Customer Reviews of Maggie's Soap Nuts - 36 Loads
Customer Review: Sooo disappointed
Summary: 1 Stars
I was extremely excited about this product, but it just didn't work for me. Let me start by saying that my husband is a union pipefitter; although he gets dirty I wouldn't classify it as filthy. This product absolutely did NOTHING to remove the stains from his clothing. We live in Florida and he sweats a lot. You could still smell odor in the armpit area of his clothing after they were laundered. The product did okay on my clothing (gym workout clothes were still a little iffy), but to be honest I am not sure using these were any better than just washing clothing in warm water without detergent. I did everything I could think of. Followed the manufacturer's instruction (i.e. soaked nuts in warm water, etc). When I realized this product would not work for us, I went as far as to use the entire rest of the box in one washing on just a few of my husband's clothing and it did NOT help at all. I respect anyone who is trying to find a better alternative and I know it is very hard to find natural alternatives. Right now I am using Charlie's Soap (does seem to fade clothes fast but great on whites) and Method Laundry detergent. No, they don't grow naturally on trees, but it is a bit better that commercial chemical brands and I have had much better results.Customer Review: Horrible Nuts - DO NOT ORDER FROM MAGGIE'S
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought these soap nuts in May because I had heard so many good things about soap nuts and wanted to give them a try. I eagerly anticipated their arrival and was SO DISAPPOINTED with these soap nuts. What a waste of money! The cellophane package the nuts came in looked like it had water in it and and the nuts were black and sticky. What terrible quality. I tried them anyway and had to use almost 10 nuts just to get any soap. I had been hesitant to order from Maggie's because of some of the bad reviews and wish I had followed my instincts.
Not to be deterred, I ordered a set of nuts from NaturOli two weeks later and was so pleased! The nuts were a warm, golden brown packaged in a cloth bag and were smooth and dry, not tacky and ruined looking. I have been so happy with the nuts from NaturOli that I ordered a years supply in July and got the same high quality nuts.
I am very pleased with the way soap nuts clean my clothes but I will NEVER EVER order from Maggie's again and have made sure to tell everyone I can to steer clear of them also. Please, try soap nuts, you won't be disappointed....unless you order from Maggie's!
Customer Review: The only all natural laundry soap!
Summary: 5 Stars
For years, I've used free and clear laundry detergents, due to sensitive skin. After I had a baby, I started looking into alternative products due to detergents causing build up on his cloth diapers. I came across Maggie's Soap Nuts in Mothering Magazine. I was a bit skeptical at first because they sounded too good to be true, plus the initial cost seemed a bit high. However, after doing just one load, I was SOLD! Soap nuts eliminate the need for fabric softener and stain removers. Our clothes and diapers are soft, sparkling white, and couldn't smell better. Soap nuts are wonderful because they're not just a one time use. We can reuse soap nuts about three times on hot wash for diapers, and 5-6 times on cold wash for clothes! I would recommend these to ANYONE, sensitive skin or not. You'll be amazed at what they do for your laundry.
You can also use these to remove stains. We had a stain on the carpet from a spilled drink, so I wet a soap nut, scrubbed, and the stain was gone. Don't let the cost deter you, these are the best thing you can do for your clothes.
Customer Review: Helps amazingly well with excema
Summary: 5 Stars
I am hooked on Maggie's Soap Nuts. My toddler has suffered horribly from severe excema since she was three weeks old. I tried All Free-n-Clear, and anything on the market with no perfumes or dyes. None of them worked.
Finally, I found a dermatologist that mentioned these. So I tried them. I cleaned out my machine with a load of 2-3 of these soap nuts and some white distilled vinegar. It cleaned out my washing machine completely! No left over sludge gunk from the fabric softnener, etc.
I have a large family, so I do 16+ loads per week, and I use these in cold water. Three pre-teen and teen boys in the house and they get it all clean! If the clothes are extra-sweaty or grass stained, I put in some white distilled vinegar in the rinse water. Once the vinegar dries, there is NO smell.
These things are just wonderful, and my daughter's excema has finally calmed down to a manageable level!
Thank you Maggie's Soap Nuts!
Customer Review: You gotta try these!
Summary: 5 Stars
I researched these soap nuts a lot and so was prepared for what was in store when I purchased them. Yes, they are a little smelly before you use them, but they do not make your clothes smell weird. No, they are not all sudsy like regular detergent and it won't leave your clothes smelling like fake lavendar. What you get with this product is good ole fashion pure, natural clean! My clothes come out clean and soft and I have had no problems with this product at all! I do add a little bit of borax to my wash to help out, but I used to do that with my regular laundry detergent anyway. I think my clothes are actually in better condition and are softer now than before. And now I don't have to worry about chemicals that might aggrevate allergies and hurt our environment. Thanks, Maggie, for bringing this wonderful product to us!
