Put
3 to
8 half soapnuts shells (according to the table below) in the small cotton bag found in the package, close it and put it among linen in the washing-machine.
Soapnuts can remain till the end of washing cycle, as rinsing water is cold and very little
saponine will thus remain on linen.
Give a scent to your washing
Using
soapnuts, the scent will be neutral. You can therefore spray the cotton bag with a few droplets of essential oil (lavender, orange, mint…) to add scent on the linen before introducing it in the washing machine.
Resistant stains
In such case (blood, egg, grass, mud, milk, sweat, ice-cream, oil or jam stains), add some
ECOVER stain remover on resistant stains and put it together with the remaining of the wash.
White linen
To avoid the greying of white cloth, add
one to two spoonful of
ECOVER bleaching agent inside the washing machine.
