Customer Review: GREAT PRODUCT!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've sometimes been disappointed with natual products not getting my dishes or laundry clean. I LOVED this product. My clothes were soft, smelled good (not a fake spring breeze smell), and came out clean. Highly recommended.Customer Review: Thank you

Thank you for providing a natural soap. I have ended up spending less money than I do on detergent and my clothes are brighter, cleaner and softer. It also works on silk and wool, I can't believe it!!Customer Review: Fabulous natural soap
Summary: 5 Stars
We have been using the soap nuts for about 3 months and love the fact that we have found a natural product for washing which also saves us using fabric sheets in the dryer.Customer Review: maggie's soap nuts
Summary: 4 Stars
A very good product I would order again. You need to pull them out before rinse cycle.Customer Review: Fragrant like a wet dog?
Summary: 3 Stars
My nuts came in a cellophane baggie that was not sealed, in a box where the glue must have been water soluble and had dissolved. Nothing was missing, but the packaging was surprising. I simply put my nuts in a ziploc baggie and am now almost done with my supply. I am concerned about the quality and consistency of this product, but cannot say that my experience has been at all bad. Yes, there is a slight vinegar smell when the nuts are fresh, and the smell goes away after a few loads, upon which I replace the nuts.
I have not noticed any particular "whiteness," but my dark clothes are DARKER (no white "sheen" from being washed). And my T-shirts that had acquired the white "sheen" are looking more bold (I guess that's the word). It could be my imagination I guess.
Well, I actually do not dislike this product. I only used the 50-pack, and have just put in an order for another competitor's product that I'd like to try out.
**AS FOR THE SMELL**
I used to hang dry my clothes to save energy. But when I moved into the rental house I recently vacated, I could not get the wet dog smell out of my clothes unless I put them through the dryer. At that time, I was using unscented Tide with Bleach.
My landlord later replaced the laundry units and guess what? The wet dog smell was gone! Hooray! I had assumed it was related to the water system or water source, but it was actually some disgusting goopy brown rusty stuff in the water line going to the machine.
Note that even consumer reports has concluded (surprisingly) that many big name detergents do not work any better than plain water--other than adding fragrance. So if fragrance is what you want, then soap nuts are just not for you.
Good luck if you try the product!
