- Place 4-5 Eco Nuts™ in the reusable wash bag provided and tie it closed.
- Put it in with your laundry
and wash as normal, per manufacturer instructions.
- Remove the bag at the end of the wash and set aside to dry or do another load.
- Re-use 5-7 times in hot water and at least 10 times in cold until they start to disintegrate and then they can be composted in your gardenor simply add new Eco Nuts™ to the bag.
Do not overfill your laundry machine, the Eco Nuts ™ work more efficiently with more agitation and room to work. There is no need to add fabric softener; your laundry will come out soft and fluffy without it. Make sure you store Eco Nuts in a cool, dry place.
Eco Nuts ™ can be used in both standard and high-efficiency machines (HE). Eco Nuts™ work in all washing machines with any temperature water.
Thats as simple as it gets! If you are washing clothes or items that are a little more soiled than usual, try these advanced methods:
Warm/Hot water:
Use 4-5 whole Eco Nuts™ or the equivalent pieces in the sack and tie securely in bag provided. Throw bag in with clothes. Remove and hang bag w/nuts to dry when wash cycle is completed.
Cold Water :
Pre soak 4-5 Eco Nuts™ in the sack in hot water for a few minutes and add the “tea” with the sack to your cold wash load. Remove and hang bag w/nuts to dry.
Very Heavy Soils:
Pre soak 4-5 Eco Nuts™ in the sack in hot water for a few minutes and add the “tea” with the sack and put fewer clothes in the machine to provide the most agitation.
Brighter Whites:
Separate whites by themselves and add some bleach according to bleach instructions (we recommend
eco-friendly oxygen bleach, but any will work). A cup of lemon juice will also work naturally.
Hand Wash:
Soak 2 Eco Nuts™ in bag provided in hot water and add the “tea” to your cool water basin.
Stains:
Like regular laundry detergent, Eco Nuts ™ do not remove very greasy stains. Pre treat grease stains with a stain remover prior to washing.
