for washing.

Simply put a few Soap Nuts into the included cotton sack and drop it in your laundry. Your clothes come out clean, vibrant, and soft.
Replace your laboratory detergents and softeners with the soap made from Nature by Nature. Your clothes, your skin, your family,
and your planet will thank you.
