What can be dangerous washing with a washing powder?
After washing with a washing powder, its particles remain on the fabric and fall on the skin of a person. Since the washing powders contain aggressive chemical compounds, it often causes allergic reactions and accumulation of harmful substances in the body.

The skin is the most extensive organ of the human body, which maintains the main contact with the environment. The particles of the washing powder and air conditioner remain in the fibers of the fabric, then enter the human skin and contain:

Pav (synthetic surfactants) from 15 to 30%. Even a 10-fold rinse in hot water does not lead to a complete release of clothes from anionic surfactants (A-PAV). The A-surfactant molecules when contact with the skin relative to its surface, penetrate into the microsudes of the skin, absorbed into the blood and apply to the body. This leads to a violation of blood properties and a decrease in immunity.

Phosphates - create conditions for more intensive penetration of surfactants through intact skin, contribute to reinforced degreasing skin cover, more active destruction of cell membranes, sharply reduce the barrier function of the skin. Significantly reinforce the toxic properties of A-Pav

Anti-referee and whitening components can cause various skin diseases, eczema and allergies.

Synthetic fragrances - contain chemical components that are well penetrated into the skin and are able to cause allergic reactions and skin irritation.

Alkali - can penetrate living cells and damage them. In many people, with alkalishes, neurogenic inflammation develops on the skin (in response to irritation of sensitive skin fibers with a caustic substance).

Than washer Soap nuts ® better than washing powder
Our approach to washing is fundamentally different from the approach of manufacturers of synthetic detergents. For the overwhelming majority of producers of washing powders, the main criterion for the quality of the powder is the visual purity of the wounded linen and the presence of some special smell of the fragrance, and the chemical purity of the role-wicked role does not play. This approach is fully justified from the point of view of image things, but from the point of view of everyday wear socks this approach in our opinion is not suitable. Think about yourself what is happening - suppose we have clothes that has visible traces of earth pollution. We wash this clothes with powder, we remove the traces of the Earth, but the remnants of the washing powder remain in the clothes after washing. What happened in this case with clothes? She became cleaner or vice versa dirtier? We believe that dirtier. Means Soap nuts ® is an absolutely natural product - the fruits of the Sapindus and allows lingerie without using synthetic detergents. Washing powders create the illusion of purity while Soap nuts ® really make things clean.

Than washer Soap nuts ® is better than washing with children's / hypoallergenic / environmentally friendly and wasy powders.
Indeed, the problem of chemical pollution of clothing has acquired so large-scale character that there was a whole segment for washing, designed to solve this problem.

1. Production of powders from soap chips. The path is not bad, and soap is really much safer than what is contained in the traditional powder, but the soapy chips kills the bearing and the tan of the washing machine, the underwear after such powder is rigid, and the pH reaction still remains alkaline.

2. Applications that the products are hypoallergenic, environmentally friendly and safe, while the composition itself remains essentially as dangerous as the traditional means of household chemicals. So makes most of the traditional SMS manufacturers, but especially the manufacturers of pseudoecological household chemicals succeeded.

3. Product production with really fundamentally different recipe. We know only 2 such firms - Almawin and Sonett.

It is clear that we can only compare our products from clause 3.

The main advantage Soap nuts ® is that their environmental friendliness and naturalness is obvious. This is not a white powder of incomprehensible content, whose security we have to believe from the words of sellers and manufacturers. Who will give a guarantee that the manufacturer suddenly does not decide to add some nastiness and will not write about it in the composition? Or who will guarantee that the white powder that is in the box is really a detergent from the manufacturer, and not a mixture of salt, soda, and some nastiness from Ivana & Ravzhana from the neighboring basement? There is a mass of cases of fake ordinary powder for 50 rubles per pack, and here from 200 rubles and more.

