GIVEAWAY! Natural Laundry Soap ~ Soap Nuts


Soap what?!
You heard me.
Nuts.
From a tree.
They will clean your clothes in the... cleanest way.
I should be a salesman, I tell you.

I received a bag of these last month and have absolutely loved them.  It's green.  It's crunchy.  It's effective.  And talk about no packaging!  Think about the bulky containers laundry soap comes in.  Now look at the picture above.  Once you've washed about six loads with four of these nuts in the cute bag provided (you get about 20 nuts in a sample bag), the nuts are ready to be composted.  No waste, folks!  I can't tell you how happy this makes me.  Also, these nuts are...

 BABY & H.E. SAFE!

Soap nuts produce very little suds, so they are perfect for your High-Efficiency washing machine.  They are also fragrance, dye, and additive-free, and they are 100% hypo-allergenic; perfect for baby's soft skin.

Want to see for yourself?  Nutz4Soap has graciously offered to give away SIX sample bags of soap nuts to my beautiful readers!  There are oh so many ways to enter:

HOW TO ENTER:

Leave a separate comment at the end of this post for each entry.  You must leave a comment answering the question for the mandatory entry before being eligible for extra entries.  After that, you have 6 possible extra entries to better your odds of winning.

Mandatory Entry: Visit Nutz4Soap and come back and tell me what other uses soap nuts are good for besides cleaning laundry.

Extra Entries: Leave a separate comment for each extra action you take for more entries.
The giveaway begins Monday, June 6, 2011 at 10:00 am PST and ends Friday, June 10, 2011 at 3:00 pm, PST.  Winners will be chosen through random.org and announced in a new post on this blog Saturday morning, June 11, 2011.
