Nature's Wash
I started Nature’s Wash originally as an eco-friendly laundry service. Whilst researching different eco-friendly alternatives to the big name chemical detergents, I would periodically stumble across something called “soap nuts.” I finally decided that I needed to import some and try them out to see if they do as rumored. At first, I was afraid this was some crazy gimmick or potentially a trendy fad. But they really work! I was amazed at the difference in my clothes.
