We Indians have been using soapnuts for many years... we soak them overnight in an iron vessel with Amla (Indian gooseberry) as it makes the hair black/darker and enriches the hair with vitamins. Whether you boil or soak, make sure you strain it well as the tiny particles stuck on your clothes OR hair can be annoying if not rinsed well...as pets aren’t the most patient at bath times. The famous Indian shampoo uses equal parts of the following:
Reetha (Soap nuts)
Dry Amla (Indian Gooseberry)
Shikakai (Acacia concinna)
I will have to try this... thanks for sharing! Cheers!
@@ilkeracar6567 That is correct. However, do check each batch. Sometimes you need extra Reetha (for "soapier" experience, sometimes less.) When I make my shampoos, I like it really soapy, so I add a handful of soap nuts extra. I also boil fenugreek for the "slimey" effect. So, whether it is a shampoo, hand wash, dish washing liquid, washing liquid for clothes, body wash... whatever you use it for, make a small batch and see for yourself what you like. Nothing says a dish soap is not a floor cleaning liquid. You can improvise with lemon juice, baking soda, vinegar... ALL good. :-) But yes, 33% each is a good start.
@Ireland A I’d strongly recommend an Indian store near you. Or far. I’ve found a few in Dubai and Singapore and Vietnam... so I guess you’ll find it in most places. If not, give them the list. They’ll get it. Tried online?

Thank you for sharing this.
Soap nuts work best when soaked in water for about a day or two,and then boiled for few minutes in water.. you get the best concoction.
I have been using this for 3years... When u boil... U can also add lemon peels, basil leaves, orange peels for different types of aroma... Or fragrance...
In india we always used only soap nuts as a shampoo. I did not even know about shampoo bottles. BUT we always apply warm oil, lot of it, on hair a night before shampooing. This is important because soapnuts take out the oil, if you have extremely oily hair you may not need to oil your hair but otherwise you must oil your hair. Oiling hair is good in general for hair.
can you please tell me how did you wash your hair with shikakai?
Can I wash my hands before eating with this?
in india 99% of peoples are only using soapnuts but we all need to use it its really good for hair.
@@dennyspessoa2792 yes
what type of oil do you use please?
In Pakistan our grand parents are using it many years ago...Happy to see you using this , I have made a shampo using this plus Amla , Seka Kai, every person on earth should use this and save our earth from chemicals...
Do you boil all 3 at once?
This is how together we can save our sea waters n rivers from big giant chemical companies.....
This was the only way for us to shampoo the hair in our little town in India, when shampoos were not available then ( 40 years ago). It works great.
50 years ago, when the shampoos like HALO were available, & a little later when the ones like SUNSILK became available.
Reetha+Amla+shikakai is love !
Ye to ringi tree hai...,ye konkan region me bhi hai
This is exactly what I needed for my zero waste transition! Thank you!!!!
Even me also mam coz u know detergents just are so hard on everything and I always have a sensitive skin so I was advised in clinic to use this it is better now but not as powerful as detergents so much good far more good on clothes my skin and overall everyone's health
Kudos for this video ❤️👍🙏
Eco nuts or soap nuts are of Indian origin. It's eco friendly,pocket friendly,natural. It's been used in India from centuries. Homemade cleaners, shampoo, body wash, laundry detergent etc. Best part is you can compost the leftover. Proud Indian..
Can we put the leftover in our plants?
I made the soapnuts concentrate today... Then I had the silly idea to try biting one to see how they taste.
DON´T DO THAT.
Mimi Shines Bright I'm so glad I'm not tje only one who did this😂
Mimi Shines Bright did you eat Tide Pods too?
LOL
Actually soap nuts are also taken orally for treating diarrhea and other stomach problems. So biting them may give bad taste but good for health
😂 😂 😂 You read my mind... Thank you for beating me to it 🙏🏽
so grateful for having a substainable product such as soap nuts! First time with them, and i am giving as gifts this christmas too!
Omg in my country when I was a kid we had those trees growing in the woods and along side the river. We used to pick them and shower with them. I was just telling my kids about it. We called them soap berries. If only we knew that we could sell them and become rich lol.
I had no idea you could use it for so many things! I have been using them in my laundry and I get about 15 loads from a little bag of 5 nuts. I don't have hard water so that may be the difference in loads? I also use mostly cold water and have great results with them.
