A NATURAL, ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY, BIO DEGRADABLE, ECONOMICAL & EFFECTIVE DETERGENT (
that grows on trees)
Soap nuts or Soapberry, also sometimes referred to as Washing Nuts or Ritha / Reetha (in Hindi), contain ‘Saponins’, which have the ability to clean and wash. When in contact with water, it creates mild suds, which is similar to soap.
For hundreds of years, people in India and Nepal have been doing their laundry and cleaning with Soapnuts. The nut is the dried fruit of the Ritha tree and the saponin released is a 100% substitute to normal detergents.
A brief on the Benefits of using Soapnuts:
- Clearly cheaper than normal detergents.
- Environment friendly as Soapnuts are 100% natural, they do not pollute our environment. Furthermore, Soapnuts are considered renewable primary products. The Soapnuts trees absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen.
- Perfect for allergic persons, people with sensitive skin and people who suffer from neurodermatitis.
- Effective and gentle as Soapnuts clean dirty laundry very effectively and at the same time preserve the colour of your laundry better than chemical detergents. In Nepal, people wash even the finest silks using Soapnuts.
