Liquid soap nuts for washing for coloured linen with natural softening effect - 750 ml

Product detailed description

Why buy

In the eyes of the manufacturer, Almawin liquid soapnut detergent is a small miracle from nature and there is supposedly no other natural raw material for the production of detergents that combines so many benefits.

That's because Almawin doesn't know the benefits of washing in magnesium beads from the Japanese manufacturer, ^TerraWash+MG. We recommend looking at the most eco-friendly laundry detergent invented to date - in our eyes a retailer that has been into eco drugstores and organic lifestyle for over a decade and was at the origin of soap nuts in their normal form (they didn't wash at all and the laundry smelled). Because we lived in London in the 1920s, all the innovations came to us much earlier than to Europe and the Czech Republic in general.

Anyway, Almawin has put the nuts themselves into liquid form as an extract, which is definitely an innovation, and it's up to you to find out if what the manufacturer claims about its laundry effects is true. You have to try the product, just like we did. Almawin nicely describes his journey to this product in this article: https://www.almawin.de/en/good-to-know/soap-nut

We like the Almawin brand because of its tendency to innovate and to find the right and quality solutions in the best form, which is why we have included it in the e-shop.

About the brand

Almawin' s products include four product areas for eco-druggists: laundry products, household cleaners, dishwasher detergents and soapnut products.

They are accessible to all and provide maximum effects. The goal is that everyone can use natural drugstore products and not have to worry about a bad washing or cleaning result. See also other products from the natural drugstore for a non-toxic household.

Attention

Don't expect eco laundry detergents to have the same washing power as chemical-laden Persils and Ariels.This is very important to remember!

Those who change their toxic-laden lifestyle to a non-toxic one (but let's not be complete fools and use our judgement, because everything is too harmful and chemistry is simply unavoidable), do it either for health reasons, for nature and animals (our case for example) or because they have been influenced by some group or person on IG or FB and believe everything they are told without limits. The last one is wrong!

Remember that your own judgement and common sense are always in place and do not just leave your thinking in the hands of others, but think and make up your own mind. These groups and individuals often promote their own products and interests and certainly don't know all the products and inventions on the planet - especially the limited IG community on Czech IG, which mostly promotes only what is produced or sold in the Czech Republic, has too much influence on the mindset of the local population. Moreover, these people are influenced by their paid collaborations, personal opinions and limited knowledge of the whole topic and do not look deeply because their bias or laziness plays a role.

Everything that is said to you by a Czech person has been copied from abroad by the right experts - believe me, nothing has been invented or developed here and we adopt everything about 5 years behind the West. All the trends are coming from abroad and it's really funny how local brands are making their big breakthroughs out of it, and many times with a much lower level of quality because they simply don't have the money or even the interest - it's all about making money from this healthy lifestyle trend.

It's not for nothing that they say 100 people, 100 tastes, so it's a good idea to study what is written abroad about a given product or ingredient (always try to find independent articles) and test it on your own. This is exactly the case with TerraWash.

For us, TerraWash leads the pack of eco detergents because:

1. it supplies nature with the missing magnesium in all the water that goes from the laundry to the waste (the best benefit for nature, and therefore for us, that there is).
2. it can wash ordinary dirty laundry like any other eco product, but has zero waste - no plastic containers at the end of its life, instead we put magnesium balls in the soil with the plants as a natural fertilizer!
3. for bleaching works perfectly with sodium percarbonate above 60 ^oC, below 60 ^oC, use a mix of percarbonate and TAED, which is a percarbonate activator at lower temperatures.
4. gets rid of the smell of your clothes - especially functional materials, with which some eco products have a problem - sweat masks, but does not remove.
5. can be used for high temperatures and all materials, but personally we prefer to use a liquid gel for real wool.
6. is 100% hypoallergenic, so suitable for the most sensitive skin, and contains no toxic substances, only magnesium beads and that's it.
7. one wash is the cheapest on the market.
8. in Japan, hospital linen is washed in mustard because it can kill all bacteria and viruses.