I am going to try the concentrate for cleaning! So cool. Great video.
thank you! just bhought some soap nuts its amazing to see it have more use than just cleaning my clothes
I LOVE soap nuts as shampoo! It's the best cleanser for my hair
Had never heard of these before! Definitely going online to buy some - thank you!!
I am using tat nearly 1 month. My Amma told me to use the soap nut since they use to it from their childhood. It's awesome cleans the scalp very nice even so much of oil is applied to the scalp and hair.
I saw them in the store today and was intrigued. Thanks for this video! As soon as I run out of my current soaps I will go for these soap nut since I want to decrease my waste production. Since these are so versatile I guess I can even say goodbye to shampoo bottles now!
But how to find whether it is rottened or spoiled pls tell me?

EXACTLY what I was looking for in a video about soap nuts, thank you so so much!! I just subscribed. I hope you will make some new videos :) I live a more "traditional" life as you do so I love seeing channels that have a ton of things on them that are totally relevant to my life.
Surely stay connected i usually have them
Omg this is SO cool. Imma start using this for everything. thank you for sharing!
I have used it as body cleanser and it's amazing!!!
I would like to point out that soapnut tree is basically a tropical tree and is native to southern India which is very hot atleast 9 months in a year. It is grows in the entire country. Although, I have to say that the Himalayan region is not very congenial weather for the soapnut tree to grow. Because the sunny months are very few in this region.
This is great! I've never tried these before. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for this amazing video !!!!! I have terrible skin and rashes to all sorts of detergents and a swollen itchy tongue/mouth after using some dish soaps. Also allergic to lots of shampoo and conditioners.
thanks for sharing this, very informative especially the clothes washing x
Bought soap nuts from Amazon and found they are an excellent product for lightly stained clothes.Has you say heavy duty they do not really work.They brought my wife's whites out beautiful and clean.Would like to thank you for giving some tips on other uses for them.Will give the concentrate a try and see how it goes.
Amazing! Thank you for all the great ideas!
Wow, thank you! I am just starting out with this nuts and that was a very good quick guide how to get started!!
Indonesian has used this soap fruits dor may centuries until now
I have an auto immune disorder (ulcerative colitis), which, one of my triggers, it turns out, is laundry detergent. Since then we have been using soap nuts and (funny you mention eczema), my boyfriend's eczema went away. This has been very informative.
Ulcerative colitis is not autoimmune disease its psychological problem my Dr sister has given treatment to these pts please visit to psychologist .
@@aniruddhakaryekar2390 I feel you are being unnecessarily nasty here.
For your information all diseases are psychological according to metaphysical doctors and I have found that this is true, look at the word itself "dis-ease".
However, that is not to say that the physical symptoms that people suffer due to dis-ease are not real. And it's not their fault that they don't know that it is their thinking feeling patterns that are causing the dis-ease, because almost all of us have not been taught this in our modern societies.
In modern societies they do not treat diseases holistically the look at a disease as a separate problem in the body and treat it with chemicals or surgeries.
Hi. are you still using the soap nuts? how is the result?
@@karthikk5732 We alternate between soap nuts and fragrance free Tide. Going chemical free makes a huge difference.
@@anajadwa6875 Stress can exacerbate disease, but not cause it. The treatment should be to treat the body as a whole, not just the symptoms. Fortunately I found a Naturopath who cured my ulcerative colitis 13 years ago.
This was a REALLY great video. Thank you!
Thank you for making this informative and pleasant video!
wow! Very rich and clear content! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! I'm very glad I found your video
that hesitant pause when you mentioned, "....place your nuts in a little bag..." lol!
I do think so...she forgot to say wash with warm water...here in Java, we poured the fruit with boiling water...wait until the water cooler and add some cold water before washing...
🤣🤣🤣
LOVE how you made the shampoo. It looks super high quality. Do you think a regular blender could work?
Yes.. it stings like CRAZY if you get in into your eyes, but otherwise it does a great job of cleaning the hair. I simply use it in its liquid form, but foaming it up is a great idea. Many thanks for sharing! ❤️
Magic bean! It's so amazing.
Thank you for sharing. I have always wanted to try these. I make my own shampoo bars & would like more lather without the high cleansing from the coconut i.m gonna try adding some of the soap nut concentrate to my formula & see how it is. I also want to see if if helps boost my 100% coconut oil laundry soap that i make as well. my hubby has some stubborn stains & stink from doing lawn services. :)
This is brill very useful, thank you!
