E: 30/04 Win an Eco Cleaning Set from Ethics Trading

Friendly Baby’s April Prize is...


...an eco cleaning set from Ethics Trading!

Imagine you could get away with using no chemicals in your laundry. Now imagine there is a single product that would help you with all the cleaning in your house – with no chemicals. Now take the leap and imagine the product described is natural and grows on trees, Sapindus mukorossi, the soap berry tree. Soapnuts are also known as Soap berries or soap pods - as recently seen on channel 4's How Toxic are you?
Soap Nuts are actually not nuts, they are a shelled seed or berry - it's the shells that we use. They grow wild in Nepal and India and are a natural source of high quality Saponin, a basic soap.
To use them you take about half a dozen soapnut shells, or 20-25g of broken bits, and chuck them in a draw string cotton bag. Bung the bag in the washing machine drum with your dirty washing and set it going. They are odourless so if you want fragrant washing then add a few drops of an essential oil of your choice to the bag.
Soap Nuts contain no bleaching agents and no optical brighteners so they won’t ever get that dazzling white we’re used to from supermarket washing powder. Ecover Laundry bleach can be added for an extra boost.
Ethics Trading are offering Friendly Baby customer’s the chance to win an eco cleaning set containing a trial pack of soap nuts, a 200g refill, a packet of Ecover laundry bleach, and a 10ml bottle of organic tea tree oil.
