To celebrate eco-Friday and a new friend to Snickerdoodles we are doing a nutty good giveaway!
JSM Is an Okanagan based distributor for some fine eco-friendly lines like Underdoodles and they also offer something else I adore....soapnuts!
Have you tried them yet? I tried them last year and was so impressed and baffled by their cleaning ability. They really do work. They lasted a long time as well which I didn't expect which made them not only eco-friendly but budget-friendly. Here is some information from the JSM web page.
Organic Soap Nuts
Soapnuts are fruits that grow on trees.
These fruits contain a natural substance called Saponin,
which when dissolved in water, create mild suds. This soapy substance has
remarkable detergent properties, easily replacing normal detergents. It works
effectively by removing dirt and dissolving oils from clothes and other
surfaces.
Use this effective and completely natural product for your
laundry and other household cleaning purposes and avoid use of harmful
chemicals.
100% biodegradable. • Fragrance free washing.
Hypoallergenic. • Gentle on fabrics. • Naturally cleans and softens.• Environmentally friendly.
Yusula, the hip Mom who runs JSM has kindly offered to giveaway two packages of Soap Nuts to some lucky Snickerdoodles readers. Hop over to the JSM facebook fan page and give them a like, then leave me a comment here letting me know. We'd also love to know your thoughts on SoapNuts and feedback if you've tried them.
If you aren't already a Snickedoodles facebook fan please add me there as well so you can be sure not to miss another great giveaway from JSM coming soon and a fabulous giveaway in November. Share the contest with friends for extra entries, just let me know and I'll enter you once a day if you like.
We'll draw the lucky winners next Friday.
happy weekend friends,

Great contest. Would love to try these! Saw them in the package that Yusula donated for the online auction for The Run for the Cure...and intended to ask her about them. This is perfect. If I win, then I can try them!:)
