If the nuts are in the laundry all the time, does the laundry get properly rinsed?

The close come out at the end of the complete wash cycle looking just like they would if you used a detergent. There is no soap residue.

Yes - some how it works out - I put the nuts in a nylon knee high stocking and tie it with a knot. It is good for smaller loads or delicate things. You should buy a small amount to start with and make sure you like it. I have recently found a laundry product called ECOS it is a environmental friendly product and I love it. It really cleans well - I purchase it on VITACOST.

YES, you do dry them out after each washing, after you have done 5-6 loads they will change to a lighter color then what they usually are, at that time throw them away (we bundle them in groups of 5-6 nuts in a mesh bag use them until the color gets lighter then just throw the whole bag in the trash and make another one.)one thing we found out, TREAT STAINS BEFORE YOU PUT THE ARTICLES IN THE WASH the nuts don't do that great on heavy stains. HOPE THIS HELPS YOU PS we still use them and like them.Dennis

I have washed my bag in the washer before and it did fine, but I did not put it in the dryer. I let it hang dry.

The washing instructions state to spot clean these only. I use them mainly for decoration, so it wasn't an issue.

I have just washed them with the rest of the laundry in either cold or warm water. Most of the time in the winter I use drying racks to add more humidity to the indoor air so thus far I have not dried them in the dryer. They do dry quite quickly being air dried.

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

No - they are mostly dry when they are removed from the washer - there is no need for it

Sure. I run the throughl the washing machine and then hang to dry. No problems so far. Dish soap should even be easier on them

I wash mine in Dreft with the baby's laundry and I haven't noticed a problem.

No, if you put washed food in it. Just toss it in regular laundry every once and a while.

You do not need to let the soap nuts dry or rest in between loads. I wash 6-8 loads in a row. The soap nuts need to be wet to work properly.

Yes, you can. I always use the nuts with cold water in my front loader and get clean soft clothes after drying.

Oh I forgot to mention that a sock of the soapnuts can be used for at least 6-7 loads for me, just make sure to check often. Also I break each nut into a few pieces before putting into the sock.

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.

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.

I have never had that happen. I throw mine in the washer with a few prs. of jeans and they come out clean. I DO NOT put them in the dryer... I air dry them. Maybe its time to buy some new ones? I found that they lose their absorbancy after 2 yrs. of using.