These questions disappear when used Soap nuts ®. Dried fruits are not a white powder and to fake them is impossible. Of course, we know cases when the use of smuggled products are sold under the guise of our products, but still this is the fruits of Sapindus, albeit worse quality, but natural, natural, the fact that the branch grew, and not some kind of chemical reflection.

Why Soap nuts ®; Such expensive compared to powders?
Not true. These are powders expensive, and Soap nuts ® Cheap;) Packaging 450 gr. The washing powder costs from 30 to 50 rubles. And grabs it on 3-5 washes. Consequently, the average cost of washing 10 rubles. Packaging nuts 500 gr. Enough on 100 washes and it costs 510 rubles. It turns out that the cost of one washing 5 rubles.

However, this is populism and compare the cost of washing Soap nuts ® With the cost of washing the powder is not correct in principle. How much is harmful to your health from chemistry on clothes? How much is the air conditioner that you pour into the powder? How much is the elevated wear of linen? This is on the one hand. On the other hand, the powder can be bought in cheap economical packaging, and Soap nuts ® Do not whiten and less effective in a number of pollution ... To accurately calculate, you need to take into account everything, just necessary?

Our opinion on the comparison of the value of washing is - there is a natural safe tool For everyday washing, whose wash value lies in the same range as the cost of washing with traditional powders. The choice is only for you than washing - chemistry or the fact that nature gives itself.

Due to what Soap nuts ®; Wash and clean?
Soap nuts ® is erased due to the fact that their peel contains saponins - natural superficial active substances, but not synthetic (both in industrial powders and air conditioning), and natural, skin-beneficial. Saponins begin to stand out from fruits when contact with water. Saponin molecule is one end with mud molecules, and another end with water, and "pulls" dirt into the water. The same principle as modern washing powders.

What made of what Soap nuts ®? From soap?
Soap nuts ® "Made" from soap-tree fruits - Sapindus. The fruits are collected, carefully remove the bone and dried. The dried spindlers hardens and becomes like a "nut". Neither soap, powder nor any chemistry is used. "Soaps" is the property of the plant itself.

Solution Soap nuts ® got into the eyes. Strongly pinch. What to do?

  1. Eyes do not rub!
  2. Richly rinse with running water until there is no discomfort.

On the Internet there are recommendations of a special injection of infusion in the eyes for the treatment of conjunctivitis and other diseases. However, we do not recommend to engage in such self-medication and advise you to avoid entering infusion in the eye to avoid very unpleasant sensations.

Is it true that s.mukorossi is "soap nuts" and s.trifoliatus is "soap berries"?

No it is not true. Soap nuts ® is a registered trademark of Soap nuts LLC and used to individualize their products - a natural detergent Soap nuts ® (Sapindus dried fruits) both s.mukorossi varieties and s.trifoliatus varieties.

In the Russian-speaking nerd, the term "soap nuts" is not known and is not used.

In total, about 15 types of Sapindus are known in the world, the fruits of which on modern botanical classification belong to the upper fractional sinkarpinal perinarias. According to the preceding classification systems, these fruits treated bones or single-bedded berries. According to an explanation to the Customs Union, the fruits of Sapindus and in currently Classified as Berries of Sapindus (soap berries). Therefore, the officially adopted term used to designate fruits as S.mukorossi and S.Trifoliatus on the territory Russian Federation is a "berry".


Is it true that in India the local population calls the fruits of SapindussoapNuts.?

No it is not true. In India, Hindi and Sanskrit are the most common languages. In Sanskrit, the fruits of Sapindus are known as Arista, Arishk or Phenila, and on Hindi as Araballa, Antavala (S.Trifoliatus) and Rishka or Rita (S.Mukorossi). Soapnuts is an English-speaking term.

Is it true that among the local population in India trifoliatus is considered second-time for washing?
No it is not true. Trifoliaatus is a South Indian variety, and Morious - Northoindian (Himalayan) variety. Their gravity of growth is practically not overlapped. The local population for washing uses the variety that grows in their locality.

