Free sample of soap nuts


253°

FOUND BY: traceyjack 3 months, 2 weeks ago

STARTS: 09/08/2009   

For some bizarre reason I was researching the difference between bio and non-bio wash powders this morning, and came across mention of soap nuts as an environmentally friendly, sustainably produced, bio-degradable and compostable alternative to the commercially available washing powders and liquids available in supermarket. Further research led me to these people who are prepared to send out a free sample. You can either send them a large SAE or pay £0.75 via paypal to cover postage and envelope costs, but it's a small price to pay to try something like this.

Biological washing powder contains enzymes which break down stains etc in the wash .Non Bio doesn't contain the enzymes.

In terms of the environmental impact, neither system is perfect. Whilst the enzymes contained in a biological wash powder may take longer to disperse in the environment, the temperatures for washing can be lower than for a non-biological powder. The non-bio powder could take a higher temperature to do the same wash, which uses more electricity and water and this also has an environmental impact.
