Soap Nuts are an all natural alternative to chemical laundry detergents.
Harvested from Sapindus Genus of trees soap nuts (also known as soap berries) are the outer shell of the nut and contain the naturally occurring surfactant saponin that helps to penetrate the fibres of the your laundry and lift out stains.
At just 5-7 shells per load they're budget friendly too, you can even reuse the nuts up to four times before they've exhausted their cleaning power.
Our 500g bag will last you up to 260 washes but if you're unsure if they're for you our 30g trial bag will give you 12 washes to give them a go.
Instructions and in-wash bag included.
WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY
I never thought I’d describe a sponge as beautiful, but these are. And they work remarkably well, though I almost didn’t want to use them. I love that they’re compostable, too. Shipping was fast, even from over the ocean. I’m planning on buying more of these when I run out.
I previously ordered a set of these and prefer them to beeswax wraps...these are more flexible than the beeswax wraps that I have and stick better to themselves when folded over a sandwich etc
These are one of the cutest sponges I have com across and I am glad I did. It makes my space just a little more fun!

This is one of those things that crops up on facebook when I advertise our vegan wax wraps: "I understand the whole vegan thing but honestly, what's so bad about beeswax?" It's a good question and one that deserves and answer, so here's mine:
The mindfulness of the well wrapped sandwich
Lunch. It's usually the most rushed meal and we often don't show it enough love - whether you throw a couple if bits of bread and sliced something together or just grab some change and hope for the best it's often done in hurry.
You asked and we listened
For over three years the UnSponge has done its job - cleaning your plates, scrubbing your pans and wiping down surfaces. We've had a lot of lovely feedback but we've also heard a few niggles - things that you wanted but our UnSponges just didn't do. So we worked on it. Most ideas didn't fly and some looked promising only to fail on test but at last we think we've cracked it. Bring on the Squeeze™.

Cleaning Vinegars
White vinegar is a zero waste cleaning staple. From windows to counter tops, loos to skirting boards there's very little this fantastic cleaner can't do* (with a little elbow grease thrown in).