The detergents of both varieties are about the same, and for manual washing (This is how the local population is erasing) the fruits of trifoliaatus are better suitable, because It is better blurred in unheated water.

In addition to detergents, S.Trifoliatus is very valued for its healing properties and is widely used in Ayurveda as a means for treating skin diseases.

Is it possible to grow soap tree in Russia?
In the Russian part of the Transcaucasia in the open soil, the views of the Sapindus Mukorossi Gaertn, Sapindus Saponaria L., Sapindus Drummondii Hook. & Arn. Trees begin to be actively froning in 7-10 years. Possible room cultivation. When growing at home, it should be kept in mind that the height of the adult tree reaches from 10 to 25 meters.

About washer

Do I need to remove from the car Soap nuts ® for rinsing time? Is underwear, if in the drum during rinsing lie Soap nuts ® ?
Saponins are allocated when interacting with water of any temperature. However, the higher the water temperature, the more intense is the selection of saponin.

To pull out Soap nuts ® From the drum during rinsing is not needed. The main part of saponin is highlighted from soap nuts during the washing cycle, when the washing machine warms the water. The rinsing cycle goes on cold water. When ringed in linen in the washing machine, saponins also stand out, but in very small quantities and precisely because of this, the underwear after washing is soft and does not require the use of the air conditioner. Saponins are superficially active substances, but not synthetic (as in industrial powders and air conditioners), but natural.

Saponins are generally useful for the skin. When using Sapindus in hygienic purposes, the skin becomes softer and smooth. At the same time, all protective functions are preserved, thereby increasing the resistance to infections. It is recommended to use people with eczema, psoriasis, and others. Skin diseases.

At what temperature you can wash Soap nuts ® ?
The temperature range is due to the possibility of a washing machine, as a rule, it is from 30 to 90 degrees, or the possibility of your hands, as a rule, from 20 to 40 degrees.

At what temperature is best to wash?
The general rule is such that the higher the laundry temperature, the more efficient work Soap nuts ® The lower the washing temperature, and the tougher water, the greater the shell is required to achieve a good result.

For washing what things are suitable Soap nuts ® ?
Soap nuts ® You can erase any fabrics - cotton, flax, synthetics, wool, silk and mixtures thereof. Linen can be both white and colored. However, the most appropriate soap nuts to wash 5 groups of things:

    Competitive and linens so that powder residues do not fall on the skin. This is especially true of children's linen.

    Color linen, because slightly acidic reaction Soapy nuts ® Provides color saving.

    Wool and silk, because First, such things can be erased only in an acidic environment, otherwise the thing will be spoiled, and secondly, you can slightly increase the washing temperature without risk that the thing will "sit down", and thirdly washing Soap nuts ® gives woolen and silk things a special softness.

    Membrane fabrics and reusable diapers, because Soap nuts ® are not clogged on such things

    Clothes from fleece, because This type of fabric has the ability to especially actively adsorb the fragrance contained in the powder, so if you do not want to actively smell the washing powder, follows such clothes Soap nuts ®. In addition, fleece clothing after washing soap nuts also becomes very soft.

For washing what things are not suitable Soap nuts ® ?
- for washing outdoor clothes, strongly contaminated by combined pollution (working jacket filled with machine oil, etc.)
- For washing white things, which should not be simply white, but snow-white (front-hand shirts, tablecloths at receptions, etc.). The fact is that modern washing powders contain two types of bleach - chemical and optical. The chemical bleach removes the pigment by oxidation with oxygen or chlorine. Optical bleach is a special paint that covers the fibers of the fabric, paints pollution and converts an invisible eye to the ultraviolet part of the spectrum of light into visible white. The optical bleach remains on the fabric all the time, and the part is moving to the skin.

Insofar as Soap nuts ® These are just dried fruits, they do not contain any of the above types of bleach. They just remove most contaminants. Therefore, you should make a choicing that you want - a dazzling and white thing and a bouquet of chemistry to add or just a clean thing that may not shine, but it will be really clean and without any chemistry.

