My wife recently purchased a bag of soap nuts to use for cleaning
cloth diapers for our baby girl. They worked better than any other
laundry detergent she had tried. She was so impressed that she bought
them in bulk & opened up an e-store so that she have a home-based
business and still raise our daughter. Her site is http://Stores.HotterThanHealth.com
Check it out!

Maybe we should just buy in bulk too instead of paying $25/lb. for
soap and hoping 2oz of shells will clean a load.

they work just fine, but you can probably find them cheaper.

clarification: i don't have diapers, so i can't say about that, but the soap
nuts
work fine for the rest of my laundry. bio-kleen and bac out (same
company makes both) are supposed to be very good for diapers.

Hi! I came across this thread and I am not sure if this is a question
or implied question but thought I'd answer it none-the-less. Soap
nuts are a fantastic choice for nappies as they are hypo-allergenic
and great for parents who are wanting to play it safe because of
family histories of skin sensitivities such as excema and soriasis.
All you need to remember is to use 1 half shell per kilo capacity of
your washing machine (apportioned to your water level) and they'll
then last 4-6 washes depending on washing temperature and make sure
you hang them in direct sunlight to kill of any bacteria.

I too sell these items (but in/from Australia) which, I assume, is not
any real competition to the OP's site. I was unlucky enough to pass
chemical sensitivities onto my children and as such cannot use
anything with soda ash or the like. I now have my third child in soap
nut washed, modern cloth nappies (dry-pailed hemp ones) with far less
dramas than when I used conventional washing products. My site is at
http://www.greenandnutty.com.au/ if anyone is interested in more
product information. I must say I have nearly passed out at the price
you can get away with charging in other countries - cost of living is
pretty low here!
