry basket can help to keep things a little tidier, often it can become overflowing. This then makes washing seem a little more and o by having more than one basket you are allowing yourself to be extremely organized and washing will not seem as hard work as it could have been.

When purchasing laundry baskets, wicker ones tend to be extremely popular. They are light to carry and they come in a variety of different styles too. You can use a different laundry basket for different purposes. For example, you could have one basket for white washing, one for dark washing and one for bright colors. That way you know exactly what you are doing and you do not have to spend as long sorting through everything.



If you would prefer ultimate convenience then the best answer is a collapsible laundry basket. This would be ideal in places such as the kitchen and the bathroom as you can and cloths etc in them and because they are not always full you can easily them down and use them whenever they are needed to save space.

Finally you should have a separate basket, perhaps a plastic one, for collecting the laundry to do a wash. By collecting one plastic basket full of washing you know that you can wash that little bit of washing, dry it, hang it up and then move onto the next without having any dirty clothing on the floor. It works well and it certainly saves a lot of time and hassle.

Overall this system would work particularly well for families and people who have an awful lot of washing to do. It does not take much effort to put the right colored washing into the right laundry basket and it keeps the home looking a lot more organized too.

If you find you are too busy during the day to remember to check your messages or take a shower even, you may be in the market for a customized memoboard. You don't have to pay a fortune, because for the most part you can buy promotional memoboards from about any retailer for . Memoboards alone are not really interesting, but what you can DO with them is.

Using Memoboards Wisely

Most people associate memoboards with school or with work. Corporate memoboards for example are commonly found in board rooms where people remember sitting for long hours in talking about things like . Some people associate customized memoboards with their elementary school years. How can you forget your teacher writing down your assignments on a classic memoboard?

Today you can use printed memoboards or personalized memoboards in your very own home. Do you need to write down your homework or plan a corporate meeting to take advantage of them? No, you do not. There are many ways you can take advantage of memoboards wisely without having to think of them as managers.

(although you will use them to manage your tasks)

Consider magnetic memoboards for example. You can buy a printed memoboard for the kitchen with the label "kitchen" printed on it. Place this on your refrigerator to keep a running list of the groceries you need going. That way you will never have to try to remember what it is you need when the time comes to shop, and you will always have a head's up when the time gets close to think about grocery shopping.

You can do the same for the , except substitute the title "laundry" for "kitchen". Laundry needs management just as much as a kitchen does. You can keep track of the white, colors, kid's clothes or linens you do weekly. Find out just how much you spend in laundry detergent or how much laundry you do weekly.

Keeping Kids Organized

One of the best purposes for a personalized memoboard if you are a parent is as a chore list. You can have kids write down their chores on a chore board and keep track of their progress. This is a great idea for kids once they get to be in middle school. Most kids love to take charge of their own progress toward their goals, and having a customized memoboard for each child will allow them to do so. You can even have them chart their progress toward completing their chores each week and tally their funds or the rewards they make on a customized "reward" memoboard if you like. As you can see, having a personalized memoboard is a lot funner than it may at first seem.Miles Lovegrove is director of Fluid Branding, the UK's largest supplier of Promotional Memoboards and other Promotional Products at www.fluidbranding.com.

There are a number of other citrus fruits, but amazing to notice that it has taken so long for other fragrances to catch up.

Recently we got a few lemon and orange flavored toothpaste tubes. Body Shoppe, the joint famous for their aromatic oils, have started offering Satsuma oil, lotion and shower gel and that too with oozing fresh orange fragrance.

is equally appealing as lemon to me. Lemon in reality is sour to taste and artificial lemon tang is not at all comparable to the natural tang. As far as orange fragrance is concerned its second only to those fleshy, ripe and revitalizing fruits brought directly from Florida groves.

Given a choice, I would choose to have my laundry and home emit the fragrance of orange and have no second thoughts about it.

Only if the aroma and essence of lemon improves, it would be more appealing again. But as of now the orange tang and aroma is the finest and to me it gets the better of lemon's flavor and scent. Here is a great gardening related site http://www.verygreenthumb.com.

As a child, my most wanted candy was the one called Fruitella. You could have or a peach candy or the juicy orange flavored candy. It felt seriously divine to have these candies.

Now as a grown up, I always am on the search for that fresh orange aroma. But I always end up buying one more lemon aroma dish soap, laundry detergent, window cleaner and even toothpaste. (Orange is hard to procure, appears to be selling like hot cakes!).

For once, we were lucky to have found an orange scented bathroom spray and I ensure that I have a good stash of oil. But my has the lemon scent, I add lemon essence to chicken and you always find a lemon kind under the sink in kitchen.

Will grapefruit or even lime ever be popular as stimulating fragrances and essence? Orange has gradually become the choice of many manufacturers and marketers, thus capturing a miniscule part of lemon market. I hope the future will definitely provide us with aroma of fruits like watermelon, grape and may be even pomegranate!!! Meanwhile I buy orange whenever available and have nothing to choose from but lemon. Its time now to oust lemon dominance as the only fresh fragrance in the market, isn't it?