How to erase white things with Soap nuts ® ?
As mentioned above, ensuring the level of whiteness, comparable to washing powders, Soap nuts ® can not because the absence of a bleach in them. Therefore, in order to get snow-white underwear when washing Soap nuts ® It is necessary to use oxygen bleach based on sodium percarbonate. This bleach is characterized by the fact that in water it is folded into active oxygen and soda, and is most safe for humans and the environment.


How to wash manually?
Fill in a whole tissue bag that comes in a set, shells (10-20 pieces) and soak in a basin for 10 - 15 minutes. Then, thoroughly blurring the bag, squeezing it intensely. A lot of foam should appear. Place the underwear in this detergent solution and give him 15-20 minutes to mock. After that, you can proceed directly to the washing of linen. Particularly polluted places are recommended to additionally process Soap nuts ®, using a bag with shells as a piece of soap. After washing the bag with Soap nuts ® Dry or put in a plastic bag and freeze until the next time.

What washing powder and how much do you need to add when washing?
Do not add washing powder! Soap nuts ® These are not washing balls. Soap nuts ® ® themselves contain detergent and the main advantage of their use is the wash without a washing powder.


Where to lay shells?
Shells need to lay in a cold bag that comes in the kit. This bag should be carefully tied and put in the drum of the washing machine together with the linen on the entire washing cycle.

Is it possible to leave wet underwear for a long time with Soap nuts ® In the drum of the washing machine?
At the end of the washing, it is extremely not recommended to leave wet underwear in the car. You need to immediately unload the car. This is due to the fact that with long-term storage of wet linen together with Soap nuts ® In the drum of the machine, it is possible to staining things that have direct contact with the bag in which soap nuts lie. This staining is unstable and eliminated by re-rinse. In addition, since saponin is a natural surfactant and decomposes rather quickly, then over-long storage of wet linen together with Soap nuts ® In the washing machine (more than 12 hours) can lead to an unpleasant odor.

How to count the shells if they are not entire?
One whole shell is two halves, four quarters, etc. It should be noted that in our products the number of neaseic shells is extremely few and counting problems does not occur.

Do not rub the shells underwear?
No, do not rub, because This is not a rigid nut shell, but only dried berry, which, when entering the water, turns and becomes soft. It's just dried fruit.

How to collect shells after washing?
In order not to collect the shell after washing in the kit goes a cold sac. It is simply necessary to get a washing machine from the drum and dry or freeze in a plastic package.

What to do if the stain appeared after washing?
If the underwear lay for a long time in the drum together with Soap nuts ®, then the most likely cause of the appearance of the spots - the drums of the juice of Sapindus. Such a stain is usually dark color. It is not scary, because The dye is water-soluble and this stain is removed by re-rinse.

However, sometimes spots appear, although the underwear was removed immediately after washing. These stains appear as a result of the action of saponin on some invisible stain that has already been on clothing. There is a so-called "manifestation" of stains. The nature of such stains is unknown. According to our statistics, about one buyer from 1000 faces such a problem. If this happened, you can try to remove stains to use bleach or traditional means of washing the soap type or washing powder. Since the washing mechanisms are different, then in most cases the stain can be removed. Although, there is some point of spots that are not deleted by nothing, the likelihood of such an event is very small.

How many spells need in case of incomplete download?
The amount specified on the pack with nuts is given at the calculation of the typical washing machine designed to load 4-5 kg, when loading the drum is approximately half. If you loaded very little linen, then the number of nuts can be reduced. The exact amount is selected by experimentally depending on the type of linen and the brand of the washing machine.

I have a non-standard washing machine. How much do you need a shell?
It is necessary to determine how much loading your car differs from type, with a load of 4-5 kg \u200b\u200band to increase or decrease the amount of shell.

