Do you take out the bag of soap nuts before the rinse cycle starts?

You can, but it is not necessary. If you leave the bag in for the rinse cycle the berries act as a natural fabric softener. I hope this helps.

I have never taken them out, they even go into the dryer in my house :) I think I bought the 4 lb bag 2 years ago and I'm still not even 1/2 of the way through it, even washing and drying them every time. I also use an old knee high or cut off an old pantyhose foot, fill them and tie them off to keep more bags in rotation. It's so nice not buying itchy detergent anymore!!

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.

Just use them one load after another. That way they are already soaked and ready to suds. Every time they dry out they have to be re-soaked a bit before putting them in a load. To extend the life, pull them out before the rinse cycle. This also assures better rinsing too.

Yes, you must wash the items with soap and water to ensure they are clean prior to sterilizing them. The sterilizer does not wash the items.

Yes, I did. I cut it open with tin snips and poured it into another container. That seems to happen a lot anymore with soaps, etc.

No..you are laying down the cleaning solution and then just sucking it up. You may want to go back later anddo a complete rinse if you think it is necessary.

I believe they are. I asked my washer repairman and my sceptic man but neither knew. I found this web site that answers this and other questions: http://www.laundrytree.com/using-soapnuts/faqs.html I hope this is helpful to you. The septic question is near the bottom of the list, which is quite comprehensive about soap nuts. I have been using them for about a year now and will never ever go back to commercial laundry products. One secret as with any laundry soap is not to overload your machine. It helps to place the nuts in a bit of hot water before putting them into the machine; I use a clean jam jar for this purpose. The smell I was getting in my HE washer disappeared almost entirely once I stopped using that sticky soap with all the dyes. My clothes smell much cleaner! I love this product and will always use it from now on. I haven't check the cost but I also believe it is cheaper per load than commercial stuff. So in the end this web site is probably right, and the nuts are actually beneficial for septics. It makes sense: you aren't putting chemicals in your septic. The nuts are extremely low-sudsing, too.

Hi Much Addicted: it's not necessary to rinse the bag until the product runs clear. A light rinsing to remove loose carbon residue should be enough. Make sure when you install the bag in your sump that you place filter floss or pads on top and bottom. Make it a CHEMI- PURE sandwich. I've been using this for years and it's a great product. Hope this helps you! Jim

You can use the same wet nuts. They work better when wet. I either soak mine in a jar and pour the whole contents into the laundry or add some warm water to a jar with nuts and let sit 5 min before adding to laundry. Not sure why they would have to dry when it says they work better wet? Works fine for me to use them back to back.

The soap comes in a container with a small scoop included. There are easy directions to follow on the container. I personally use one scoop per load in my regular washer.

This is a concentrate. A small amount should be put in a basin with water. Any body part may be washed and dried. No rinsing is necessary

My kit came with a bag of Easy Clean no-rinse powder. One TBSP makes a gallon of sanitizer, and there is a lot in the bag. Probably enough for ten gallons, so you won't need any more for a while.

Yes you can. Rinse off. Probably a good idea. Depends on if you like the scent!

yes - they can go through the whole wash cycle as far as I know - at least thats what I do and I haven't had any issues so far. In fact, soap nuts are so effective AND gentle that your better off just skipping the rinse cycle all together IMHO - they have a natural fabric softening effect and I find that it saves me time and money just to skip the rinse and my clothes are soft and clean!

Yes. You have to wash them first. Honestly I don't even use this. I just wash with soap and hot water.

Haven't needed to. I fill the 'tray' part as level as possible and securely put the top half back on. After rinsing and some small particles come out, I don't have a problem.

Yes. Once I use it I rinse it & put it right back in the case until next use.
