I have used it in homemade detergent and it works great. I do not think the flakes would dissolve well in body wash but I have never tried that

I wondered that myself when I got them,, They wash well & yes everything rinse's out good!! They clothes smell great!! I wash a lot of my granddaughter's tank top's & undies in them. She has to wear a White Polo Top!! She's a Senior taking AP Science & AP Chemisty. So she sometimes gets stains on her Polo!! I treat the stain & put it in a baggie & its white & clean when done!! I'm very happy with them & I think you will be too!! I'm not one to brag on products, but when they work & do the job intended for them I will back them up with praise 100%

Straight Castile soap is not so great on hair. The soaps ph level is around 9.5 and hairs natural ph needs to stay somewhere between 5 an 7...... However when mixed with natural aloe Vera gel, and coconut milk it lathers nicely and rebalances the ph levels while still keeping your hair chemical free! Hope this was helpful!

I'm not using these anymore. I didn't like the way they cleaned. I am using Dr. Bronners castile soap. It cleans much better and has many uses in the household. I am using it for almost all my home cleaning and I love it!

I also have a front loading HE washer. The soap nuts work great in it. You do need to use warm water, if using cold, soak the soap nuts in warm water first to activate them.

The Forever New Fabric Care Wash is powder. I tried the liquid and didn't like it as well as the powder. I think it's a case of personal choice between the two.

I really don't know, I use 1 cup soap flakes, 1 cup borax, and 1 cup washing soda in 5 gallons of water (dissolve soap in 2 qt or so water, add borax and soda and hot water to fill a 5 gallon bucket (I use bathtub water at it's hottest). I use 1 ounce for my top loader (don't have an HE machine), so that's roughly 1/640 cup of soap flakes in each load. I don't ever have residue problems with my cloth diapers using this amount either. I modified this recipe from the duggar family's recipe website, and they did say you could use it in he machines. It does clean WONDERFULLY, and if I have really stinky dishrags or something like that, 1/4 cup Super Washing Soda added always gets the stink out.

I tried to make perfume out of these; using mineral oils, and other products, but I guess I am allergic. I cannot personally apply any of these to my skin at all. I use them to make my home smell nice; that's about it. I have had others apply it to their skin and it did not bother them, so I guess it is up to your skin whether you can handle it or not.

I would recommend a soap like dishwashing soap ( Dawn or Palmolive ) as they leave no residue like clothes detergent will.

I didn't use this shampoo, it has lots of bad chemicals. But I started to use Castile soap and my hair became thicker and fuller.

I think they work fine in an HE washer; our clothes look great. I try to put the bag where the water will first hit it before it get swallowed by the clothes. I stick into the gasket a little. Only once has it stayed there for the entire wash. Also save the tired pieces, add water, cook on stove to get the last of the soap out for shampoo, dishes anything really. I love the stuff. There is no major packaging, people get work and it's all plant material excpt for the plastic buket which I use for other things.

I have not used it directly on clothing items, but have used it in home made laundry soap and had no issues.

according to the puracy website "Can I use this on delicate garments and denim? Yes. We have successfully tested the 4x liquid detergent on silk, premium denim, wool, and other fine fabrics. Always follow manufacturer's instructions for the garment you intend to clean." ... So possibly? I only do basic washing.

I very much like these particular soap nuts. I have used soap nuts for about two years now, and I have used other brands in the past. These soap nuts seem to last much longer than what I have used before, and they get my clothes and house absolutely clean!

not that I have noticed and I am fairly sensitive to 'smell' that is out of place.I used to wash hands and face this morning, it's light and refreshing. If you give it a try, will you please let me know what YOU think of this soap? :)
