Green laundry soap

Good old laundry soap

My husband a total environmental enthusiast today asked me to look for ‘daily dump’ composters (it’s a company promoting and selling beautiful compost units for home) (http://www.dailydump.org), for the organic waste from our kitchen. I was apprehensive because we live in an apartment and if the composter gives out any foul smell, then we will have to abandon the idea, not to say the pots and equipments.

But what caught my wits was the green laundry soap they sell. It has taken my thoughts back 25 years. The days we used to go to pond for a bath at my mothers house. Grand mother would ask us to take a few soap nuts(‘urruvanchikkayya’ we call in north kerala),so that we could wash our clothes from the pond.

Each time I get my bout of eczema, I think of those nuts, if I could have some of those then it would be less painful. And as I write this I have both my hands skin peeled, cause of eczema and the pril,surf … I use.So this weekend I have to get hold of the precious ‘soap nuts’ ,which the company is marketing even for washing machine. So it’s going to be less painful for the clothes as well. And not say about the water I will save for the ‘extra rinse’ I use…

So now I surely will have to buy that compost unit!!!
