Living a plant based lifestyle doesn\u2019t have to just be eating a plant based diet. You can also start to live cleaner and more eco friendly in the home.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have been thinking about various ways you can do that and decided a good place to start was with plant based laundry detergent.<\/span><\/p>\n

It would be nice to find a product that was safer for the planet, kinder on the skin and without the nasty chemicals.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have been researching a few different products that I have found online. I find when using different products it’s all trial and error and by trying things out you\u2019ll find a product that\u2019s right for you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So after a good look around I’ve got some plant based detergents for you to check out. <\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve personally used the first in the list but the others seem like great options from my research.<\/span><\/p>\n

So here\u2019s that list for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

5 Plant Based Laundry Detergents<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

1. Soap Nuts\/ Berries<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

<\/a>\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Soap nuts come from the Sapindus Mukorossi tree<\/a>, the nuts are shells from the soapberry nut. <\/span><\/p>\n

The shells of the nut contain a natural soap called saponin.<\/span><\/p>\n

When put into the washing machine the nutshells absorb the water, the saponin is released which makes the water soapy and cleans your clothes.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can buy the soapberries online and they usually come in big packs that come with a little cloth bag.<\/span><\/p>\n

For a hot wash, you pop 2 soap nuts into the bag and for a cold wash, you use 3-4 nuts.<\/span><\/p>\n

You then put them into the washing machine and start it as usual.<\/span><\/p>\n

The soap nuts soften the clothes also so there is no need for fabric softener.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once the load is done you can take the nuts out of the bag and leave them out to dry and use them again!<\/span><\/p>\n

You can reuse them for up to 6 times.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are a lot of mixed opinions on soap nuts but I have used them and I personally love them.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have a household that suffers from sensitive skin so these are perfect as they are natural and kind to your skin.<\/span><\/p>\n

I quite like that there\u2019s no overpowering flowery odor to them however if you miss a scent to your clothes you can pop a couple of drops of essential oil in the draw and it will give that subtle added scent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Lavender is my favorite!<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019d suggest making sure you have a good cloth bag to wash them in with a zip or drawstring otherwise they will come loose and won\u2019t work as well.<\/span><\/p>\n