Great video, can't wait to check these out!
cool now I have to get some soap nuts
Wow! I am so trying this. I wonder if the cleaning solution, if sprayed on my sunflowers would stop leaf spot (aka rust, a fungus)?
Yes I m using soapnuts for my laundry. 1st I boiled some soapnuts n water along with lemon(juice extracted) & made a concentrate & after that I added vinegar
Great alternative for you and the environment!
these treatments r really effective
Great video. Thank you! Do you know how long the shampoo lasts?
And if i make the concentrate and freeze in normal sized ice cubes how long does it last? Is it one ice cube for a full load? And does it have to be hot then or is 40 degrees ok?
Really want to try these !
Wow that is amazing!!! Thank you for the info. Can we grow that here in the US? How could you get the seedlings?
Well i am an indian 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳 and we use only organic natural shampoo made with soap nuts, shikakai and indian gooseberries
It a really gud natural cleaning ingredient. As said, it's chemical free and anti bacterial.
In my country Indonesia,we use soapnut for wash batik it's our traditional fabric.
These things are amazing
They have these at the 99¢ only store where I work..a good size box for only..yup only a dollar
Great! Do i have to divide the seed from the shell when i boil the nuts??
are they the same as the laundry soap ones can you use the laundry soap nuts for all this too cause I would love to make shampoo for my kids they have super sensitive skin and most shampoo drys out my oldest hair
Thank you so m uch for this video! How many soapnuts did you put in each load of laundry? Also, do you think you can use the concentrate in laundry since the actual nuts don't work in cold water? It seems to me the cleaning agents are activated with the concentrate so they wouldn't need the hot water to activate them. Thank you again! From Missouri :D
That was very informative.
Soapnuts are amazing
Try blend of eco enzyme with soapnuts
But
You are buying soapnuts extremely expensive
They just grow in flowerpots easily
In Indian villages people dont even charge for kilos of these things
Flower pots..? Please tell me if it's true.. I want to grow some soap nut plants..
@@naveenavavila9562 You can grow anything in flowerpots.
Go to a nearby nursery and get thred plants of Reetha, i.e. soapnuts.
I use them as a laundry soap but I wanna try it as shampoo, thanks for recipes
I must try as I soapnut trees in my estate
I have been using soapnuts since 2006 for laundry and find them very effective. I am going to try the cleaner with a little bit of lavender oil instead of tea-tree oil; I like the idea of using vinegar in the cleaner because the concentrate on its own does spoil eventually and the vinegar has stopped this from being a problem.
I look forward to also trying the shampoo.
+Elise Ruthenbeck every time i use the soap nuts they stain ALL of my clothes with brown stains? how can this be avoided? why does this happen?
+Mordough Johnson can you describe how you're doing it, and I'll see if I can figure it out?
Check to see if you are using the soap nuts without the seeds. If still in, then remove the seeds and use. The seeds cause staining.
Hope this helps.
Can I wash my hands before eating with this?
Yes,You can use this to wash your hands before eating.
Beautiful presentation Dear Green Monger 😄Even I am using it since from 4 years and written a blog on it,and I have connected the drain water pit to rain water collecting pit to restore ,recollect,reuse,recycle the pre cious water by not contaminating with harsh synthetic detergent,
I am saving water around 300litres per wash around 9,000litre in a month ,around 1,00,000 litres per year.so blissfull enjoying the process
Jayaji, i would like to read that blog....can you reply me the link.... Even i am hesitant to use the harsh detergents and cleaners....
Thanks for this useful information
Is there any natural preservatives you would recommend for longer shelf life?
May I know is vinger Gud for hair cleanser.and due to vineger is it becomes so creamy?
So can you use these in an HE washer with tap water cold? I like to wash things with cold water and am trying to find something that works in cold water that is all natural? I also have hard water does that affect it?
how to store soapnuts soap? will the foam go away after a few hours? I need it for shampoo
Great video, thank you!
Great full thought
I have never heard of soap nuts until today. How do you get them? Will the soap nut tree grow in SouthWest Arizona?
GREAT video..Thank you..!!
