Every day we are exposed to many chemicals that are designed to make our lives easier. Most cleaning products, however useful, contain substances that can be toxic.

Manufacturers of commercial laundry detergents use chemicals such as petroleum distillates, phenols, phosphates and artificial fragrances to improve the performance of their products but as a result could be toxic or cause adverse reactions when used.

In some regions of the world, soap nuts have been used as a natural soap that contains no artificial chemicals and can be used as an effective laundry detergent.
