Has anyone used these or another drawstring bag available on amazon for natural laundry detergent/soap nuts?

Are you meaning to throw in with a load of laundry and it comes clean? I would be cautious, especially with the soap nuts, because, although the weave is porous enough for long term (ie; steeping tea or coffee) or really hot (ie; soup making) purposes, I don't believe that it would let out all of the product within one wash cycle and you may end up with a goopy mess stuck in your clothes. If you're wanting to STORE the detergent/nuts in them (this would be a tiny size to do that in, but whatever...) , that would probably be ok, as long as the particles aren't so fine that they'd sift through the bag.

I used one as a lingerie bag, on the gentle cycle. I don't recall offhand if they *are*, but I think if you put them all into one bag and used gentle cycle, minimal or no soap, air dry they would be fine.

I keep the soap nuts in until the whole cycle is finished. This is not a common soap - it's a natural "nut", so there is no lather. It works great and is really economical. I've been using them for a year now and I like the feel of the clothes when they are washed and dry. You don't need fabric softener. There is no film left on the clothes. Even flannel sheets are soft.

Yes they can be washed but I would line dry to prevent damaging them in the dryer. The draw string is nylon and would melt. Our family of 5 has used this for almost 2 years and the bags are in good condition save an undone seam from overstuffing and having kids drag downstairs to the basement.

Unfortunately no. I just use this to sort the darks from light colors and use a separate bag to take to the laundry.

No drawstrings. Here's how I use them -- In a kitchen trash can, first put the actual plastic "tall kitchen garbage bag" (non bio degradable) then this biobag. When the bag fills up, I take the whole trash can outside, then pick up the biobag and dump it in the compost garbage. This way I don't have to carry them. The plastic bag lining lasts a few months. Once in a while, the biobag leaks (my fault - I don't empty it soon enough) in which case I replace the plastic bag too.

Yes they would be to big to wash in a at home machine. However, the large commercial size washers at the laundry mat would be able to handle this bag.

Yes and they are great. You can find a decent price on Amazon. Be careful about other companies. I ordered some from a vender, who apparently ran out of the item and sent me very thin bags that tore on touch. I returned them, received a credit and reordered through Amazon. Very happy with them.

I've used these bags for almost 15 years now. Even put my foot into them to pack 'em tighter! In all that time, I've only had ONE drawstring break while pulling it closed. I think the bags are strong enough unless they're used for hauling scrap iron to the recyclers!

Yes, I bought a box of small T-shirt bag from Sam's club and it fit perfectly. I don't have to wash the grabber.

Yes, with no problem at all. I'd suggest tucking the long drawstring inside the bag so it won't get caught on other clothes. I toss the bag in to dry after I remove my delicates to line dry.

Yes. They close using a drawstring. There is a plastic piece on the drawstring that keeps the top from opening back up during the wash. I think these bags are great quality too.

Yes, this item comes with one cotton double drawstring wash bag. Thanks for shopping from Greenwill

I'm not sure if that's necessary. I have had the same bag for years and use the nuts in the small bags for laundry. Since they are kept in the basement with the laundry machines, they stay fairly cool. I've never had an issue with them going bad.

It is hard to answer that exactly... I put 5 nuts in the little cloth bag(included). This can be used 5 times . or untill they dont have the usual soap-nut scent. I usually have 2 bags going in at once. An old one and a new one, just to get the most out of them. I mark the new one with a safety pin. A bag of soap-nut lasts me for months!! I do ALOT of laundry.... 2 teenage boys... You will be surprised how good they work.

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!

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.