And what to do with a bag with Soap nuts ® After washing?
After washing the bag with Soap nuts ® It is necessary to extract the washing machine from the drum and dry. I do not need to pull the shells. You can also put a bag with Soap nuts ® In the plastic bag and freeze until the next time. If you erase often, several times a day, then the bag can not be pulled out.

Things were not detained. The result of washing does not suit. What is done wrong?
There may be several options.

1. The insides of the machine are quite strongly contaminated. The fact is that on the inner surfaces of the washing machine with time, dirt is postponed and the colonies of bacteria are postponed. Especially this situation occurs if the machine erases constantly at low temperatures (30-40-60) and does not erase by 90. These bacteria neutralize the action of the detergent. When washing, the powder is usually not felt, because The dosage of the powder is obviously overestimated.

Helps a run of an empty machine for 90-95 degrees with citric acid (80 - 100 grams). This procedure is recommended to make every 3-4 months. The only limitation is not suitable for machines with enameled tank, because This may cause corrosion of the tank. However, most modern washing machines have stainless steel or plastic tanks for which this procedure is harmless.

2. Things may seem not detained compared to the powder, because The powder has special color amplifiers and bleach, which, in fact, simply paint the fibers of tissues with a special polymer, which converts an invisible ultraviolet part of the spectrum to visible white. Things after washing powder as if glow. At the same time, several goals are achieved - the dirt is painted, the linen is painted, the brightness of the paints increases.

IN Soap nuts ® There is no such chemical component. After washing them, it is not enough that the underwear ceases "glowing", so also gets out the grayness that the powder painted so diligently. Therefore, sometimes the appearance of things after washing is somewhat inferior to what it would be when washing the powder, but there is no chemistry. In addition, with frequent washers Soap nuts ® The color of things is preserved, and the fabric does not destroy.

3. Any complex stains before washing must be processed. None of the existing chemical washing powders can guarantee the removal of absolutely all stains. Soap nuts ® are a mild natural means for washing, and naturally cannot exceed the effectiveness of aggressive synthetic detergents, so it is impossible to demand it impossible. The use of an eco-friendly oxygen-containing bleach allows you to solve this problem.

4. Very rigid water significantly reduces washing efficiency. In this case, it makes sense to use a magnetic decarbonizer.

5. It is possible that the linen was too much and it could not have the opportunity to freely move along the drum of the washing machine. The fact is that with free mixing of linen in the drum is provided both chemical and mechanical mud. If the underwear does not have the ability to move, then only a chemical is provided. Soap nuts ® are a softer dying remedy, compared to the washing powder, so mechanical impact when washing Soap nuts ® is very important. Therefore, we recommend downloading the drum approximately halfway (so that the linen can move freely).

6. If the foam in the washing machine was generally absent (at least in the form of separate bubbles), this means that the entire detergent component contacted mud, and there is nothing more erased. It may be associated both with severe linen pollution and with a strong pollution of the washing machine. Need to clean the car and increase the number Soap nuts ®

7. In general, on their own experience, when washing nuts, it is necessary to experiment to choose the optimal wash program and the number of nuts, because All different cars, linen are different and most importantly, different water.

8. Best results Soap nuts ® are shown when washing wool, and color x / b lint. Worst results Soap nuts ® Show when washing synthetic light outdoor clothes. On the other hand, the outer clothing of the skin does not concern, so it is quite used by synthetic washing powders.

There is no absolutely universal, absolutely effective and absolutely eco-friendly detergent. Always have to choose than to sacrifice. Things having tight contact with leather should be washed with a means that ensures safety and true purity, and not its visibility. Upper clothes can really be erased by what makes the thing more beautiful, and the fact that the fibers remain the particles of the washing powder in this case is no longer so important if you are not confused by the smell of chemical fragrances from clothes.

Another thing as most modern synthetic detergents affect nature ... But this is already a matter of ethics.

