Detergent/Soapnut Question

[Caz-x]

Hiya,

I wash my nappies with soapnuts, but use detergent for our clothes still. Is this affecting how well the soapnuts work???

I use detergent for dirtier stuff, and the soap nuts still get what they are used for clean.

If you notice the nuts aren't working so well and things aren't coming out clean then maybe it is a problem, but if they get stuff clean it is probably fine!

The leftover detergent will boost how the soapnuts work if anything. I'd just go easy on the fabric conditioner as that can interfere with them so if you're using too much and it's leftover when you use the soapnuts, there might be a problem.
