If nuts are always in the washer with the laundry, does the laundry ever get properly rinsed?

Good question. All I can tell you is there is no residue or stickiness after the load. Since this is not a chemical it doesn't need to be "rinse". My daughter's skin react to regular detergent that are rinsed but not to these natural berries. My clothes are cleaned and smells good without the feeling of not being rinsed. That's all I can tell you.

I don't know, I was concerned about that too. Try simmering 8 nuts in 1 quart of water for two hours, strain, and use the liquid. I use 1/4 to 1/3 cup in my high-efficiency washer and my clothes come out smelling clean and fresh. Store the liquid in a jar in the refrigerator.

I have been using them for almost a year now and say yes. I have found that it is low suds and it leaves no residue or smell at all.

Yes. I washed and dried with no problem. Due to size of quilt I went to a laundromat.

i threw mine in the washer with my clothes in the gentle cycle and hung dry. It still looks the same afterwards.

It must be... because that is the way we have been cleaning it with no adverse results! We take it to the laundromat and use the big triple-load washers. Of course the huge dryers help a lot, too. We dry on high temp most of the cycle then switch down to medium temp (if we catch it on time).

Yes, it is as long as you use a detergent that is made for high performance washers. It's quite amazing how these new washers get your clothes clean. Whites seem to be the only issue. They get clean, but they loose their brightness over time. You can check the performance of the washer by soiling a hand towel with various stains and letting it dry for a day or two before you wash it.

Soap nuts smell like vinegar before washing your clothing, but after washing there is no odor that I noticed.

I don't know about washing machine but I rinse mine in the sink after picking large lint debris off by hand. This does pretty well. I didn't replace mine until a year and a half of regular useage.

No. Only in a front loader. I roll mine loosely, cover it with bathtub water will a drop of organic laundry detergent, swish it around a bit, let it soak, then re-roll it from the opposite end, swish it around again, let it soak a bit, then drain the soap water, refresh the water to rinse the mat, then roll it tight to squeeze out the water, then hang to dry. Done.

I have an HE front loader and I use the soap nuts. It works fine. I have not had any issues. I just make sure that I throw in the bag with the soap nuts first so it sits at the very bottom and then throw my clothes in.

Yes. We've machine washed ours a few times now since we've had ours with no problem.

Yes, I've washed them several times, home washer and dryer with other linen. No problem at all.

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.

Yes. There is a plastic nut that allows you to easily disassemble the two main components of the top for washing. Yet another facet of how well designed this item is.

No, You just reach in grab one and drop it in the washer. It does the rest for you. Make sure to keep them high enough out of kids reach. Hope this helps :)

Nope! Use it all the time to take clothes to the dry cleaners and haven't ever noticed any issues.

I only use dryer sheets, but I have cleaned the socks in my washer with detergent numerous times without any problems.