Lingerie after washing does not smell. What to do?
No odor is the main advantage of using Soap nuts ®. However, if you want the underwear to have some kind of pleasant smell, then you can drop a couple of natural drops essential oil On the bag with nuts or in the rinsing department.

About environmental friendliness and security

How harmless is Saponina?
Saponins contained in plants in most cases do not pose a danger to human health. When receiving inside, they are not toxic, as they are destroyed in the intestine. In the form of dust, the only unpleasant action of saponins is irritation of the mucous membranes of the respiratory organs, causing strong sneezing and the feeling of the scratch in the throat. Saponins are dangerous only with intravenous administration, because Even in insignificant concentrations cause the destruction of red blood cells.

For Saponina's skin, on the contrary, it is useful. The fruits of Sapindus is widely applied for medical purposes. For example, saponins are used in the treatment of skin diseases during hair loss. They also suppress the growth of tumor cells.

On the Internet it is written that saponin is toxic for fish and worms - fatal outcome. Is it really so?
Saponin is indeed poison for fish and insects. That is why one of the applications of a Sapindus solution is a natural insecticide, you can protect sprouts from pests, you can drive out with your beloved dog. The whole charm of this fund is that Saponin is very fast (in a few days) decomposes in the water. In the presence of UV radiation of the Sun, this happens even faster and harms does not affect the fish. Otherwise, in India, where many soap trees grow, there would be no fish or insects.

If you do not pour fresh mortar directly into the aquarium or in the pond, then the fish will not harm.

Is your products on animals been tested? Did you suffer mice / rats / monkeys when testing products?
Products were tested invitro, so no mouse, no rats, no monkeys were injured

About washing machine

how Soap nuts ®; affect stainless steel drum, rubber gaskets?
Saponins that are distinguished from nuts when washing more carefully relate to rubber and plastic, in contrast to the aggressive components of washing powders. Soap nuts ® Does not contain any aggressive alkalis, nor acids.

Washing machines are designed for washing with washing powders only for machine guns. Is it possible to use in machine machines Soap nuts ® ?
Indeed, not any detergent can be used in an automatic washing machine. This is due to the fact that the detergent for such machines must have reduced foaming so as not to damage the washing machine. Foaming during washing Soap nuts ® is significantly less than even when washing washing powder for machine guns, so wash Soap nuts ® Safe for washing machine. On the contrary, Soap nuts ® are a good replacement of soapy chip powders, which destroy the bearing of the washing machine and stick to the tane, leading to its accelerated burden.

Lie will not harm Soap nuts ® Washing machine mechanism?
Soap nuts ® cannot harm the moving parts of the car. First, they are in the bag all the time of washing, and secondly, when entering the water, the shell becomes soft.

Lie will not harm Soap nuts ® Tan washing machine?
No, they will not harm, in contrast to the washing powder from the soapy chip, which sticks to the TEN and leads to overheating. Another thing is that the composition of modern washing powders includes components that, on the one hand, impede the formation of scale on the washing machines, and on the other hand, they also remain on clothing and harm health.

These components B. Soap nuts ® No, so in the case of hard water, it will be necessary to independently take care of the health of the Tan of your washing machine. For this, firstly, it makes sense to put a magnetic filter from screaming to a washing machine, and secondly, to periodically clean the washing machine using anti-vakipin or a specialized machine for cleaning the machine. Such brand means have many manufacturers of washing machines and sold in service centers. We draw your attention to the fact that we recommend using either antnakipin, or a corporate cleaning agent, not a caalgon that is not anti-zipin and on which there is quite a lot of complaints on the Internet.

Limonic acid can be used as the simplest antnakipin. It is necessary to load 80-100 grams of citric acid into a cuvette for the powder and start an empty washing machine on the program with a temperature of 90-95 C. In the case of rigid water and the absence of a magnetic filter, this procedure is recommended to do once a month. This procedure is suitable for most modern washing machines with stainless steel or plastic tank. For old washing machines with enameled tank, such a procedure is not recommended, because Acid can cause corrosion of the tank if enamel damage is already available.

