How Does It Work?
The somewhat sticky saponine in the shells acts similar to normal soap. As soon as the shells get in contact with water, this natural saponine soap is released and creates a mild suds.
Place 4 to 5 half shells in one of the provided cotton bags. Tie the bag and place it with your laundry in the washing machine. Start your machine as usual, with or without prewash.
