    You don’t have soap nuts as an option, they are not home made and not any of the above.

    Indian soap berries.  I mistakenly thought they are popular and I use them.  Google them.

    I used to use those, they were quite good and I can't remember why I stopped using them.

    My washing machine has an auto dispense function on liquid and conditioner. We now use less than we used to when my wife would always get carried away with dosage.
    May you find your sister soon Helli.

    More or less what they say on the tin... put a handful in a bag in your wash and they're good to use for about 4 washes.

    The downside is that they aren't good on low temps (certainly below 30 is a problem) and you have to remember to change them every 4 washes else you end up repeating washes. 

    Used to use them but as per TripleH our machine auto adds liquid cleaner now so have generally stopped using the nuts.