About storage

What are the conditions of storage and shelf life from these nuts?
Keep Soap nuts ® It is necessary in a dry and preferably a cool place (not in the sun). because of high humidity Fruits can stick up, but they will not affect their detergents. However, it is not worth over to overwork. It best provides the necessary humidity plastic bag with a latch.

The warranty period of storage - 2 years, the shelf life of products while maintaining detergents is not limited.

How does frost affect the properties Soap nuts ® ?
It does not affect. To frost Soap nuts ® Indifferent.

About quality Soap nuts ®

Is it true that trifolitus grade is unsuitable for washing because Is it very little saponin?
No it is not true. The amount of saponin is not so much depends on the sampindus variety, how much depends on the time of collection, the conditions of ripening and the conditions for the storage of fruits. The maximum amount of saponins for more than 4 years of our work we saw at the trifoliaatus variety. But it was rather an exception. Based on our practice, according to the content of Saponina, high-quality trifoliatus slightly surpasses light Morious (from those that we were tested, and we tested a lot during this time) and a little inferior to the dark Morious. S.Mukorossi and S.Trifoliatus These are two grades of the same plant (soap tree), therefore, and the other can be washed underwear.

A significant difference that affects the features of washing is the content of tanning and coloring substances, which will be explained below.

Is it true that trifoliatus and dark mufforsi staining a cloth when washing?
No it is not true. Trifoliaatus can paint the fabric not when washing, and after it, if the bag with Soap nuts ® Leave along with the lifted linen in the washing machine. In this case, the bag on the underwear will be focused concentrated by infusion. If you were erased by a light Mulkorsi - then you will most likely notice anything, but in the case of dark Morious and especially trifoliaatus on clothes there may be visible drips. The color is not resistant, water-soluble, easily removed by re-rinse. Therefore, in the case of washing with dark Morious and especially with trifoliatus, it is advisable to unload the car immediately after washing.

Separately, you should pay attention to the fact that we recommend to wash it with the help of themselves Soap nuts ®, and not with the help of a ragger of them. The fact is that when cooking a decoction in a decoction, a lot more tanning and coloring substances passes than simply when washing. The longer shell boils, the more coloring substances go into the decoction. In the case of washing the decoction, we cannot guarantee the absence of a fabric color.

Is it true that Mulkorsi good quality Should not smell, be bright and not sticky?
Not true! The fruits are like light golden and dark brown. In the year two harvest. Summer - dark, winter - golden. In our practice, it is in dark fruits that the maximum amount of saponin. The darker fruits, the more ripe, and the more Saponina contains. We tested a sufficiently large number of samples from different suppliers and from different countries. Bright fruits are really beautiful themselves, their shells are more correct and they are really almost not sticky. Dark brown fruits are less beautiful in appearance, more sticky, there are overwhelmed fruits with juice drifts (main source of saponin). Insofar as Soap nuts ® is not needed to admire them, but in order to wash them, then we are specially brought only dark Morborsi as the most effective for washing.

It should be noted that the fruits should be sticky, but not sticking, the stickiness should only appear when contact with the hands of natural humidity.

Mulkorossy has a light plant smell with acetic-cheese notes, which is enhanced as temperature increases. The smell is also associated directly with the stickiness of the fruit, and the stickiness with the content of saponin. Therefore, very dry shells at all without smell have less detergent.

All wishing to check the above can independently carry out the simplest test for the content of saponin. Need to take one shell of the same mass of each species, put them in the same plastic bottles, pour half water and shake. The size of the foam cap will be proportional to the amount of contained saponin.

how Soap nuts ® should smell? For those that I bought - the smell is not pleasant, the broth smells terribly in general.
The perception of the smell of fruits of Saintdus is all different. Who perceives this smell like fruit, who is as acetic, who is cheaver. But about 3% of people the first association arises with something spoiled. Then, as a rule, the relationship is changing;) Unfortunately, this is the feature of the perception of this smell with different people. Like cheese. Someone loves him, and someone can not tolerate.