Thanks a lot
thank you for a wonderful video
Hi! I am a new subscriber from Portugal! I was looking for alternatives than compensate €€€ As a housewife it is important to save but to protect and care for not only the environment at home (house, clothes etc), but outside asl well. So, i was wondering, if it does work... Honestly I never tried this. I am afraid if won't work on the clothes well even with hot water has you suggested? Can i use any essential oil for the clothes to smell nice or the nuts are enough? I ask this because we are used to "if it doesn't smell nice it is not ok"...
Nice video! Thanks!
Refreshing video❤
I bought some soap nut powder, and does the powder work same way?
I find this very interesting and amazed that we can still use this soap berrys if it’s found in your area I’m not sure if I’ll be able to find it here where I live in San Diego but I want to know if this berries disinfect rather then just clean or leave things shining cause I would love to try this out.
have you tried?
What ratio do you recommend for making the shampoo?
Hi! Thank you for the great video! Just one small thing... you CAN put them in cold water, and they will work realy good then as well. I always wash my clothes at 30 or 40 degrees, and it's no problem, you can actually use the nuts more often in cold water then in hot water. I have also had them foam in regular cold tapwater as well...
+WhiteWolf75 The website says to soak them in warm water for 2-3 min before using in cold.
I'm curious, without removing the soap nuts from the wash, how does the soap get rinsed from the clothes? Thanks.
That's actually a really good question, I never thought about that... I don't know if it's actually necessary, because I never had any problems with it, and my clothes come out much softer than with normal detergent. And maybe you only need to rinse out the detergent because it's made of chemicals. The soap nuts are natural, so maybe it's not necessary...
Does anyone know more about this..?
I use mine in cold and they do last longer. It doesn't actually have a film and isn't really soap so it doesn't need rinsing. I have been using them for over a month and my clothes are smelling great.
+hamie58 that's what the soak part on most washers are for ;) the nuts will just sit for about 2 minutes in my water after it's filled, THEN it'll get to washing.
Hello darling!
I am from Brasil so my english is not very good... Hehehe
First, I want to thank you for this video. It helps me a lot. I was not able to find some recipe of soapnut shampoo until I find your video. For now, I already simmered the soapnuts and I'm wainting it cool down... \o/
Well, I was wondering here, watching your video again, that my "soapnuts concetrate" results in less liquid than yours... And I would like to ask you: in this video, what is the proportion of fruits and water? And another question... did you let the pan opened or closed while the fruits were simmering? In some moment of "my simmering", the soap nuts was in so little water than I had to pass it for another pan! hahahaha
I tryied 2 hands of soanuts and 3 cups of water!
Well, thank you a lot for your share, and when I find my "ideal recipe" I will make a video and make sure you will be in the description, with a mention of thanks!
Kisses and see ya!
How long can we keep the shampoo outside for? and in the fridge...
TY
soak the nuts in the water overnight after boiling for an even better concentrate - and squeeze the nuts as much as you can - smoosh them around with your hands and squeeze, squeeze, squeeze to get the most out. Then put in jar and use.
Awesome video! Can't find soap nuts in my country (Philippines) tho.
Amazon.com
Thanks 🌹❤
Are the soapnuts still reusable after using them to make the concentrate? When are they spent?
old video but do they work in a european style washing machine in soft water?
Does it work in a front loading washer? You can't take them out once it starts.
Does anyone know if the foam lasts for the shampoo?
thx for this great video
can you use them after you boiled them?
Excellent mam... thanks
We have in Brazil I'll use it.
Hi, great video. When using the soap nuts as a concentrate for laundry how much would need to me used. I'm considering purchasing some from an Etsy shop but not sure now as I wash most of my stuff I. Cool water and sometimes warm. We also have well water so would they be good for that. Thank you?
Diane Bureau
Hi
You can use 1 cup of the nut soap concentrate for a medium load wash in washing machine . Water temperature could be warm or cold doesn’t matter
And we have here hard water supply and soap nuts are working quite well .
Do I need to keep the whipped stuff in the fridge for it to last long? how long does it take it to go rancid and can I use anything to preserve it? thank you for the great ideas!
I read somewhere that you can keep it in the fridge for up to 6 months. And you can just use the ice-cubes right away, just put them with the laundry, they will melt when hot water is added.
Can we use This in front load washing machine
Super nice 👍
What is the tea tree oil pls explain can replace coconut oil
For how long we can store it without decaying
wow wow wow. cool
In Indonesia we use soapnut for washing batik and hand woven clothes.
