I sent out an email asking "Why do you use "Earth's Berries" soap nuts? Here are some of our customers comments:

"I am loving the Soap Nuts! Economical, ecological, village building, planet saving, people saving! Karen's story about a whole village being employed touched my heartstrings - a small change in my habits could mean a huge change in someone else's life. My clothes come out clean, soft and with no fragrance and a family is able to put food on their table - it's a win-win situation."
Jan

"I really like the fact that they leave everything so soft. My daughter and I both have sensitive skin and I like that there is nothing harsh about them... Awesome!"
Tracey

"1. Why would we not use these soap nuts when considering they are easier on our septic system which is very expensive to replace.
2. Can use on rinse cycle only which saves both water and hydro.
3. Clothes seem to be clean enough, {this was jack's}
4. Clothes seem softer to us.
5. We do not have to buy laundry soap, its containers etc on a weekly or bi-weekly basis and a lot less stuff in the landfill due to that. A no brainer really."
Cheryl and Jack

"I choose to use Soap Nuts:

Because I can purchase a quantity at a time and they are easy to store, not heavy like detergent when carrying home from the store - actually are delivered to your door and are environmentally friendly in every way.
Because I only need one product to do the laundry
I don't have to worry about weird fragrances they are safe to use for everyone - babes, seniors, anyone who has skin conditions or allergies
I like to support women supporting women"

"I love Earth's Berries because they not only clean my laundry, but they also take out any smells within the clothes. It is hard to explain but I find that if I do not take out the wash right away and dry it, there is a lingering odour and sometimes I have to rewash the laundry when using my regular laundry Detergent. Using Earth's Berries prevents the odour. I have always used Tide products, but since using your product I have been very satisfied in the cleanliness and freshness of our clothes."
Katrina

"I was amazed to discover that those natural little nuts where able to take the stink out of our our workout clothes. I have noticed that our clothes are softer without having to use a softener and keeping one more bottle of chemicals out of our home is wonderful. It's a very cost effective way to do laundry especially with our HE washer the commercial detergent is expensive, plus no big plastic bottle to throw out every month, and it's earth and body friendly. Everyone should try them."
Sarah

"Biggest factor I like about soap nuts is they leave no residue, especially nice with a dark wash! And no softener required".
Jo

"I use soap berries because they smell great! I love that they are shipped in small cloth bags, not giant plastic containers like conventional laundry detergents."
Lindsey

"The reason I have chosen to use Earth's Berries is to help eliminate polution. What I love about them is how soft my clothes are. As a textile artist who makes one of a kind garments it is wonderful just how gentle on the fibers the soap is. I make up the cleaning solution for my hand washables and use it also to clean my counters. I believe everyone should give it a try. Step by step we can change the world."
Judith

"We use Earth Berries because our family is trying in little ways, to what we can to be stewards of this earth. Earth Berries sell themselves if you give them a try! I tried them on a load of dirty socks and I was sold! You can feel and see the dirt on our socks by the time they make it to the laundry, so the results were pretty amazing for me to see! Using Earth Berries (and giving them out as Christmas presents to spread the word) makes us feel good about doing something to help the environment!"
Sara

"I like using soap nuts as an alternative to laundry soap because they are very economical and easy to use. Your clothes never feel soapy they just smell clean and fresh. It also makes me feel good that I'am not harming the environment with chemicals."
Lynn P

"I have always been the kind of person that has a separate detergent for my blacks....don't want that little black dress to fade.... and one for my delicates. I was very surprised that when I used the soap nuts my colours didn't fade and my delicates washed up beautifully. l love the fact that you feel your fabric and not the detergent."
Kathi

"I was very apprehensive to try the soap nuts.....nuts are going to clean my clothes....I doubt it!!. However, I was given a free sample so I thought what do I have to lose. I was very shocked to see that my very dirty gardening clothes came out of the washer as clean as any detergent. I was sold."
Lynn

" I just thought I'd let you know that I had an old piece of material that had yellowed quite badly at the folds, which is usually quite hard to get out. I washed them with the Earthsberries and it came out completely white."
Janine

"I've done 4 loads of laundry so far - with the same linen bag of soap nuts - and everything is clean so far! I had some food stained t-towels that came out clean, so far deodorant marks seem gone and nothing smells sweaty, and most importantly my musty towels - the reason I bought these - do NOT smell funky anymore! Hopefully everything continues to come out clean, I'm very happy so far and would buy this again. The only reason I don't give a "5" is that things are a little staticky out of the dryer, and I'm not sure if I should use softener sheets or not... Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend."

Joanne

"Totally surprised by performance."

Janet

"I have been using Earth's Berries Soap Nuts since June and I LOVE THEM! It's wonderful to know not only are we eliminating plastics and unnatural chemicals out of the environment, but the suds are so gentle we don't have to worry about them burning our clothing (and leaving those nasty orange marks!) when we launder. The berries are light - they aren't heavy or cumbersome like big plastic laundry jugs. Super for anyone with arthritis - no heavy lifting! When I'm finished with them, I just toss them into my compost bin. Thank you mother nature and thank you Earth's Berries Soap Nuts!"