Most often, buyers do not like how the Mulkorsi variety smells, because He has a weak cheese and acetial smell. But the fruits of this variety are large and have a beautiful appearance. The trifolitus variety is small and less beautiful, but has a more pleasant smell - sweet fruit-floral. In our practice, most people like it. Someone compares him with strawberries, someone with coconut, someone with oriental incenses. Although there are people who do not like this smell either.

The smell of infusion or bravery in our opinion is more like the smell of a compote of dried fruits from childhood.

Once again we want to note that the underwear does not smell at all. Neither pleasant nor unpleasant;)

On bravery

How to cook a decoction Soap nuts ®? How much do nuts are required and for what amount of water?
To prepare a decoction, you need to take 4-5 nuts, pour two glasses of water and boil about 15-20 minutes on low heat. This is an exemplary recipe. Depending on the quality of water and the purpose of applying the decoction of nuts, you can take a different amount of 1 and to ... how much will fit :) Some and the same nuts can be boiled 1-2 times. The second time, it is desirable that the volume of water was smaller. In general, it is necessary to experiment with a concentration depending on the purpose of use.

What is the shelf life of the brave?
About storing the bravery. For some reason, he is still stored in different ways. It is likely that it depends on the water, the duration of the boiling and the time that the decoction is outside the refrigerator and the temperature inside the refrigerator.

First, the boxes hang in green clusters, later change their painting on pink. Even later, they dry without changing the colors and hang on the branches all winter, giving the tree decorativeness and charm.

Chemical composition of soap tree

The pulp of fruit contains up to 38% of saponins, natural foaming agents, which are used for the production of toothpastes and detergents. Studies of scientists have shown. that saponins are hypoallergenic substances, they do not cause denimatitis, no allergic reactions on the skin and perfectly cope with the removal of pollution, both from the dishes and from the surface of the fabrics. By its chemical structure, saponins are divided into steroid and triterpene.

With alcohols and phenols, saponins react to the formation of stable molecular compounds. This property is used in medicine to highlight the saponins themselves from the roots and fruits of plants.

The taste of saponins is bitter, when taken inside is not toxic, because in the intestines are not absorbed, but when introduced into the blood, they cause the destruction of red blood cells.

One of the main properties of saponins, along with important properties, which medicine uses for health promotion (antifungal, tonic, expectorant) is the ability to give foaming colloidal solutions, like soams and powders.

The effect of saponins per person. Saponins, in the recommended medicine doses benefit a person, healing his body. Preparations containing saponins are prescribed as:

  • antitussive
  • expectorant,

When taking inside, as noted above, they are not toxic, but some people can cause rash of urticaria on the skin. With excessive swallowing, saponins, irritating the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines, can cause nausea and vomiting, and even diarrhea.

The properties described relate to soap-tree saponins, the saponins contained in other plants can have completely different properties.

The effect of saponins on fish and insects. Colloidal solutions consisting of saponins act as a poison for some types of fish and insects. Saponina actually act on the grease function, disturbing the respiratory function, osmotic pressure and saline exchange of the body. Also devoting saponins and cold-blooded animals, even the slightest doses of the colloidal solution cause the death of animals and insects.

An interesting fact is informed by scientists that the poisoned fish with saponins is completely safe for the human body and remains edible.

The effect of saponins on plants. In plant cells, saponins change permeability. Interesting is the fact that in small concentrations of saponins, the germination of seeds is activated, and large doses, on the contrary, the development of seed and seedlings are inhibited.

Several centuries ago, indigenous people of Asia and America used all parts of this tree as a natural detergent. As mentioned above, a larger amount of saponins are contained in the peel of fruits.
